To find out which rides are closed at Disneyland Paris, check the calendar just below. It lists the scheduled 2026 closures month by month and updates automatically.

For the day itself, I also show you live which rides are broken down right now and which are closed today. A breakdown is a last-minute closure.

The calendar covers refurbishments, meaning closures scheduled for maintenance or renovation work. A refurbishment is a temporary closure, not a ride disappearing for good.

The Disneyland Paris ride closures calendar

Here’s the calendar of scheduled closures. Each closed ride appears with its dates and its park: Disneyland Park or Disney Adventure World (formerly Walt Disney Studios Park). The calendar lists closures up to the last date announced by Disney.

Which rides are closed today at Disneyland Paris?

Today’s closed rides appear live just below: the ones broken down right now, then today’s scheduled closures, taken from the calendar.

A breakdown can last a few minutes or several hours: if the ride matters to you, come back a little later. These last-minute closures don’t appear in a calendar of scheduled refurbishments. In the park, the official Disneyland Paris app also shows these closures in real time. I explain how to spot them further down.

The year’s big refurbishments: long closures

Every year, some rides close for several months for a full refurbishment: Disney repaints, replaces scenery and overhauls all the mechanics. These major projects often last four to six months, sometimes longer. Most of them happen between January and March, when crowds are lower.

Rest assured: a long closure is still a refurbishment, not a ride disappearing. The ride reopens completely renovated. If a ride really has been removed, see the rides that have disappeared.

Here’s the list of major projects known so far. For the longest refurbishments, Disney often announces the reopening date late, when the work is nearly finished:

  • Crush’s Coaster (Disney Adventure World): closed since 7 September 2026, reopening planned for 2 July 2027. Its biggest refurbishment since it opened in 2007: ride system, sensors and sections of track replaced. Instead: another roller coaster, Big Thunder Mountain in Disneyland Park, is still a safe bet.
  • Pirate Galleon (Disneyland Park): closed for a long time for refurbishment, no reopening date announced.

This month’s closures

This month’s closures are listed in the calendar above, month by month, as the dates are confirmed. Disney usually announces refurbishments two to three months ahead.

I’d suggest checking it as soon as your dates are taking shape, then coming back to check again a few weeks before you leave: Disney sometimes adds a closure or extends a project. That’s the whole point of a calendar that updates itself rather than a fixed list that quickly goes out of date.

Why are some rides closed?

As the park never closes its gates, maintenance has to happen during opening hours, one ride at a time. If a ride is closed, it’s almost always for one of these reasons.

First, routine maintenance: a short, scheduled closure to check the mechanics, repaint or clean. Next, the major refurbishment, a closure of several months to bring the ride back to as-new condition. Then safety upgrades, which can mean closing while parts are replaced. Some rides even close on two separate occasions in the year, once for routine maintenance and again for bigger work. That’s why it’s worth checking the calendar rather than relying on a past closure.

Finally, unplanned closures: a breakdown, the weather or sometimes very big crowds. Outdoor rides, for example, close in high winds or thunderstorms.

Why check the closures before your visit?

Checking ahead saves disappointment, especially if a ride really matters to you or your children. Nothing is more frustrating than finding construction hoardings in front of the ride you’ve been waiting for.

If you haven’t booked yet, have a look at the calendar before you lock in your dates. It’s the same habit as with the crowd calendar.

What should you do if a ride is closed?

If a ride is closed during your visit, you have several options. If you’re staying several days, first check whether it reopens before you leave. Sometimes a closure only lasts a day or two.

Otherwise, each area of the park has rides in a similar vein. For big thrills, several major rides can stand in for each other. With young children, there are plenty of gentle rides and they’re rarely all closed at once. If you prefer things calm, the quieter attractions and walks let you catch your breath.

Also consider the Single Rider queue where there is one. This separate queue, for visitors happy to ride on their own, saves time on the rides that are open.

How to read the closures calendar

To read the calendar on this page, first find the date you’re interested in, then the park (Disneyland Park or Disney Adventure World): the rides closed on that date are shown underneath.

Two things to know. A date can be confirmed (Disney has made it official) or provisional (it may still change). And Disney sometimes extends a closure while the work is under way, so the reopening date shown isn’t always final.

When no reopening date is known, you’ll see "reopening date not announced": this means the work is under way but Disney hasn’t announced a date yet. The calendar always reflects the most up-to-date information available.

How to find closure dates on the official Disneyland Paris website

The official website is still the reference for checking closures at the source. Here’s how I do it.

Step 1

Open the park hours page

Go to disneylandparis.com, in the park hours and calendar section.

Step 2

Choose your date

Select the date of your visit in the calendar.

Step 3

Choose the park

Pick the park you want, Disneyland Park or Disney Adventure World.

Step 4

Spot the closed rides

In the list shown for that date and park, rides that are closed or being refurbished are flagged. For these closures, the reopening date isn’t always given. The official website also has a FAQ page dedicated to rides under refurbishment.

How to find closure dates in the official app

Step 1

Open the Disneyland Paris app

Download the free official app (iOS or Android), then turn on location and mobile data.

Step 2

Check the list of queue times

A closed ride shows "Closed" or "Temporarily closed" instead of a time in minutes. Unlike the website, there’s no "closures" filter.

Step 3

Check the interactive map

Tap a ride on the map to open its page, which shows its status for the day. It’s the most reliable source for last-minute closures.

The official website and app don’t always give the reopening date or the reason for a closure. That’s exactly what the calendar on this page adds, by bringing everything together in one place.

Other closures: pools, shops, restaurants

Rides aren’t the only things that close for work. The pools at the Disney hotels can be closed now and then for maintenance. If the pool matters to you, check its status with your hotel before booking. Over at Disney Village, several shops and restaurants are being transformed, with openings and closures that change regularly.

Shows and parades can also be suspended, for rehearsals, the weather or a change of programme. For all these places, check the official app on the day or my pages to see their status.

Frequently asked questions

01 What is a refurbishment at Disneyland Paris?

A refurbishment is a temporary closure of a ride for maintenance or renovation. It’s scheduled and announced in advance, and the ride then reopens. It’s different from a breakdown (a short, unplanned closure) and from a permanent closure (a ride that’s removed and doesn’t reopen).

02 Which rides are closed at Disneyland Paris right now?

The list of closed rides changes regularly. My ride closures calendar gives the scheduled closures month by month. It also shows live which rides are closed today and which are broken down right now. It’s the most reliable way to know what’s closed during your dates.

03 How long does a ride closure last at Disneyland Paris?

It depends on the type of work. Routine maintenance lasts anything from a few days to a few weeks. A major refurbishment runs for several months, often four to six months. For long closures, Disney sometimes announces the reopening date late.

04 Do you get a refund if a ride is closed?

No, the ticket price doesn’t take closed rides into account and there’s no refund for them. The park stays open with dozens of other rides. That’s why I advise you to check the closures before you book your dates.

05 Are closures planned in advance?

Yes, in the vast majority of cases. Disney usually announces refurbishments two to three months ahead. That leaves unplanned closures (breakdowns, weather), which happen without warning on the day.
