Want to know which Disneyland Paris rides are closed? Scroll to the calendar just below. Month after month, it tracks every planned 2026 closure, and it refreshes on its own.

For same-day info, I also display live the rides currently out of service and the ones shut for today. Think of a breakdown as a closure nobody saw coming.

As for the calendar, it focuses on refurbishments: closures planned ahead of time for upkeep or renovation work. A refurbishment means the ride is resting for a while, not leaving for good.

The Disneyland Paris ride closure 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). Closures are listed up to the latest date Disney has announced.

What rides are closed today at Disneyland Paris?

Today’s closed rides show up live right below: first the ones down at the moment, then the day’s scheduled closures, pulled from the calendar.

A breakdown can last a few minutes or several hours, so if the ride matters to you, check back a little later. These last-minute closures never make it into a calendar of planned refurbishments. In the parks, the official Disneyland Paris app also shows them in real time. I explain how to spot them further down.

This year’s major projects: long closures

Every year, a few rides close for several months for a full overhaul: Disney repaints, replaces sets, and goes over all the mechanics. These big projects often run four to six months, sometimes longer. Most of them happen between January and March, when crowds are lighter.

Good news: a long closure is still a refurbishment, not a ride going away. The ride reopens completely refreshed. If a ride really has been removed, head over to the rides that are gone for good.

Below are the big projects on record as of today. When a renovation drags on, Disney tends to reveal when the ride will be back only toward the end, as the crews wrap up:

  • Crush’s Coaster (Disney Adventure World): closed since September 7, 2026, scheduled to reopen on July 2, 2027. Its largest overhaul since opening day in 2007: new mechanical parts, new sensors, and some stretches of track swapped out. Instead: another roller coaster, Big Thunder Mountain at Disneyland Park, is always a safe bet.
  • Pirate Galleon (Disneyland Park): closed long-term for refurbishment, with no announced reopening date.

This month’s closures

This month’s closures appear in the calendar above, month by month, as dates get confirmed. Disney generally announces refurbishments two to three months in advance.

I suggest checking it as soon as your travel dates take shape, then coming back 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 on its own instead of a fixed list that goes stale fast.

Why are some rides closed?

Since the park never shuts down, maintenance has to happen during operating hours, one ride at a time. When a ride is closed, it’s almost always for one of these reasons.

First comes routine maintenance: a short, planned closure to check the mechanics, repaint, or clean. Next is the major renovation, a closure lasting several months to make the ride like new. Then there are safety upgrades, which may require a closure while parts are replaced. Some rides even close twice a year, once for regular upkeep and again for more extensive work. That’s why it pays to check the calendar rather than rely on a past closure.

Last come the surprise closures, caused by a technical issue, bad weather, or now and then a crush of guests. Open-air rides will shut down when a storm rolls in or the wind picks up, for instance.

Why check closures before your visit?

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

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

A ride is closed: what are your options?

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

Otherwise, every land in the park has rides with a similar feel. For big thrills, several major rides offer a comparable kick. With little ones, gentle rides are plentiful and rarely all closed at once. If you’d rather take it easy, calmer attractions and strolls on foot give you a breather.

Also keep the Single Rider line in mind where there is one. This separate line, for guests willing to ride alone, saves time on the rides that are open.

How do you read the closure calendar?

To read the calendar on this page, start by finding the date you care about, then the park (Disneyland Park or Disney Adventure World): the rides closed on that date are listed underneath.

Two things to keep in mind. A date can be confirmed (Disney has made it official) or tentative (it may still change). And Disney sometimes extends a closure partway through the work, so the reopening date shown isn’t always final.

When no reopening date is known, you’ll see the note "reopening date not announced": the work is underway, but Disney hasn’t shared a date yet. The calendar always reflects the most current information available.

Where does the Disneyland Paris website list closure dates?

The official website is still the go-to source for checking closures firsthand. Here’s how I do it.

Step 1

Open the park hours page

Go to disneylandparis.com and find the section with park hours and the park calendar.

Step 2

Pick your date

Use the calendar to click on the day you plan to visit.

Step 3

Pick the park

Choose the park you’re interested in, Disneyland Park or Disney Adventure World.

Step 4

Spot the closed rides

The list for that day and park marks every ride that’s shut or being refurbished. Don’t count on seeing a reopening date for each of them. Disney’s website also hosts a separate FAQ page about rides under refurbishment.

Where does the official app show ride closures?

Step 1

Open the Disneyland Paris app

Get the free official app for iOS or Android, then switch on location access and mobile data.

Step 2

Check the wait times list

Rides that are down display "Closed" or "Temporarily closed" in place of a minute count. The website has a "closures" filter, but the app doesn’t.

Step 3

Double-check on the interactive map

On the map, tap any ride to pull up its page with today’s status. Nothing beats it for closures announced at the last minute.

Disney’s own website and app don’t always tell you when a ride will reopen, or why it closed. Filling that gap is the job of the calendar on this page, which gathers everything in a single spot.

Other closures: pools, stores, restaurants

Rides aren’t the only things that close for work. The pools at the Disney hotels can be down for occasional maintenance. If the pool matters to you, ask your hotel about its status before booking. Over at Disney Village, several stores and restaurants are being transformed, with openings and closures shifting regularly.

Shows and parades can also be paused for rehearsals, the weather, or a program change. For all of these places, check the official app on the day or my guides to find out their status.

Frequently asked questions

01 What counts as a refurbishment at Disneyland Paris?

A refurbishment is a temporary ride closure for maintenance or renovation. It’s scheduled and announced in advance, and the ride reopens afterward. That’s different from a breakdown (an unplanned, short closure) and from a permanent closure (a ride that’s removed and never reopens).

02 Which rides are closed right now at Disneyland Paris?

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

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

It depends on the kind of work. Routine maintenance takes anywhere from a few days to a few weeks. A major renovation stretches over several months, often four to six. For long closures, Disney sometimes announces the reopening date late in the game.

04 If a ride is closed, can you get your money back?

No, ticket prices don’t factor in closed rides, and there’s no refund for them. The park stays open with dozens of other attractions. That’s why I recommend checking closures before you book your dates.

05 Are closures announced in advance?

Yes, nearly always. Disney generally gives two to three months’ notice of refurbishments. The exceptions are unexpected closures (a breakdown, the weather), which hit on the day with no warning.
