Disneyland Paris Resort has revealed its temporary attraction closures for July 2025. Several popular Disney Park rides are set to go dark for maintenance. For guests planning to visit, this could mean longer wait times and possible changes to their vacation plans.

According to the European Disney Resort’s monthly updates, a few fan-favorite attractions at Disneyland Park will be temporarily unavailable starting this summer. The rides affected include Pirates of the Caribbean, Dumbo the Flying Elephant, Buzz Lightyear Laser Blast, and the Molly Brown riverboat. These closures are part of the regular refurbishment schedule to ensure safety and maintenance across the park.

Pirates of the Caribbean will also close on June 23 but is expected to reopen on July 12. Buzz Lightyear Laser Blast and the Molly Brown riverboat will remain closed throughout the month.
