This Classic Disney Attraction Will Be Temporarily Closing In January

Whether visiting Walt Disney World Resort or Disneyland Resort during the holidays, there’s always a lot to experience. The Disney Parks are transformed with seasonal decorations, characters, and snacks. Not only that, but holiday overlays also add to the festive time of year.

Walt Disney World Guests visiting the Magic Kingdom can experience the Jingle Cruise (the holiday overlay of the classic attraction, the Jungle Cruise).

Guests visiting Disneyland Resort can experience holiday overlays such as the Haunted Mansion Holiday and “it’s a small world” Holiday.

The only downside to these magical holiday transformations is the aftermath, in which these classic attractions have to close temporarily. Regarding the “it’s a small world” Holiday, which opened on November 11, Disneyland Resort has announced the timeline of the attraction’s upcoming closure.

On Disneyland Resort’s official website, the following announcement reads:

Starting January 9, 2023, “it’s a small world” Holiday will close for refurbishment before reopening as “it’s a small world.” Please check back for updates.

Although it may be disappointing to see that “the happiest cruise that ever sailed” will be temporarily closed, it’s certainly understandable. After all, “it’s a small world” Holiday can’t be a Disneyland Resort attraction all year-round!

DisneyTips will continue to report the latest Disney news regarding the temporary closure of “it’s a small world.”
