Disneyland Park closures as of September 5, 2026
Saturday, September 5 is still before the Indy and Mad Tea cutoffs. Use the current table for what is down today, then the upcoming table for what changes later this month.
Currently closed or limited (Disneyland Park)
| Attraction / venue | Status as of Sep 5, 2026 | Expected return | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Frontierland Shootin’ Exposition | Closed | September 11, 2026 | Down since early July on published calendars. Soft attraction, but easy to miss if you assume it is always open. |
| Pixie Hollow (Tinker Bell meet) | Open today; closing for longer downtime starting September 6 | TBD after Sep 6 start | Had been dark Tue/Thu into early September. Calendars list a longer closure beginning Sep 6 with no reopen posted. Verify same-day hours in the app. |
| Minnie & Friends Breakfast in the Park (Plaza Inn) | Character breakfast still out | Late September TBD | Plaza Inn regular dining has generally stayed open. Confirm character return on Disneyland.com dining. |
| Star View Station (DVC lounge) | Closed / temporary lounge noted earlier in season | Verify in app | Not a public ride. DVC guests should confirm lounge location in the app or with Member Services. |
Upcoming September closures (Disneyland Park)
| Attraction | Closes | Listed return | Plan around it? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Indiana Jones Adventure | September 8, 2026 (last listed operating day Sep 7) | TBD (no hours through the public calendar window reported in late August) | Yes. Do not sell a mid-September Adventureland day as an Indy day until Disney posts hours again. |
| Mark Twain Riverboat | September 8–11, 2026 | September 12, 2026 | Short hit. Check Fantasmic entertainment calendar separately if your night depends on the river show. |
| Mad Tea Party | September 14, 2026 | TBD | Kids who only care about teacups need a plan. Alice in Wonderland next door is the usual backup. |
| Pirate’s Lair on Tom Sawyer Island | About September 14–16, 2026 (working window) | September 17 on calendars that give an end date; some still say TBD | Short island hit. Refresh Disneyland.com. |
| Sailing Ship Columbia | September 21–24, 2026 | September 25, 2026 | Four-day river hit after Indy is already down. |

Disney California Adventure closures as of September 5, 2026
| Attraction / area | Status as of Sep 5, 2026 | Expected return | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chiller at Paradise Gardens Park | Closed | TBD | Near Silly Symphony Swings. Major September trackers list this as the only DCA refurb of note this month. |
| Cars Land ↔ Avengers Campus walkway | Open (reopened August 29, 2026) | Open now | Direct path returned with the Take-A-Brake Rest Stop restrooms. Avengers Campus expansion walls remain nearby. Confirm routing on the park map if construction shifts. |
| Silly Symphony Swings / Inside Out Emotional Whirlwind / Guardians / Racers | Operating on normal calendars | N/A | May 2026 “current closure” language on older EI pages is obsolete. Verify day-of hours in the app. |
Walkway note: Our August 28 September closures post still described the Cars Land–Avengers connector as closed. Independent on-site reports and Disney community posts show it reopened August 29, 2026. As of September 5, treat the walkway as open, and still expect expansion construction in Avengers Campus through the mid-decade attraction openings. If your map shows a temporary wall the morning you visit, follow Cast Member detours.
Construction and permanent-change notes (not short refurbs)
- Avengers Campus expansion (Infinity Defense / Stark Flight Lab era work) continues behind walls. Path between Cars Land and Avengers is open again as of Aug 29, 2026.
- Monsters, Inc. Mike & Sulley to the Rescue! remains on the long-term “closing in 2027” track in Disney’s published future plans. It is not a September 2026 refurb. Ride it while you can, but do not confuse that with this month’s calendar.
- Coco-related construction behind Pixar Pier is why Oogie Boogie Bash replaced the old parade with Madame Leota’s Swinging Wake in 2026. That is entertainment routing, not a ride closure table.
Who should care: quick decision table
| You are… | What matters most now | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Visiting on or before Sep 7 | Indy and Mad Tea still available | Ride Indy if it is a must. Confirm Shootin’ Exposition is still closed. |
| Visiting Sep 8–13 | Indy already dark; Mad Tea still up until Sep 13 | Rebuild Adventureland plan. Optional Lightning Lane buy changes without Indy. |
| Visiting Sep 14+ | Indy + Mad Tea both TBD-dark | Do not promise teacups. Use Fantasyland backups. Check Tom Sawyer Island window. |
| DCA-focused / Bash night | Almost all headliners available; Chiller down | Treat trails and Madame Leota’s street party are the Bash story. See the Oogie Boogie Bash guide. |
| Hotel guest chasing Comp LL | Closures change which Lightning Lane you burn | Read the hotel perks hub and the LL guide. |
