Image: Disney
Status: Confirmed
Dates: TBA August - TBA December
The Beaches and Cream restaurant at Disney's Yacht and Beach Club Resort will be closing this August for a lengthy refurbishment, with a tentative reopening set for December 2019. During that time, there will be a temporary location at the Yacht and Beach Club Resort offering ice cream, but not the Kitchen Sink. During this closure, the interior of the restaurant will be remodeled, but the theme will remain the same.
4. Walt Disney World Railroad (Magic Kingdom)
Status: Confirmed/Rumored
Dates: December 3, 2018 - TBA
The Walt Disney World Railroad will be closing this holiday season in order to make adjustments for the upcoming Tron roller coaster attraction, which will be ramping up construction in the new year. And though it looked like the train might reopen periodically throughout the year, this attraction's reopening is back to TBA status, which means that it could be months or even years before guests are able to experience this attraction again.
However, while we don't know exactly when this attraction will come back, The Disney Blog has posted a rumor that this attraction could be "plussed up" with a dino diorama scene (similar to what used to be available at Disneyland) using some of the leftover animatronics formerly used in the Universe of Energy attraction. Though Disney has not said anything about the future of the Walt Disney World Railroad at this time, this would certainly be an awesome addition to this attraction, if true.
5. Star Wars Speeder Bike photo op (Disney's Hollywood Studios)
Status: Rumored
Dates: TBA
Earlier this week, walls went up around some of the walkways near Grand Avenue at Disney's Hollywood Studios near where the walkway to Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge eventually will be. Though not formally announced, these walls are probably hide construction related to widening the walkways to this upcoming land. And while this by itself normally wouldn't be that noteworthy, the Star Wars Speeder Bike photo op is also behind walls at this time, and it is unknown if this photo op is being relocated or removed at this time. Hopefully we'll know more soon about the fate of this fun photo op!
