Status: Confirmed

Dates: Now - Summer 2019

After the closure of the Planet Hollywood Studios and then Legends of Hollywood several weeks ago Disney's Hollywood Studios has closed yet another merchandise location for refurbishment in the run up to the opening of Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge. This time, the closure is Mickey's of Hollywood which will remain shuttered through the summer while the interior is remodeled. This location is the main retail shop in the park on Hollywood Blvd, which guests can find just beyond the front entrance. 

4. Rafiki's Planet Watch (Disney's Animal Kingdom)

Status: Confirmed

Dates: Now - TBA Summer 2019

Last fall, Disney announced that Rafiki’s Planet Watch (and the connected Wildlife Express train) would not be available to guests for an indeterminate amount of time, releasing a statement that said they "anticipated" reopening this attraction in Spring 2019. However, though Disney definitely missed that original Spring opening date, they have confirmed that this attraction will once again welcome guests this summer. 

It has also been confirmed that  when it reopens this attraction will be a part of Disney's Animal Kingdom's celebration of the 25th anniversary of The Lion King, and several areas are being refreshed and changed to help bring guests back to Rafiki's Planet Watch when it reopens. We don't know exactly what kinds of changes have been made in the 9 months since Rafiki's Planet Watch has been closed (and what, if anything, has been removed from this area), but it looks like this attraction closure turned into a refurbishment, which is definitely a strange but interesting development. 

Though we don't know exactly when this refurbished and refreshed attraction will reopen, based on changes on Disney's website we'd guess it will be welcoming guests once again sometime this month, potentially as soon as next week!
