3. Tomorrowland Transit Authority Peoplemover (Magic Kingdom)

Status: Confirmed

Dates: Now - TBA

One of the attractions that did not open with Walt Disney World when it reopened in July was the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover, and right now this attraction is expected to stay closed through at least the first month of the new 2021. And while we could get lucky and see a reopening for this attraction just in time for Spring Break, rumors are starting to swirl that there is something seriously wrong with this attraction, due to several factors, including the fact that this attraction hasn't operated in almost a full year, the refurbishment keeps getting extended, and the fact  guests have even reported seeing Peoplemover ride vehicles crashing into one another. 

Unfortunately, Disney has not given any updates about this project, and if there are indeed issues with this attraction, we doubt they'd make a public announcement. In any case, we'll be keeping a close eye on this project and seeing if there are any signals that this refurbishment could be coming to an end anytime soon. 

4. Walt Disney World Railroad (Magic Kingdom)

Status: Confirmed

Dates: Now - TBA 2022

Walt Disney World Railroad has been closed since the beginning of 2019 and though there haven't been any official updates on the refurbishment of this attraction, with the delay of the TRON Lightcycle / Run, it looks like this refurbishment will last at least another year due to construction slowdowns, as Disney is rumored to now be targeting a 2022 opening date for  TRON Lightcycle / Run. Disney has yet to update their official calendar for this attraction, but we'll let you know if there are any updates in the near future.

5. Jungle Cruise (Magic Kingdom)

Status: Confirmed

Dates: TBA 2021

Earlier this month Disney confirmed that the Jungle Cruise will be closing later this year for an extensive refurbishment that will see the entire attraction reimagined. When it reopens, this ride will have a new story and creative concept which will allow guests to follow a Jungle Cruise skipper and their passengers as a journey goes awry. Guests will float by a skipper who’s been chased up the pole by the rhino along with the other explorers as well as an all-new scene where a sunken boat splits apart and chimps board the wreckage, with monkey business ensuing.

Right now there is no schedule for when this attraction will close and this refurbishment will begin, but Disney has said that they will be sharing more information about this project in the near future as the refurbishment is is set to kick off sometime later this year. You can learn more about this refurbishment here.
