Crush’s Coaster and World of Frozen (Disney Adventure World)

It began with a scheduled closure on September 7, 2026 and is running through roughly Summer 2027, with an exact reopening date To Be Confirmed. In that same themed area, Frozen Ever After is a Frozen-themed boat ride in the World of Frozen zone at Disney Adventure World.

The final operating day is January 3, 2027, after which the attraction will be unavailable for an extended period to undergo restoration work, including rebuilding structural elements and updating safety features.

Shows and theatre availability
A Celebration in Arendelle is not available during the 2026–2027 window. It is scheduled to be closed from November 7, 2026 through April 2, 2027. Mickey and the Magician has its final performance on January 10, 2027; the theatre will be refurbished for the remainder of 2027, and the show will not be performed.

Dining and other closures
Plaza Gardens, the character-dining venue inside Disneyland Park, is scheduled to be closed for a significant refurbishment from April 2026 to April 2027. During this period, guests seeking character dining should consider alternatives such as Auberge de Cendrillon or other character dining options elsewhere in the resort complex. Plaza Gardens is expected to reopen for character breakfasts in April 2027, with evening character dining no longer available at that venue. readers planning meals should verify current allocations and reservation options well in advance.
Hotel pools and partner properties
Several Disney-owned hotels will close their pools for maintenance in 2026–2027. For Disney-operated hotels, closures include:
- Disneyland Hotel: January 4–January 15, 2027
- Disney Hotel New York – The Art of Marvel: March 8–March 26, 2027
- Disney Newport Bay Club: September 27–October 8, 2027
- Disney Sequoia Lodge: January 11–January 22, 2027
- Disney Davy Crockett Ranch: November 15–November 26, 2027
In addition, partner hotels in the same resort group or nearby properties report pool closures, with guests often directed to alternate Disney pools. Notable examples include:
- Explorers: January 11–January 22, 2027
- Dream Castle: June 26–July 6, 2027
- Grand Magic: November 8–November 21, 2027
When pools are closed, Disney policy often allows access to another pool in the network for eligible guests, though availability varies by hotel and date. If you rely on a pool for your stay, verify access options at check-in and consider alternatives in your travel window.
How to plan using the official closure calendar
To stay current, always check the official Disneyland Paris closure calendar for the latest dates and any short-notice changes. The calendar is updated regularly, and reopening timelines may shift as maintenance progresses. A practical approach is to review the calendar at least three months in advance of your travel, then again two weeks before your trip to catch any last-minute changes. If your planned visit coincides with multiple closures, a park-hopper option can enable you to switch between Disneyland Park and Disney Adventure World to maximize your experience.
For those using paid planning tools or add-ons, note that Disneyland Paris uses Disney Premier Access (a pay-per-ride option) rather than the US-style Lightning Lane system. Availability varies by ride, so check each attraction’s status on your travel dates before purchasing Premier Access passes. This helps you avoid paying for an option that isn’t available for your chosen rides.

Verification and credibility
Specific closure dates cited here come from publicly reported schedules associated with Disneyland Paris refurbishments and performances. Readers should verify against the official closure calendar to confirm current openings and reopen dates during their planning window. For example, Frozen Ever After is a Frozen-themed boat ride in the World of Frozen area at Disney Adventure World, and it closes for refurbishment from September 13, 2027 to September 27, 2027 (not a Finding Nemo-inspired ride).
Planning conclusions
When mapping a 2026–2027 Disneyland Paris visit, expect that some major attractions will close for refurbishment for extended periods. The most impactful items include Crush’s Coaster (through Summer 2027), Indiana Jones and the Temple of Peril (January 2027 onward for a multi-month renovation), and key entertainment and dining sites such as Mickey and the Magician and Plaza Gardens. The best approach is to monitor the official closure calendar, plan around peak-closure periods, and consider park-hopper tickets and Disney Premier Access where available to minimize disruption. By aligning your itinerary with known closures and using the official calendar as your primary reference, you can still enjoy a rich experience with minimal frustration.
