We are going on the 22nd of Oct and that is the first day it is showing small world to be closed, do you think we can get lucky enough for it to not start that day??
Disney is usually very accurate with refurb dates. We were at Epcot a couple weeks ago and we were there the day before and after Spaceship Earth closed. The day before, everything looked nice, but the next day, there were huge walls and a large crane in a construction zone. If it says it will close on a certain date, it WILL close on that date.
