Hi everyone... first time poster here.

We are planning our first family trip for the last week of January and I was curious about the chances of Splash Mountain being open?

I found information from 2011 and 2010 that stated it was closed for refurb during January. Is this a yearly thing?
 
not sure about the refurb schedule but wanted to say that if it is too cold they will close it. However we have rode it in January wearing out winter coats.. of course it got our coats wet and their water smells like sewage so that was unpleasant.
 
It's usually a yearly thing. Rumor has it that it will be open January 2012. But there has been no concrete evidence for or against this rumor (it was heard from a CM that works splash mountain).
 
The last 3 years it has been. We go every year for DD bday-its her fav ride, and its freezing so she doesnt get to ride it.

I think the news of Fantasmic being closed Jan 4 - Feb 12 is a huge refurb...

I do hope Splash is open, but then there is a rumor that Thunder Mountain may get the refurb in Jan instead of Splash - but at this point, nothing has been written in stone..

Sweage... yuck! I can see how that wouldn't be pleasant at all.

I think I read about the possible refurb of Thunder Mountain somewhere on the boards too. Guess I just have to wait till closer to January to find out for sure if it will be open. Thanks for all the answers!

Thanks for the hello! I have been lurking for awhile now... today just seemed like a good day to come out of hiding :wave2:
 
Just to let you know we went on the behind scenes tour at mk and saw the back of splash mountain. They treat the water at splash mountain so the water is actually clean.
 
We've gone down in January for the last 4 yrs and I'm pretty sure Splash Mtn has been down every trip.

Kind of like our Thanksgiving trip and Typhoon Lagoon is always closed.
