January 2024 Refurbs - World of Color, Grizzly River Run & Blue Bayou Restaurant &more...

Hi Folks!

I'm updating this post for the season going into 2025. I might paste this into a new 2025 thread, or into an existing one. A few notes regarding these dates:
  1. IASW closed earlier than usual in late summer/fall 2024 for holiday overlay installation. It closed on September 16, 2024, which is a whole month earlier than usual.
  2. Official holiday time at Disneyland is November 15, 2024-January 6, 2025. That last date is on a Monday, which means any closures will not happen on that day, and will usually occur on the next business day.
  3. Multiple sites have reported that IASW will go down on January 21, 2025 and reopen Spring 2025 after an extended refurbishment. This news all but confirms that HM will go back to being the first ride down after the holidays, which is the historical norm dating back to 2010. HM was the second ride to go down these past two years (2023 and 2024).
    1. Note: January 20, 2025 is Martin Luther King, Jr. day (federal holiday) and Inauguration Day. Rides typically go down on Mondays, but move to the next business day if that falls on a holiday.
  4. Some clerical changes were made to the previous post (example: wrong year listed).

IASW overlay removal (prediction): January 21, 2025 - Spring 2025
HM overlay removal (prediction): January 7-17, 2025
