January Vacations, information needed.

[gomez]

hello.

I recieved very sad news today, when telling a friend about my taking my family vacations to disneyland (Los Angeles). The dates I have are from January 5 through 9

Unfortunately my last 2 family vacations in disneyland were not of absolute joy for my family since both of those times we could not ride the Space Mountain. one time the Haunted Mansion and One Time the Star Tours.

this friend now tells me that from January 5 to 9... Those 3 rides will be closed down.

please let me know if this is true or not. I fly half of my family all the way from Australia and the other half from Mexico. And it will be a very sad thing for me if that was true.

note: I am going to post this same text on other parts of the forum beacuse I dont know exactly where I can get an answer.

I don't know if it's true or really what Disneyland refurbishment patterns are, but January is a common time for rides to be closed for annual maintenance or repair. So the time you choose to visit is likely going to bring you some heartache if your visit's success turns or one ride or another.

That said, this site http://www.themouseforless.com/tripplanning/dlparks/rehab-closedl.shtml#jan11 shows that it is Splash Mountain, not Space Mountain that will be down, but it isn't going down for rehab until 18 January, or after your visit. Haunted Mansion will be down during your visit for repair and Star Tours is undergoing a lengthy and complete overhaul and will not reopen until May 2011.
