Major Ride Refurbishments in January??

[Tickla]

Just wondering-- I know Jan. is a slower time, and refurbishments happen alot then, but if some major rides (like Splash Mtn., ToT, RnR) were to be down, is it for a long time, or could we hope to catch it open at least one of our 9-day stay? Any knowledge is appreciated!

As of right now, I have not heard anything but I will be on the look out.

There have been rumors about them closing Space Mountain for 3 or so years to reconstruct it. However, when I went this last Saturday I asked a castmember and they said they have heard no such thing so I think this was just a rumor.

In '06, they closed Splash Mountain for 5 or 6 days for a minor overhaul. We did it our first day, but it was closed for the rest of our trip. Buzz was closed for about 6 weeks and Test Track was closed for a long time too. And of course the paddlewheel has been closed for forever. The previous year, It's a Small World was closed in Feb.

I would expect some things to be closed, some for a short time and others for longer times. I wouldn't expect to know all closures until about October or November. The closures are a small price to pay for the lower crowds, lower prices and great weather.

When we were there this past January, the only things I can recall being closed thruout our 8 day stay was Buzz Lightyear.

We went from Jan 11-22 last year and Buzz Lightyear and Test Track were both closed for the entire time. As of right now, there aren't any major refurbishments scheduled for January. I can't remember exactly when they announced the repairs last year but it may have been in the September timeframe.
