November 2016 Refurbs

[emilyhuff]

The park hours were just posted today for Nov 1st and it looks like Splash Mountain, Space Mountain, IASW and Jungle cruise are all on refurb as of that date!

I am assuming that:

Jungle Cruise will be turned to Jingle cruise in time for 11/10 holiday opening at DL???
Space Mtn will turn to regular Space Mountain and the ghost overlay taken out after Halloween (how long would this take???!)
Splash Mtn I read should reopen on November 5th (here's hoping)
IASW seems to be closed the entire month of October (are they doing a holiday overlay here too)

Anyone have any info on these and their tentative reopen date??

Yes, I would assume that both Jungle Cruise/Jingle Cruise and IaSW/IaSWH will be be open for the start of the holiday season on the 10th. I haven't heard whether they've announced if HyperSpace or regular Space Mtn will return after Ghost Galaxy ends, but historically (not counting last year), the closure to remove the overlay was very short (one day).

AHH you have calmed my nerves! We have four days in the park, Nov 7-10 and want to do everything we possibly can, and those four attractions are must do's (mostly just to compare to WDW )

What about Splash? Has anyone heard about a November refurbishment? Don't they typically do that after the first of the year?

Take it with a large grain of salt, but Disneyland.com lists the Splash refurbishment as: October 3, 2016 through November 3, 2016.

Man, posts like this make my heart drop. But looking at the DL website, looks like Splash will be back open 10 days before we arrive. Plenty of time for a margin of error. And I'm hoping the rest of these just have really short down times for the sake of everyone arriving that week.

Splash is supposed to open back up Nov 4th (the website says down 10/3-11/3). I have read a few threads on here that the Space Moutain down time is to remove the overlay and only takes a couple of days and going back to the regular SM vs. the star wars.

I looked all over trying to figure out when Splash would be back up and couldn't find a date. I hope the 4th is right!! That's in the middle of our trip. I would be a happy lady.

This is a lot closed while we're there.

It is kind of hard to find - you have to look at in map view, make sure the date you want is selected at the top, and then when you click on an attraction it will show you the dates the ride is down. This doesn't seem to work for rides that have two options (like "jungle cruise" and "jingle cruise").

Darn it! I'm starting to think we picked a bad time to go to DL. We will be missing out on IASW and Jungle Cruise, on top of everything else that is closed right now! And this is a first time trip for all our kids. I'm really starting to dislike all these holiday overlays. Ugh.

You'll have a wonderful time...promise! I've taken my family when various closures have been in place (even the more famous rides....like Matterhorn, Screamin', Pirates, Haunted Mansion, Splash)....I've feared it wouldn't be fun...and it is always fun, no matter what. For me, I'm bummed the railroad will be closed when we next visit (only few weeks after you) just cos it offers some much needed rest! You and your family will have a GREAT time.
