RnR Jan. Closure

[disneyfansx5]

I saw on another site that RnR was going to be closed for most of Jan. However, when I went to the Disney World site it was not listed. Does anyone know why this would be? Is it really going to be closed?

I hope not, that would make 2 major attractions closed since Splash Mountain is also closed in Jan.

What? Splash Mountain is closed in January? In the words of Homer Simpson......... DOH!

When I called disney to ask about RnR they said no it would not be closed. They also said nothing on splash mountain. The ones that are closed are typhoon lagoon, many adventures of winnie the pooh, body wars. He told me that they get the notice of refurbs and closures 6 months prior. This is just what I was told by the Disney Cast Member. You may can call them and double check cause he said to me in no uncertain terms that they get notified of these things even before the CM's who work at the ride or the parks get it. Shutting down major attractions he said is a big thing and they would have absolutley been notified. Just what I was stated from disney.

Splash is up on the Disney site as closed for almost the entire month. I think it reopens on Jan. 28th. Pooh is closed for part of January and February. No "official" word on RnRC yet, though it's a possibility.

As far as disney is concerned they have said it was absolutley not closing. I am going with what they say based on they said they get this information 6 months prior. I will call again and ask cause like we all know you sometimes get different info from different CM's. They hae said they get the info before people who work with the ride, or in the parks get the info. Just replying what I heard from DIsney.

I understand that WDW needs to close attractions periodically for refurbishment and have been disappointed (but understanding and not a brat about it!) with past temp. closure that have affected our trips. I have to say that RnR is my favorite ride and I will be so bumming if it is closed during my January visit!

I called a about an hour ago, and spoke a a very nice CM. He checked his system and RnR is not going to be closed for refurbishment. He informed me that right now people are calling heavily for packages, and this type of information on a closing this large they would have that info by now as he said they need to inform guests when they are booking. He listed the refurbs that would be going, but said at least 3 times RnR is not one of them. This was the second CM I have spoke to about it, and got basically the same answer with the stressing of how important it is that they be informed of something like this way in advance.
