With all the refurbs is it worth it?

[mrsnj91]

Looking at end of August and trying to decide if it’s worth it right now. I keep seeing closures and refurbs and wondering if it might be better to wait till after the new year or next summer. I was so mad when we hit AK two years ago. It wasn’t even worth the ticket price. I don’t know if I want to do that again. So whats closing/closed in MK and HS? If you did one park which would it be based on all that?

Disney is always changing so there's always a refurb going on.

You can look at the refrubs and closures for your dates.

Only you know if its worth it.

What was even closed in AK a couple years ago?

WDW has major projects coming up all parks except EP that are going to take years. It is just not gonna be possible for a no refurb/closure trip for like the next half a decade…

AK has more closed now than it did 2 years ago. Like @gottalovepluto I can't think of what was closed 2 years ago so it wasn't a huge hit to our trip.

As others have shared, Disney is always doing refurbishments and closures happen 365 days a year. Only you know if it is 'worth it' to you knowing it is impossible to visit Disney without things closed for refurbishment.

If you're not able to visit often and are waiting for things that are closed during your trip, you may wish to delay but know that whenever you delay to, other things will be closed.

Refurbishments keep Disney safe and keep us coming back to see what's new since our last visit.

If Disney didn’t close some attractions for refurbishment, I bet Walt Disney would be rolling in his grave after witnessing the lack of innovation or upgrades.

What was closed at AK in 2023? You can do a search of refurbishments/construction at Disney on a different site and when I searched for AK in the years 2022, 20223, 2024 there were no construction/refurbishment projects (outside of the yearly closure of Kali River Rapids) at AK during any of those years.

I don't think I've been at Disney any time during the last 25 years (10 trips) that there wasn't refurbishments going on during our visits. And some of those were major and actually spanned 2 trips (MK New Fantasyland, EP Future World). We still had great trips. If there's a specific ride that you don't want to miss on this trip and you can see it's going to be closed while you're there, then go ahead and change your dates. If you're trying to pick a time where there will be no ride refurbishments or construction going on, it's not going to happen.
