There’s finally some good news coming out of the refurbishment calendar! Two fan-favorite attractions now have official reopening dates.
After weeks of uncertainty and temporary closures, both Jungle Cruise and Toy Story Midway Mania now have a clearer return timeline, giving guests a much better idea of what to expect when planning their visits.
At the heart of Adventureland, the beloved Jungle Cruise at Disneyland Park has been undergoing refurbishment, and now we finally have a reopening window.
The classic boat ride, known for its pun-filled skippers and animatronic wildlife, is currently scheduled to reopen on April 24, 2026, following its temporary closure earlier this year.
While Disney hasn’t detailed every aspect of the work being done, refurbishments like this typically focus on mechanical upkeep, show scene maintenance, and behind-the-scenes improvements that help keep the experience running smoothly. When it reopens, you’ll be certain to expect the same signature humor and storytelling when it returns, just with a refreshed polish behind the scenes.
Over in Disney California Adventure, one of the resort’s most popular interactive attractions, Toy Story Midway Mania!, also has a confirmed reopening date.
After closing on April 6, 2026, for refurbishment, the ride is now scheduled to reopen on April 24, 2026, the same day as Jungle Cruise. That means guests will see both attractions return at roughly the same time — a welcome surprise for spring visitors.
This 4D shooting-style attraction, which sends guests through carnival-inspired games alongside Woody, Buzz, and Jessie, is a staple of Pixar Pier and one of the most consistently popular rides in the park.
Disneyland frequently schedules refurbishments in clusters, especially during lower crowd periods, to minimize long-term disruptions. This allows crews to complete necessary maintenance, update effects, and refresh ride systems more efficiently before the peak summer season begins.
In the case of Toy Story Midway Mania, the closure also comes after recent anniversary overlay updates, which may be transitioning out as the park prepares for future seasonal changes.
If you’re visiting Disneyland Resort in late April or early May, this update is a big one. The return of both Jungle Cruise and Toy Story Midway Mania on the same timeline means guests will regain access to two high-demand attractions just as spring crowds begin to transition into summer travel season.
However, if your trip falls earlier in April, you may still encounter closures — so it’s worth double-checking ride availability before finalizing park plans.
Refurbishment closures are never the most exciting part of planning a Disney trip, but they often lead to smoother, better-maintained experiences once attractions reopen.
With both Jungle Cruise and Toy Story Midway Mania set to return around April 24, Disneyland is heading into a strong reset point just ahead of the busy summer season, and guests will likely notice the benefits immediately.
We’ll continue tracking reopening timelines, refurbishment updates, and surprise schedule changes across Disneyland Resort.
