Tiana’s Bayou Adventure at Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom is scheduled to close for refurbishment beginning Monday, Nov. 2, 2026, according to the My Disney Experience app.
Sunday, Nov. 1, is currently listed as the final day to ride before the closure. The attraction is expected to return Dec. 18, following an outage that spans all of November and the first half of December. During that period, it will not be available through either the standby line or Lightning Lane.
Disney has characterized the work as scheduled maintenance and has not detailed the scope of the refurbishment. Disney Fanatic reported that some show elements have recently been restored ahead of the closure, including Lari the armadillo figure in the finale and the attraction’s jumping-water effect.
The ride’s exit shop, Tiana’s Bayou General, is also expected to close during the attraction’s downtime. Critter Co-Op, a nearby standalone merchandise location, is slated to remain open.
