A Full List of Disney World Rides Closed for Refurbishment in December 2024

Disney World rides seem to be shutting down for refurbishment left and right.

Magic Kingdom

We want to make sure you are prepared for your upcoming vacation, so here’s a look at what attractions will be closed in December 2024.

Swiss Family Treehouse

The Swiss Family Treehouse over in Adventureland will be closed for refurbishment from November 18th through December 23rd.

Swiss Family Treehouse

Inspired by the classic 1960 Disney film The Swiss Family Robinson, this is a walk-through attraction that features a 6-story-high treehouse. Once you make it to the top, you get a spectacular view of Adventureland from above. Thankfully the closure is only a month long, but keep this in mind in case your trip brings you to Magic Kingdom on those dates.

That’s not the only attraction that will be closed in December, however.
