Refurbishments are a part of life at Disney theme parks around the world. It’s not uncommon for at least one attraction to be closed at any given time. Sometimes even restaurants close!

Refurbishments may take place for various reasons. Whether it be for mechanical issues or cosmetic updates, a refurbishment is needed to ensure the best experience for Guests. Based on the nature of the work, the refurbishment may be a few days or several months.

You can see our master list of Disney World refurbishments HERE. However, the next scheduled refurbishment takes place somewhere else.

Cars Land

Disney’s California Adventure is home to Cars Land. This themed area is a big hit for Guests of all ages. It opened in 2012 and is home to shops, restaurants, and three attractions. The main attraction is Radiator Springs Racers, which is similar to Test Track at Epcot.

Unfortunately, this ride is closing for refurbishment. This will for sure be disappointing to Guests whose travel plans overlap with the closure. It is a very popular attraction, and wait times can be quite high.

The best way to ride is to either rope drop or purchase an Individual Lightning Lane. However, you will not be able to ride it at all from February 26 to February 29. It will reopen on March 1. While this is a short refurbishment, oftentimes visitors only spend a couple days in the park.
