Ok. Agreed but Tiana, Pirates and Space are also listed with no times available. The website is showing a lot of attractions with no times available right now. Might be DL website problem.

Wow that's a lot, I hope they're just having issues right now. I've been specifically checking Peter Pan and Matterhorn because I've heard they may be going down soon but I doubt they'd have all of those down at once.

I think they are having issues....when I tried to access opening times for several attractions...website was showing error message we are working on it.

I've been much quieter on these boards the past few months because of work, life, and trying to wrap my head around a short trip to WDW in March (I think you need a masters degree to understand it all)!

Is Redwood Creek closing for yet another multi month refurb? What is going on over there after the extensive refurb last year?

I have no idea what Redwood Creek's refurb is about. It has been refurbed so much in the past few years.

Just saw this - IASW is still going to be down in March most likely?! Bummer.

Seems like they did nothing during most of the recent refurbs. I’m thinking it’s just a temporarily closure (so they don’t have to staff and maintain it) dressed up as a refurb.

I've heard rumors Indy might be getting some more love as well, so it could go down before the 70th as well but we will see

Lots of rumors but we’re almost in February. Crowds typically pick uo late next month during spring break kick off. Hard to imagine all these rumors will come to fruitarian, given the number of ongoing projects.

It is...and isn't

Disney last year had lots of rides down in the summer...so I just don't think they care much. If people are willing to pay they will keep this up because why not...money talks

I can recall only the Canoes and Winnie The Poo being closed last summer. Poo was an extended closure due to Tiana’s construction. Not sure why the closed the Canoes down during peak summer. I haven’t experienced that attraction since the 1990s. Frankly I’m surprised they haven’t shuttered it, like WDW did theee decades ago.

Space Mountain closed in August. The OCR reported the early refurb was due to the number of attractions going down in September (long term) So maybe Disney does care.

The train and monorail didn’t go down until after the summer. Good call on Lincoln and Haunted Mansion, but those are long term projects not routine refurbs.

The monorail is showing as open on March 6th. Nothing for the train yet though. Are you all having a hard time accessing the calendar? I keep getting the seven dwarfs "We're working on it" page when I try to access dates in March.

 

[Irish Duck]

I would expect the train to be down until April. Last track replacement took 3 months and I would expect the same this go around.

The App has the Monorail open on March 6th. I cannot the calendar for 3/6 on the DL website.

 

[james_disneyland]

That's interesting, on the Monorail page on the DL web site it shows open on March 6th at least for now.
