Disneyland Closing 3 Popular Rides During peak of summer

 Soarin’ Around the World, Toy Story Midway Mania and the Disneyland Monorail will temporarily close for standard refurbishments in July

 

Disneyland is shuttering two of the most popular Disney California Adventure attractions along with a temperamental ride at the Anaheim theme park during the peak of summer for several weeks of seasonal refurbishment.

Soarin’ Around the World and Toy Story Midway Mania at DCA and the Monorail that ferries riders between Disneyland and Disney’s hotels will temporarily close for standard refurbishments in July.

Soarin’ Around the World will close July 5-14, according to the Disneyland website. The Disneyland Monorail will also close on July 5 while Toy Story Midway Mania will close July 17. 

 

Reopening dates for Midway Mania and the Monorail have not been set and both attractions will remain closed through at least Aug. 8, according to the Disneyland website.

Soarin’ and Midway Mania are among DCA’s most popular rides and part of Disney’s upcharge Genie+ line-cutting service. Both rides have clocked wait times over 3 hours — some of the longest wait times in DCA history, according to Thrill Data.

Disneyland is often forced to close the temperamental Monorail when it gets hot because the cabins have blowers but no air conditioning, according to MiceChat.

The closure of Midway Mania, Soarin’ and the Monorail in July comes on the heels of Disneyland closing three classic Fantasyland rides in June for general maintenance and upkeep.

Disneyland typically conducts seasonal refurbishments during the off-season between New Year’s Day and Spring Break. Weekslong refurbishments are less common between Memorial Day and Labor Day — the traditional summer vacation season.
