Disneyland closes six rides for refurbishment in April 2026, including Toy Story Midway Mania

Disneyland Resort has shuttered or will soon close six popular attractions for refurbishment during April 2026, with Toy Story Midway Mania! now closed as of April 6 and no reopening dates announced for most. The closures impact rides across Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park, such as Jungle Cruise and Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters. Visitors should monitor resort updates for the latest.

Disneyland Resort's April 2026 refurbishments have led to the closure of several key attractions, starting as early as February and continuing through the month. Toy Story Midway Mania! at Disney California Adventure Park's Pixar Pier closed on April 6 for an indefinite refurbishment, as first announced in February. No specific changes have been detailed, though the interactive digital shooter received Disneyland 70th anniversary updates last year, including new targets and graphics that are expected to remain and run through August 9, 2026.

Other closures include:
- Jungle Cruise in Adventureland, down since February 17 for routine maintenance, with no reopening info available.
- Disneyland Monorail and Roger Rabbit’s Car Toon Spin, both stopped on March 30 for infrastructure work like support pillars and electrical systems. The Monorail's Tomorrowland entrance is inaccessible, but the 2.5-mile route sees no visible alterations. Roger Rabbit’s prior 2021 storyline updates toned down Jessica Rabbit's portrayal.
- Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters in Tomorrowland, set to close April 13 with no update details shared—unlike the extensive overhaul at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom.
- Silly Symphony Swings, pausing April 27.

At Walt Disney World, Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin reopens April 8 at Magic Kingdom after closing in August 2025. Updates include new ride vehicles, more accurate handheld blasters, upgraded targets, and a new audio-animatronic robot named Buddy. Recent soft openings and invite-only runs have tested these enhancements.

No reopening timelines have been provided for Disneyland Resort's attractions, requiring guests to adjust plans accordingly.
