Disneyland closes 3 attractions as busy summer season starts
Disneyland will close three attractions for seasonal refurbishments during the busy start to the summer season when kids get out of school and families head out on vacation to the Anaheim theme parks.
Soarin’ Over California, Pixie Hollow and “Fantasmic” will temporarily close in June for standard refurbishments or as part of seasonal schedules at Disneyland and Disney California Adventure.
The three new attraction closures join Pirates of the Caribbean, Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters, Silly Symphony Swings and Inside Out Emotional Whirlwind that were already shuttered for refurbishment.

Soarin’ Over California will end its seasonal run on June 30 after returning during Disney California Adventure’s Food & Wine Festival. Soarin’ will be closed on July 1 so a new patriotic-themed film can be installed on the flight simulator ride in time for the 250th anniversary of the United States. Soarin’ Across America begins a limited time run at Disney California Adventure on July 2.
