Summer 2026 brings several ride refurbishments to Disneyland and Disney California Adventure, though major closures are limited compared to other seasons. The Matterhorn Bobsleds will close briefly from July 19-24 for routine maintenance, while Pixar Pier attractions continue their scheduled downtimes. Inside Out Emotional Whirlwind remains closed indefinitely after a prolonged refurbishment period, with no official reopening date yet announced. Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters recently reopened after nearly two months of closure and may undergo further modernization soon. Construction on the Eastern Gateway parking structure is progressing ahead of schedule, with demolition beginning in June 2026. Autopia will close in 2027 to replace gas-powered vehicles with electric ones as part of environmental initiatives. Haunted Mansion and it’s a small world will undergo seasonal refurbishments for Halloween and Christmas overlays later this year. Park attendance remains moderate following the expiration of a popular summer ticket deal, potentially allowing for additional last-minute ride closures.
