This bad news will make more than one Disneyland Paris fan scream.
A wave of discontent is being felt in Mickey country. For several months, the unmissable Marne-la-Vallée park opened in 1992 has begun to feel the weight of the years and to show it! The park thus has the unfortunate tendency to increase the number of closures of its attractions to carry out work, like the Walt Disney Studios under construction to accommodate the new area dedicated to Frozen or the entrance to Disneyland Paris, for a long time disrupted by the work on the Disneyland Hotel… However, during this time, entry prices have not decreased, quite the contrary!
Soon, a new attraction will be preparing to close its doors. This is an iconic thrill ride at Disneyland Park. On Sunday January 5, 2025, it will welcome its last visitors, before a rehabilitation lasting a minimum of 6 months, provided that the work goes off without a hitch… Enough to make the visitors who will go to the park cringe first half of 2025.
Say goodbye to Big Thunder Mountain! It is a legendary roller coaster that propels visitors into the heart of a ghost mining town through dizzying climbs, along a path lined with dynamite or under the Rivers of the Wild West. Since the opening of Disneyland Paris (then EuroDisney), it has been well known and appreciated by visitors who very often nickname it “The Mine Train”.
The month of January will be a real black spot on the 2025 calendar because in addition to the latter, another flagship attraction of Disneyland, which had experienced a closure of 18 month in the past between the end of 2021 and half of the year 2023will close its doors again on January 20, 2025. This is essential entertainment for young and old It’s a Small Worldfamous for his hymn to peace sung by thousands of dolls from all over the world that stay in your head for a long time. And to drive the point home, its reopening date is not for the moment not indicated on the official Disneyland Paris website which confirms this closure, like that of Big Thunder Mountain.
And that’s not all. By searching the Disneyland Paris website, we can see other closures in the 2025 calendar. Also note these early year closures on more modest attractions: The Land of Fairy Tales/Casey Jr from January 6 to 10 , Aladdin’s Enchanted Passage from January 6 to 17… And in February, Star Tours: The Adventure Continues at Discoveryland, which closes its doors on Monday February 3 until the end of the month, with an exact reopening date still not communicated…
If you are planning a stay in 2025 at Disneyland Paris, wait, if you can, until the end of August. At least the weather will – no doubt – be nice and the crowds will be less crowded. You will come across fewer work signs than attractions…
