Disneyland’s Star Wars, Haunted Mansion to Close for 2026 Renovations
Disneyland is preparing for significant renovations that will impact some of its most beloved attractions in early 2026. Families planning a visit to the park should be aware of these changes to avoid disappointment.
Upcoming Closures at Disneyland
Starting January 20, 2026, the highly regarded attraction, Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, will undergo maintenance. This popular ride, part of Galaxy’s Edge, is considered a highlight at the park. While there is no official reopening date yet, sources suggest it may reopen just before the busy President’s Day weekend in mid-February.
Additional Attractions Affected
Several other rides and facilities will also close during this renovation period:
- Haunted Mansion: Closing on January 12 for approximately two weeks to remove its “Nightmare Before Christmas” overlay.
- Incredicoaster: Scheduled for refurbishment beginning January 5, as part of maintenance at Pixar Pier.
- Emotional Whirlwind: Also undergoing maintenance, starting on January 5.
- Lamplight Lounge: One of the resort’s top dining options will be closed for a refresh beginning January 12.
- Grizzly River Run: This water ride will enter its annual winter closure on January 5.
Impact of Renovations
The timing of these closures coincides with Disneyland’s recent ticket promotions, which have reduced prices to attract visitors during the traditionally slower season. The closures may disappoint many families looking forward to experiencing these attractions.
As renovation season approaches, guests are encouraged to check the latest updates on attraction availability to ensure a magical visit to the happiest place on earth.
