Walt Disney's Carousel of Progress — Refurbishment
Walt Disney's Carousel of Progress is temporarily closed for refurbishment beginning July 6, 2026, to add a new introductory scene featuring an animatronic Walt Disney. Reopening is expected sometime in 2027; no specific date has been confirmed.
Tuesday at Magic Kingdom, in peak Florida summer with schools still out. MK's actuals have swung both directions over the past two weeks with no consistent bias, so holding the established weekday baseline rather than reacting to any single day.
