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.
Sunday at Magic Kingdom, in peak Florida summer with schools still out. Trimmed a point — this is the same day-of-week that missed low yesterday (predicted 7, actual 4), so tempering the Sunday baseline specifically.
