This summer, Disneyland will temporarily shut down a number of its most well-known attractions as the California theme park undertakes renovations.
A Disneyland representative told Travel + Leisure that the three rides Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride, Peter Pan’s Flight, and Alice in Wonderland will be shutting down. On June 5, all of the rides will close, and visitors are urged to ‘check back for updates’. The precise date of their reopening is not yet known.

These attractions are found in Fantasyland, a section of the original Disneyland Park that also houses It’s a Small World and Dumbo the Flying Elephant as well as other beloved rides. The park’s original opening day rides from 1955, Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride and Peter Pan’s Flight, are still in operation.
Of course, they have since been upgraded with fresh visual effects, and in 1983, Toad Hall was added to the original façade of Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride.
In the park, the Alice in Wonderland ride debuted for the first time in 1958. It also underwent restorations, with new lighting and special effects added in 2014, replacing the original painted cut-outs with 3D characters in 1984.

What will alter as a result of the renovations was unclear.
Along with the traditional rides, The Little Mermaid: Ariel’s Undersea Adventure is also scheduled to close on June 5 for renovations. In Disney’s California Adventure Park, that ride can be found.
Disney does occasionally shut down attractions, such as the Matterhorn Bobsleds, which will return at the beginning of June.
On May 31, Splash Mountain at Disneyland will likewise close while undergoing a thorough refurbishment to become Tiana’s Bayou Adventure. Similar to this, the Florida theme park Walt Disney World closed the attraction in January. Disneyland anticipates opening the rollercoaster in the latter half of 2024.
