Disneyland will close four attractions for seasonal refurbishments during the relatively slow period between the end of spring break and the start of summer at the Anaheim theme parks.
Pirates of the Caribbean, Sailing Ship Columbia, Pixie Hollow and “Fantasmic” will temporarily close in May as part of the standard refurbishment schedule at Disneyland and Disney California Adventure.
The four new attraction closures join the Disneyland Monorail, Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters, Roger Rabbit’s Car Toon Spin, Silly Symphony Swings, Inside Out Emotional Whirlwind, Davy Crockett’s Explorer Canoes and Pirate’s Lair on Tom Sawyer Island that were already shuttered for refurbishment.
