In addition to scheduled attraction refurbs, unscheduled downtime can also occur during a visit. This usually only occurs for a few hours at a time, so if you find an attraction is closed during your visit to Disneyland Resort and it's not listed below, it's likely a temporary closure that will last a few hours.

At Disneyland Resort in 2026, the duration of a "temporary closure" varies drastically depending on the cause. For mechanical breakdowns, most closures are brief, lasting anywhere from 15 minutes to 2 hours as maintenance teams "cycle" the ride and reset the sensors. If a closure is due to weather (specifically lightning or high winds for outdoor rides like Incredicoaster or Matterhorn Bobsleds), the ride will remain closed until 30 minutes after the last recorded lightning strike within a specific radius. If you see a ride listed as "Temporarily Closed" on the Disneyland app, it typically means it is a technical issue that they hope to resolve that same day. However, if a ride is listed as "Scheduled Refurbishment," these planned closures usually last between 2 weeks and 3 months for routine maintenance, or up to a year for major "reimagining" projects. For guests, the best strategy is to keep an eye on the app; once a "temporarily closed" ride reopens, it often has the shortest wait time of the day for the first 10 minutes, making it a great "pro-tip" for savvy park-goers.
