What ride is being cancelled at Disneyland?

Magic Kingdom's Splash Mountain creatures sang their last notes in January of 2023, and Disneyland's on May 31, 2023. Now, the ride has closed its doors forever. The brand new ride replacing it, Tiana's Bayou Adventure, is inspired by Tiana, the radiant star of the 2009 animated hit The Princess and the Frog.



In the context of "cancelled" or permanently closed attractions in 2025 and 2026, the most significant change at Disneyland Park in California is the closure of the Splash Mountain area to make way for Tiana's Bayou Adventure, which officially opened in late 2024. Additionally, at Disney California Adventure, the Pacific Wharf area was rethemed to San Fransokyo Square. While not "cancelled" in a controversial social sense, many fans use the term to describe attractions that are being removed for expansion. For example, rumors often circulate about the future of the Tomorrowland area, including the long-dormant PeopleMover tracks and the Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage, as Disney explores new "Avatar" and "Marvel" themed land expansions. It is also worth noting that many shows and parades are frequently retired or "cancelled" at the end of seasonal celebrations. To stay updated, it is best to check the "Scheduled Refurbishments" list on the official Disneyland website, as this provides a factual look at what is temporarily closed versus what has been permanently removed from the park's roster.
