It is never fun to see an attraction close at Disney World, especially when it is forever. At all of the Disney theme parks, attractions tend to close all of the time. Take Walt Disney World Resort, for example; today alone, there are over 20 ride closures, including Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, Big Thunder Mountain, Kali River Rapids, Spaceship Earth, Slinky Dog Dash, Pirates of the Caribbean, and more. While none of these closures were planned, they all occurred all the same.

While shoppers have grown accustomed to seeing Halloween decorations in stores in August, theme parks are now jumping on the spooky bandwagon earlier than ever.

The major theme park operators are pushing their holiday-themed attractions in an attempt to boost slumping attendance, which has dropped off after steep post-pandemic demand as inflation-hit consumers pull back on spending.
