If It’s a Small World has been on your Disneyland must-do list this winter, you may want to pause before making plans—especially if you’re visiting in late January or early February.
Starting January 26, the ride closed, with Disneyland’s official calendar listing it as “temporarily unavailable.” Late January is when Disneyland typically pulls rides offline to remove holiday overlays and take care of routine maintenance, and it’s a small world is one of the most seasonal attractions in the park. While its holiday version usually sticks around a bit longer than others, a late-January closure is still well within the norm.
Disney hasn’t posted a reopening date, but while some fan sites have suggested a closure of just a few weeks, Theme Park Insiderrecently reported that the downtime appears to extend through at least March based on current availability. That’s not an official return window—and Disney hasn’t confirmed anything—but if your trip hinges on riding it’s a small world, it’s worth adjusting expectations.

Most recently, the attraction underwent a longer closure from January to May 2025, when Disney refreshed the façade, updated lighting, and added characters from Coco to the Mexico scene, along with a new verse for Disneyland’s 70th anniversary. Earlier overhauls, including a major rebuild in 2008–2009, show that Disney does periodically take the ride down for more than just cosmetic tweaks.
Because it’s a small world has been a Disneyland staple since 1966, its absence tends to feel bigger than most ride closures. For families with young kids, first-time visitors or anyone who considers that gentle boat ride a non-negotiable part of a park day, it’s one of those attractions people plan around.

The timing also coincides with a broader wave of winter refurbishments. As of January 26, other attractions listed as temporarily unavailable include Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, Oga’s Cantina and the Sailing Ship Columbia—a reminder that this is the quieter season when Disneyland does a lot of behind-the-scenes work.
For visitors, the main takeaway is that it’s a small world is closed with no confirmed reopening date. If it was high on your Disneyland bucket list this trip, you may want to keep checking the park calendar—or save it for a visit when those familiar doors are open again.
