Splash Mountain Closure at Magic Kingdom Confirmed for January/February 2010

Posted on Leave a comment

After a couple of initial reports of a closure for an extended closure of Splash Mountain 2010, I have followed up on the request of a Stitch Kingdom reader and am sad to report that the attraction is in fact listed on at least one official Disney source as being scheduled for closure from January 3 through February 27, 2010. ReSearch has been updated to reflect this and subscribers affected by this change have been notified.

WDW Refurbs Update: Ketchakiddee Creek Closed in December

Posted on Leave a comment

I’ve been holding on to this one for several days because while Typhoon Lagoon is scheduled to be closed in November, this is the only attraction for the park listed in December, so I’m just going to go with it until I learn otherwise.

With that in mind, Ketchakiddee Creek is scheduled to be closed all of December.
