Disney World 2025: Dumbo Playground Closure & Magic Kingdom Refurbishments. Walt Disney World is undertaking extensive refurbishments in 2025, with the Dumbo the Flying Elephant playground being the latest addition. The playground will close on February 24, 2025, for a months-long refresh, reopening in Spring 2025. This joins a growing list of closures, including Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, Astro Orbiter, and the Hall of Presidents, all set to return later in 2025.
Parents take note: that the air-conditioned sanctuary at Magic Kingdom, the Dumbo the Flying Elephant playground, is closing for a significant refurbishment. Originally set for January, the closure is now scheduled for February 24, 2025. While the kids won’t be able to burn energy indoors, the Dumbo ride itself will remain open during the playground’s closure.
From the Walt Disney World Website: The indoor children’s playground in the Dumbo the Flying Elephant queue will close for refurbishment on February 24, 2025, and is expected to reopen in Spring 2025. The attraction will remain open and available during this time.
An “Ear”-born Adventure: Based on the 1941 Disney animated masterpiece Dumbo, this classic attraction lets you hop atop everybody’s favorite circus elephant as he discovers he can fly. Dumbo’s faithful friend Timothy Q. Mouse helps keeps you aloft with his “magic” feather. As the jubilant organ melody begins, lift off for a graceful cruise around (and around and around) Storybook Circus.
Fly High or Stay Low: You can adjust your altitude during your flight so that you can soar high or swoop low.
Play While You Wait: Before your flight, step into the big-top tent and let your wild animals frolic in an air-conditioned children’s playground for all ages. You’ll be alerted when it’s time to board your flight!
