Kali River Rapids Reopening Date

People enjoy a circular water ride at an amusement park, surrounded by themed decorations and barrels. Others in similar rafts can be seen in the background, adding to the festive atmosphere—a perfect snapshot for your daily recap of adventure.

According to the calendar on the Walt Disney World website, the water raft ride will resume operations on March 14, 2025. It closed on January 6.

Being a water ride, this attraction usually closes in January — after the busy holidays and while the weather is cold — for standard maintenance.

This family raft ride is in the Asia section of Disney’s Animal Kingdom. It takes guests on a spinning circular raft through fast-moving rapids, eventually plummeting down a 20-foot slope. There are lockers available for personal items guests don’t want to get wet.
