Walt Disney World Rides Closed Unexpectedly

A storm is passing over parts of Walt Disney World, and outdoor attractions do often close due to bad weather. However, many attractions that are currently closed would usually operate during storms, including indoor movies like the Disney and Pixar Short Film Festival.

The closures may be due to a power surge or similar technical issue. Disney has not issued a statement about the closures. Stay tuned to WDWNT for the latest updates.

UPDATES: As of 5:40 p.m., the list of non-operational attractions remains at nearly 30 across all four parks. A few attractions have reopened, such as Expedition Everest and Canada Far and Wide.

As of 6:50 p.m., the list of temporarily closed attractions has been reduced to roughly 15, still including Frozen Ever After, Mission: SPACE, Slinky Dog Dash, Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, and more.
