    Hello! We are big fans of Big Thunder and are planning a Disneyland trip for the beginning of December. Will it be open or is there a planned refurbishment happening? Thank you.

    Howdy, Joan! Welcome to planDisney

    I'm thrilled about your upcoming trip to the Disneyland Resort! You'll be visiting during the Holiday season, the most magical time of the year. The wintry decorations, themed entertainment, and specialty food and drinks are some of my favorites. For more information about the Holidays, check out the Disney Parks Blog.

    As a fellow fan of Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, I completely understand your concern. As of today, we don't know if it will be closed for refurbishment because the Hours & Events Calendar is not yet available for the dates of your trip. It should be updated around the end of October. This calendar includes important information such as park hours, entertainment showtimes, and the refurbishment schedule. The Hours & Events Calendar is available online and through the Disneyland App. Be sure to keep an eye on the calendar as your arrival date approaches. 

    Speaking of attractions, did you know Tiana's Bayou Adventure will be open during your visit? This highly anticipated attraction will be a musical journey...where you may get wet! Stay tuned to the Disney Parks Blog for all the details.

    Joan, I hope this information is helpful to you. And I hope you get to experience "The Wildest Ride in the Wilderness." See you real soon! 

    Your Pal,
    Alejandra
