    Hello, Is there any update on the reopening of Big Thunder Mountain Railroad at Disneyland Resort. We have a family trip in November and wanted to know if theres a reopening day.

    Hi there, Nathalia. Thanks for taking the time to stop by planDisney with your question for us.

    Like you, my family and I are eagerly waiting for the reopening day of the “Wildest Ride in the Wilderness”! Big Thunder Mountain Railroad has been closed since early September and beloved fans are looking forward to riding this attraction again. 

    I usually check the Hours and Events Calendar prior to my visit to see which rides are scheduled to be closed for refurbishment. I took a quick peek at the calendar based on your indicated visit date (November 19, 2025) and at this time, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad is still scheduled to be closed. The current calendar goes through mid-December and it looks like Big Thunder Mountain Railroad will still be down for the count. Of course, this is subject to change and maybe some Disney magic may happen for the refurbishment to be done sooner. Since it’s still a few more weeks before your trip, I recommend checking the Hours and Events Calendar again as it gets closer to your visit. 

    If you have more trip-planning questions, Nathalia, please feel free to stop by planDisney again. 

    Sending you pixie dust,
    Kiki

Greetings! I have been fascinated by the magic of Disney since I was a little girl; now that I am a mother of two, I love watching my children experience Disney Parks through their own eyes. I am also surrounded by fellow Disney-loving nurse friends whom I enjoy quick adults-only Disneyland Resort escapes or Disney Cruise Line voyages with. Whether you are planning your once-in-a-lifetime family trip or a short adults-only getaway to the Happiest Place on Earth, I am here to help!
