    We would like to visit WDW on 1/3/2026 for my daughter’s 15th birthday. Will Rock-N- roller coaster still be open?

    Hey There, Hi There, Ho There, Ashley!

    Welcome to planDisney! We are THRILLED you stopped by and are honored to help you plan your upcoming trip to Disney World! Get ready for an adventure filled with MAGIC, laughter, and memories that will sparkle long after you return home. From awesome attractions to unforgettable dining and everything in between, there’s truly no place like it. And with your daughter’s birthday celebration in the mix, this vacation is about to be extra special!

    AND...Hollywood Studios is the perfect place to celebrate a birthday! That’s pure awesomeness waiting to happen! Be sure to stop by your Disney resort front desk or Guest Relations to pick up a birthday button for her. It’s such a fun little piece of pixie dust, and you will be amazed at how many Cast Members, characters, and even other guests join in on the birthday cheer. She’ll feel like the star of the show all day long!

    Now, let’s talk about Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster. It’s undergoing quite a transformation! Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster starring Aerosmith is expected to close in 2026 and reopen later in 2026 with its brand-new Muppets theming. However, Mickey has not released any specific dates or time frames at this time. That means there’s still a bit of mystery in the air about when the change will officially happen. With that being said, I am wishing upon a star that you will be able to take one more wild limo ride through the streets of L.A. with Aerosmith before the big switch!

    When it reopens, get ready for a whole new spin—literally! The Electric Mayhem Band (you know, Dr. Teeth, Animal, and the gang) will be taking center stage, bringing their musical chaos and humor to this high-speed adventure. You can expect plenty of laughs, bright colors, and that signature Muppets charm, all wrapped up in one thrilling coaster experience.

    As you continue to plan, be sure to check out the Disney Parks Blog for the most up-to-date information on all things Disney. Mickey and his pals have some incredible surprises planned, and we don't want you to miss any of the FUN!

    If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask. We are here to help in any way!

    Have a MAGICAL day!
