Welcome to planDisney, Christina! Your visit to the Disneyland Resort is rapidly approaching, and I’m happy to help you prepare for your next adventure to the Happiest Place on Earth.
Taking a thrilling bobsled ride down the icy peaks of the Matterhorn is a favorite activity of mine, so I’m also eagerly anticipating the return of this iconic mountain. I checked the
Daily Events Schedule to see if the Yeti will be welcoming guests during your visit. Unfortunately, it looks like the Matterhorn is still listed as closed for refurbishment as of July 20. Of course, refurbishment timelines can shift, so I recommend keeping an eye on the
Disney Parks Blog for the most up-to-date news about when this classic attraction will reopen.
Even though the Matterhorn Bobsleds may not be available during your visit, there are still plenty of ways to get your adrenaline fix! If racing through rugged mountain terrain is on your wish list,
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad is a fantastic alternative. Just be sure to keep your eye out for the goat. It’s a fan favorite for a reason! Over at Disney California Adventure,
Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: BREAKOUT! offers a thrilling experience inside the Collector’s Fortress. The ride queue is filled with fascinating (and a little bit eerie) artifacts the Collector has gathered over the years. Q-Tip: keep an eye out for a familiar face from the Matterhorn. Someone might have relocated!
In addition to the Disney Parks Blog, I also suggest downloading the
Disneyland app for real-time attraction information. Simply tap the “All Hours” link, choose your visit date, and scroll to the bottom of the page to see which attractions are scheduled to be closed. The app also updates in real time for temporary closures, making it a must-have planning tool for your Disney day.
Christina, I hope you have an amazing time at the Disneyland Resort. If you have any other questions or would like more tips, please visit us again at planDisney!
Have a magical time!
