After all, the attraction only recently underwent refurbishment in spring 2024, leaving many to wonder: What’s happening this time?But before jumping to conclusions, let’s take a closer look at what we know, what to expect, and why this closure might mean something exciting for Mickey and Minnie fans around the world.Credit: gardener41, FlickrWhat’s New: Disney Confirms Temporary RefurbishmentAccording to Disney, Vacation Fun will be “temporarily closed for refurbishment” starting October 20, with a reopening planned later this year—though no exact date has been announced. The company hasn’t shared details about the scope of the work or whether any changes are planned for the film or the theater itself.For those unfamiliar, Vacation Fun offers a compilation of Mickey Mouse animated shorts presented in the modern art style used in Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway. The show lasts about 10 minutes and features quick, laugh-out-loud adventures that capture the chaotic charm of Disney’s most iconic duo. Afterward, guests can snap pictures in themed photo areas inspired by the same shorts—perfect for families, kids, and Disney photography enthusiasts.While it may seem like a small attraction, its consistent crowds and prime location make it a surprising standout in Hollywood Studios’ lineup—especially for guests looking to escape the Florida heat.Credit: Patrick McGarvey, FlickrHow to Experience It Before It ClosesIf your trip to Walt Disney World falls before October 20, don’t skip this stop. Lines are short, the air conditioning is blissful, and it’s an ideal way to relax between major attractions.
