Indiana Jones Adventure finally has a reopening date. The Adventureland ride at Disneyland Park is set to return on Friday, October 23, ending a refurbishment that began September 8 with no end date posted.
The new date showed up on Disneyland’s refurbishment calendar on October 15, which now lists the closure running through October 22. Disney had not posted an end date before that, which left anyone with a late October trip guessing. Theme Park IQ flagged the October 23 date the same day, with the usual caveat that dates are subject to change.
What It Means For Your Trip
If you are visiting Disneyland between now and October 22, plan around it, because that covers the rest of this week and most of next week. The official attraction page still says Indiana Jones Adventure is currently closed for refurbishment and shows no times. From October 23 on, it should be back in your touring plan, with Lightning Lane access listed on its page, assuming the date holds.
If you have little ones in the group, measure before you go. Riders must be at least 46 inches tall, and guests using wheelchairs need to transfer to a ride vehicle. The ride throws plenty of jolts at you in the dark, so it is worth a quick talk with kids who are right at the height limit before you get in line.
It is a busy stretch for reopenings at Disneyland Park. Indy comes back a week after Mad Tea Party reopens on October 16 after a monthlong refurbishment, so two rides that closed in September will both be running again before Halloween.
Disney has not said what work was done during this closure. Whatever changed, the ride’s Temple of the Forbidden Eye story is not going anywhere. Riders board a troop transport for a bumpy trip through the temple of the deity Mara, across a swaying rope bridge and away from a giant rolling boulder.
More Closures On The Calendar
Indiana Jones Adventure is not the only thing to watch on Disneyland’s calendar. “it’s a small world” is listed as closed for refurbishment from October 30 through November 12, ahead of “it’s a small world” Holiday opening on November 13. Over at Disney California Adventure, Luigi’s Joy to the Whirl and Mater’s Jingle Jamboree take over from Luigi’s Rollickin’ Roadsters and Mater’s Junkyard Jamboree that same day.
Refurbishment dates move around, sometimes on short notice, so check the Disneyland app or the attraction’s page on the official site the morning you go. If the date holds, Indy is back in Adventureland in about a week.
