A popular ride might be closed for longer than we expected in Disney World!
Expedition Everest
Expedition Everest has been closed for refurbishment in Animal Kingdom since early January of this year, and was supposed to re-open in mid-April. We’ve seen some ride testing happening at the attraction over the past few months, but Disney hasn’t revealed an official reopening date. Now, we might be waiting even longer for the ride to return.
Previously, Disney World’s website noted that Expedition Everest would be reopening in mid-April of 2022.

Now, that language has been removed from the website. Instead, it just says that the ride is “currently closed for refurbishment.”

Expedition Everest is on the refurbishment calendar through the month of April, but not in May, so it is possible that the ride could be opening in May now.

When we talked to a Cast Member in Animal Kingdom recently, they told us the ride could possibly reopen in 2 weeks and that it had been undergoing a software update.
