Splash Mountain Referbusiment!

On another site (WDWMagic) they posted that Splash Mountain will be having it's annual refurbishment in January 2010. The refurb begins on January 3 2010, and will remain closed until February 27 2010, reopening on the 28th. As always, these dates could shift, but this is the current plan.

This stinks for me as I will be there the 7-10.

Re: Splash Mountain Referbusiment!

In my opinion Splash Mountain could always use a referb, my question is why so long?

oh for Pete's sake, you're talking about Space Mountain, we're talking about Splash Mountain. Phewwww, I am glad you got that wrong. I couldn't bear to go and not be able to ride Splash Mountain
