Disney World rides, restaurants closed, refurbishments in September 2021

The month before the Walt Disney World’s 50th anniversary celebration kicks off there are only a handful of attractions, dining locations and shops left to reopen.

The largest number of shops that are closed are in EPCOT and the reasoning is that most of of the shops that in EPCOT are usually manned by those participating in the international program, but that program has not reopened during the pandemic.

Here’s a closer look at what’s still closed and a few areas closed for refurbishment. Don’t forget to check the Walt Disney World site for the latest updates.
