Disneyland closes Pirate’s Lair on Tom Sawyer Island for refurbishment

Disneyland Resort has closed Pirate’s Lair on Tom Sawyer Island for refurbishment, effective September 14. This marks the second time the attraction has closed for maintenance in 2026, following a brief, unannounced closure in April.

Disneyland Park currently holds the distinction of being the only Disney theme park in the United States to host a version of Tom Sawyer Island. The attraction at Walt Disney World Resort was permanently closed in 2025 to facilitate the construction of Piston Peak National Park, a Cars-themed land in Frontierland.

While Disneyland has not provided specific details regarding the nature of the refurbishment, the attraction's website currently lists operating hours for September 17, suggesting a potential reopening later this week, though guests are advised to check for updates.
