Splash Mountin closing for short refurbishemnt in early 2016

These dates come direct from Disney and are subject to change. This is one of many newly published refurbishments and I want to get the information out there for all planning their trips.

Splash Mountain will be closed from January 6-10, 2016.

In a semi related closure, the Briar Patch store will be closed September 21-24, 2015.

Splash is usually closed for a longer period of time during this time of the year, but these dates are official from Disney. They are however subject to change. Take it with a grain of salt.

does anyone know how the splash mountain refurb went or what was even done in the 5 days it was down?

It goes down every year this time. Probably routine maintenance that can't be done overnight.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe they drain it around this time every year.

Nothing fancy. It always goes down around this time of year for the yearly maintenance items including draining the whole ride, checking systems, repairing things, quick updates, etc... All rides at some point or another go down for small time like this through out the year. Many tend to happen during less crowd times.

Isn't it usually longer than 5 days? Like usually 3-4 weeks? This just seems pretty short for the annual shut down.

It was quite short. It'll probably be in shabby shape by August and require another three-monther in 2017.
