Get ready for some exciting news, Disney fans! One of Disney California Adventure's beloved attractions is temporarily closing its doors, but don't worry—it's all for a good cause. Disney has officially announced the reopening date for Jumpin’ Jellyfish, the whimsical parachute-style ride nestled in Paradise Gardens Park. But here's the twist: the attraction will undergo a refurbishment starting late February, leaving many to wonder how this will affect their upcoming visits. And this is the part most people miss—while the ride is down, other popular attractions like Inside Out Emotional Whirlwind and Grizzly River Run will also be undergoing maintenance, making it a busy time for park updates.
According to Disneyland’s official calendar, Jumpin’ Jellyfish will close its doors on Monday, February 23, 2026, and is scheduled to reopen on Thursday, March 6, 2026. For those unfamiliar, this charming ride takes guests on a 90-second journey, bouncing them up and down a 40-foot-tall kelp bed in one of 12 jellyfish-themed vehicles. Fun fact: the ride’s name is inspired by an exclamation from Sebastian in The Little Mermaid—a delightful nod to Disney’s animated classic. Curious about the experience? You can check out our ride POV video below for a sneak peek.
Now, here’s where it gets interesting: While some fans might be disappointed by the closure, others argue that regular maintenance is essential to keep the magic alive. After all, who wants to ride a jellyfish that’s seen better days? But the real question is: Will this closure impact your plans to visit Disney California Adventure?

In the meantime, mark your calendars for the reopening of Inside Out Emotional Whirlwind on Friday, February 6, 2026, just a few weeks before Jumpin’ Jellyfish closes. And don’t forget, Grizzly River Run will also be closed during this period, so plan your visit accordingly.
