Walt Disney World has announced the reopening date for Kali River Rapids, which closed early for its annual refurbishment.
Kali River Rapids Reopening
Kali River Rapids will reopen on December 12, 2025, the attraction webpage states. Hours aren’t listed for that date yet.
The water ride usually closes in January, after the holiday season, and reopens in spring. This time, it closed in October so it will still be open when DINOSAUR closes permanently in February.
Skim across an erupting geyser, drift below a canopy of lush vegetation and be whisked along fast-moving rapids. Graze gushing waterfalls and bedrock amid the raging current. Then, as the harmony of nature is disrupted, you’ll plummet down a dramatic 20-foot slope!
Guests will get wet, so lockers for mobile devices and other items are located across from the entrance to Kali River Rapids and are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
