4 Disneyland Rides to Resume Full Schedule

Buried in bitter complaints, Disneyland said Tuesday that four major attractions it had been shutting down early will instead stay open until the park closes.

Old favorites Haunted Mansion and Pirates of the Caribbean, plus Tomorrowland newcomer Innoventions, will remain open until 8 p.m. Monday through Thursday, rather than shut down at 7 p.m., park officials said. Jungle Cruise, which had been closing at 6 p.m., also will stay open until 8.

“They are the ones that were on the priority list for guests,” said park spokesman Ray Gomez.

The four were among more than 20 attractions that the park began closing early or opening late over the weekend. Other changes, including closing Mickey’s Toontown two hours before the park closes and opening Big Thunder Mountain Railroad one hour late, remain in effect.

The park didn’t announce its change in policy, but news of the early closures leaked out last week. Phone calls and letters of protest began flooding Disneyland, along with negative comment cards.
