Test track will be down when we go at the end of May. My kids are so sad that both of their favorite rides will be down, test track and BTMRR. At least BTMRR will hopefully be coming back up at the end of our trip. They need to stagger the closures, those are 2 very big rides and for them to be down at the same time is crazy!

Some of Fantasyland is already open - one of the two Dumbo rides, The Great Goofini (formerly Goofy's Barnstormer), and the new Fantasyland train station. We don't expect to see anything else open for a while.

We love Test Track -- and the line. So much to look at and Hidden Mickeys too.

I'm trying to wrap my brain around the "design your car" feature I read about.

Test Track Refurb according to WDW site

I was just checking park hours on the WDW website for our upcoming trip, and it said Test Track would be down for refurbishment from June 1 thru July 31. I was happy to see it'll be after our trip!

I would be very suspect of this. If they only close it for 2 months I can't imagine it will be the upgrade they have everyone thinking it will be. I am taking the wait and see approach for sure!

Today is April 15th. Does anyone know if it has closed? I hope the June to July date would be the case but I think I expect it more to be much longer closure.(IMHO)

I don't know, but several Disney related blogs that I follow on Facebook have all said that today was the last day of TT being open. Considering the changes that I've heard happening to the ride, a closure of just a couple of months (June-July) just doesn't seem feasible.
