Disneyland Resort fans take note: the colorful Jumpin’ Jellyfish parachute ride in Paradise Gardens Park at Disney California Adventure will temporarily go dark. Disney announced that Jumpin’ Jellyfish closes on Monday, Feb 23, 2026, with the last day to ride being Sunday, Feb 22. This classic kiddie ride launches guests 40 feet up in a jellyfish-shaped bucket and gently bounces them up and down – it’s a perfect gentle thrill for little ones.

Why the closure? Disney says the ride will undergo refurbishment and maintenance to keep it running smoothly, though no reopening date has been set. Until then, park hours calendars show no available times for Jumpin’ Jellyfish after Feb 22. (This appears to be routine upkeep; Disney has not announced any permanent changes.) Guests hoping to catch one more ride should plan a visit before the shutdown. Meanwhile, nearby attractions like Inside Out Emotional Whirlwind will reopen Feb 6, and Grizzly River Run is also on hiatus at that time.

We know this little carnival‐style ride is a family favorite, so it’s understandable if guests feel a bit disappointed. On the bright side, a freshly refurbished ride will be even better when it returns! Keep an eye on official Disneyland park calendars for the reopening notice. Until then, enjoy the rest of California Adventure’s fun offerings and know that Jumpin’ Jellyfish will be back, sparkling and ready to bounce again.

Until next time, keep believing in magic. — Behind the Wish
