[Updated 8/19 with new information from Disney]
With all of the rumors flying about various and sundry new refurbishments, I had a friend pull the most recent published internal refurbishment calendar. The calendar provided to travel agents hasn't been updated in a while, and, as corona pointed out, the recorded refurbishment schedule is from January, 2013.
There is nothing on this schedule about the Big Thunder Mountain or Space Mountain refurbishments being extended, or Captain EO or Radiator Springs Racers being added to the schedule. That DOES NOT mean the rumors aren't true, but that the dates haven't been finalized or made official internally yet.
We update the refurbishment schedule every week in the Disneyland Resort Update, so keep watching that for news as we get more information. For now, here's the internal confirmed schedule. Items that are new to me since the last Update are in red:
Update:
Captain EO closed 9/11 – November 20
Space Mountain closed November 4 (Ghost Galaxy overlay removal)
Big Thunder Ranch Petting Farm closed November 1-7 (removal of Halloween overlay; installation of holiday overlay)
Snow White Grotto [the wishing well area, not the ride] closed September 9-27
Disney Pin Traders closure only through August 30.
Mad Tea Party, Casey Junior Circus Trains and Storybook Land Canal Boats all closed October 14-24
