Buzz Lightyear Statue Removed From Disney Springs Storefront
No reason has been announced by Disney, with recent parallels pointing to routine refurbishment.
Overview
- The statue that typically stands outside Once Upon a Toy was found missing as of October 9, leaving only its round pedestal in place.
- Potted plants now surround and sit atop the pedestal, a setup used to discourage guests from climbing on the base.
- Disney has issued no official statement about the removal or a timeline for return.
- Earlier in 2025, the nearby Mr. Potato Head statue was similarly removed and later returned with fresh paint after several weeks.
- Statues of Princess Aurora and Cinderella near World of Disney were also temporarily taken down this year for repainting and subsequently reinstalled.
