Construction Walls Rise at Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin as Refurbishment Becomes Visible

A newly filed signage permit signals entrance work ahead of a spring 2026 reopening.

Overview

  • Temporary walls now enclose the façade and entrance beneath the PeopleMover track, extending into the Tomorrowland walkway.
  • The timing aligns with a permit for new attraction signage, indicating exterior and entrance updates are underway.
  • PeopleMover riders can see early changes, including removed green paneling and twisted metal elements near the doorways.
  • The attraction has been closed since August 2025, with Disney targeting spring 2026 for a return featuring handheld blasters, reactive targets, refreshed vehicles, a new opening scene, and the support-bot character Buddy.
  • No specific reopening date has been announced, and a nearby gift shop is closed during the work according to on-site reporting.
