Walt Disney Imagineering Files Permit for New Signage at Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin

Overview

• A Notice of Commencement filed January 5 with Orange County lists the scope of work as “install signage” for the Tomorrowland attraction.
• Design Communications Ltd., a frequent Walt Disney Imagineering signage vendor, is named as the contractor on the permit.
• Coverage interprets the filing as likely pointing to a refreshed marquee at the entrance, though the permit does not specify the exact sign.
• The ride has been closed since August 2025 for a significant refurbishment and currently targets a spring 2026 return without a set date.
• Disney has previewed upgrades including a reworked opening featuring a support robot named Buddy, Star Command–styled vehicles with onboard scoring, handheld haptic blasters with an always-on laser, and reactive targets.
