Disney Confirms Status of Indefinitely Closed Tomorrowland Attraction

If you have been walking through Tomorrowland lately and feeling like something is missing, you are not imagining things. Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters has been closed since April, sitting quietly unused while Disney crews have worked on the attraction. The good news for Space Rangers everywhere is that the wait is almost over.

Disney has officially confirmed on the Disneyland website that Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters will reopen on Saturday, June 13, 2026, with operating hours running from 8 a.m. to midnight. Mark your park plans accordingly.

So what exactly went on behind those walls? Honestly, Disney has not said much of anything, which is pretty on-brand. Based on what has and has not been communicated, the consensus is that this was a maintenance-focused closure rather than any kind of large-scale creative overhaul. Guests who are expecting to walk in and find a fully reimagined attraction will probably want to temper those expectations. Astro Blasters appears to be coming back as the experience most guests already know and love, just running smoothly and freshened up.

For a point of comparison, the Florida counterpart to this attraction tells a different story. Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin at Magic Kingdom came out of its own refurbishment looking noticeably updated, with brand-new ride vehicles, refreshed scenes, updated interactive targets, and a suite of technological improvements that gave the whole ride a more modernized feel. The Disneyland closure is not believed to have gone anywhere near that scope of work.

On the ground in Tomorrowland, some signs of life are already returning to the area. The Little Green Men Store Command, the gift shop directly connected to the attraction, has already reopened its doors. Construction scrim and some facade work are still visible on portions of the exterior, so the finishing touches appear to be in progress as the June 13 date approaches.

The reopening timing is worth noting. Peak summer season is in full swing, families are arriving at the parks in full force, and Toy Story 5 is heading to theaters on June 19, 2026. Disney and Pixar’s fifth installment in the long-running franchise is shaping up to be one of the biggest films of the year, with real potential to become the studio’s next billion-dollar title. Taylor Swift’s involvement has only added to the anticipation surrounding what many will surely be calling a full-on Toy Story summer.

Having one of Disneyland’s most beloved Toy Story-themed experiences back up and running right as the new film arrives is a combination that lines up in a way that will not be lost on guests making their summer plans.

Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters returns June 13, and it is time to get back to work.
