There are some BIG changes coming to Disney World in the future, and they will change how you do your park day!
Magic Kingdom
In Magic Kingdom, the new Villains Land and Cars attractions are coming. We will get the new Pirates of the Caribbean Tavern opening late 2025 and a new nighttime parade in the summer of 2025! Recently, Disney announced new changes for an iconic Tomorrowland ride, and that has guests grabbing a Lightning Lane for it!
Changes are coming to Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin at Magic Kingdom! Disney has announced that a new show scene, updated ride vehicles, and gameplay enhancements will be coming to this ride sometime in 2026.
Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin
Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin will close in August and reopen sometime in 2026. Now, guests want to secure their chance to ride it one last time before the lengthy closure of the attraction. The best way to guarantee riding it is to use a Lightning Lane Multi Pass selection for it.
Space Ranger Spin
This ride is a Tier 2 ride at Magic Kingdom. While the ride can have moderate wait times, we do see this line spike during peak seasons, and the worst part is that the queue is partially outside. During the summer, this is a hot line to wait in so why not grab that Lightning Lane and walk into the AC?

So what is changing? The ride vehicles are getting a new design inspired by the colors of Buzz Lightyear and Star Command. Each vehicle will also come equipped with video monitors that provide real-time scoring updates and other exciting features. There will also be handheld blasters instead of the ones currently attached to the vehicle. The new blasters will now include an always-on laser and come in two different colors so you can tell who is aiming at what!

I am very sorry to keep posting the same news. In 2015 my Husband and I tied the knot at the Polynesia Hotel in front of our 120 good friends. We met there and we married there. It was not inexpensive at all!
We planned everything in record time. We are extremely happy even though we are in debt!
