Imagineers say the goal is to make the attraction more relatable to today’s guests while preserving the nostalgic charm fans love, including the iconic “There’s a Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow” theme song. The refresh will also focus heavily on authentic details, practical effects, and decade-accurate props, music, fashion, and artwork throughout the attraction.

Didn’t see this coming but i’ve got some exciting news out of Tomorrowland! Disney just announced that Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin at Magic Kingdom is getting a major upgrade, and I couldn’t be more pumped. Starting in 2026, guests will be introduced to a brand-new character named Buddy—an adorable, helpful robot designed by Walt Disney Imagineering and Pixar. Buddy will kick off your mission with a systems check and a little encouragement to help you defeat Zurg and rack up that high score.
