    Will there be early access to Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin before the opening date in April? In the past on refurbished attractions there has been early access offered for DVC or Annual Passholders.

    Hi Brett, welcome home and welcome to planDisney! Buzz Lightyear to Star Command, come in. Do you read me? It sounds like we have our next up-and-coming Galactic Hero, Brett, here who wants to go to infinity and beyond! Now let’s get this space ranger the intel he needs before he starts his mission.

    Brett, as you’re likely aware, Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin is currently temporarily closed for refurbishment and is set to reopen on April 8, 2026. Unfortunately, there haven't been any announcements on any ride previews for Disney Vacation Club members or Annual Passholders prior to its reopening date. Given how close we are to the reopening date, it is unlikely that such a ride preview will occur.

    But don’t fret, space ranger! The day this attraction opens is also a day that Magic Kingdom will be open late for Extended Evening Hours. If you’ll be staying at a DVC villa, that means you’ll have exclusive access to Magic Kingdom and (hopefully) a shorter queue for Space Ranger Spin. Also, don’t forget that Lightning Lane Multi Pass can give you an opportunity to skip the standby line and defeating Emperor Zurg even quicker.

    I know this might not be the information you were looking for, but I hope the options I provided will prove that you have a friend in me. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me and my fellow panelists here at planDisney!

    Your pal,
