Welcome to planDisney, Hailey! You're in for an intergalactic adventure this week; I'm so excited for you and your
Toy Story-loving son to experience the world of yesterday, tomorrow, and fantasy at
Magic Kingdom Park! I'd love to give you a few tips to ensure your son catches a glimpse of Buzz Lightyear and also experiences some adventures from his favorite film!
Hailey, Buzz Lightyear has previously been available to meet guests daily at Star Command in Tomorrowland just outside of his attraction,
Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin, but his character meeting spot has recently shifted to offer a meet and greet with the mischievous Stitch. My panelist pal
Jana is in the park today and confirmed this information with a Cast Member, who noted that Buzz is now only available for meet-and-greets in
Toy Story Land over at Hollywood Studios.
While this might not be the magical answer you had hoped for, be sure to experience Space Ranger Spin with your son so you can help him defeat the Evil Emperor Zurg in this space battle! As you go through the queue, you will see an animatronic Buzz that is great for photos! I also recommend taking a spin on the
Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover to get a bird's-eye view of the attraction (and you're sure to catch a glimpse of your galactic hero as well!) One last tip is to keep your eyes peeled for unexpected glimpses of Buzz Lightyear, like a Disney Bus or gondola on the
Disney Skyliner wrapped in his likeness! You never know where the details of Disney will shine some unexpected magic on you!
Hailey, I hope this helps your son get a glimpse of Buzz! If you have any other questions we can help with before your visit, come back to
planDisney and let us know! We're always here to help!
To Infinity and Beyond,
Alison
