Summary
Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin is concluding a year-long update at Walt Disney World. Inspired by Disney-Pixar's Toy Story, this Magic Kingdom attraction opened in 1998. Its 2026 recharge includes new ride vehicles, enhanced gaming elements, other updates. In this episode, I interview Walt Disney Imagineers Kimberly Alison and Justin DeTolla about their work on the updated ride experience, and I chat with Drew the Disney Dude about his early preview at Magic Kingdom.
