NEW Permit Filed For Ride Changes in Disney's Hollywood Studios

There is SO much changing in Disney World these days. Across the theme parks, there are tons of new things like Bluey’s Wild World, Jessie’s Roundup: A Rip-Roarin’ Revue, and Goofycore, which are ready for summer.

In Hollywood Studios, the Muppets have returned, and the Walt Disney Studios is partially open! It seems like Disney is leaving no stone unturned, because now a new permit has been filed for Hollywood Studios in Toy Story Land. Find out what’s changing right here!

Changes are coming to Alien Swirling Saucers! The popular spinning ride in Toy Story Land is beloved by families because of the low height requirement and the fun renditions of classic songs. In a Notice of Commencement, Disney filed a new permit with the State of Florida for updates to the attraction.

The permit was filed by Walt Disney Imagineering to “install set elements.” This means new set elements are coming to the ride, which will be noticeable changes for riders! The work will be done by Icarus Exhibits, Inc., which is a contracting company that specializes in “custom theming for fully immersive elements, one-of-a-kind projects, and the never-before-done,” according to their website. This company has worked with Disney several times on things like TRON: Lightcycle Run at Magic Kingdom, set pieces in Toy Story Land, and even past elements of Galaxy’s Edge.

Disney hasn’t released details on what the changes will include, but it could be many things! We’re eager to see if it will include changes inspired by the upcoming film Toy Story 5. This ride is seriously adorable, but we wouldn’t be upset if they removed the upbeat version of “When She Loved Me.” Despite the nice beat, the song tends to bum us out. (Okay, maybe it’s just this writer).

Hi, Buzz!

The permit expires on May 28th, 2027, if the work isn’t completed before that day. We can’t wait to see what the changes are once they finally take place. This is just one of many of the ongoing projects happening around Walt Disney World that we’re keeping an eye on. Don’t forget to keep following DFB for more Disney news, updates, and more.
