Astro Orbiter at Magic Kingdom Set for a Cosmic Tune-Up in 2025
Tomorrowland’s favorite high-flying spacecraft is preparing to head back to its maintenance bay for a little space-aged TLC. Disney has announced that Astro Orbiter at Magic Kingdom will temporarily close for a refurbishment starting January 13, 2025, with plans to relaunch in summer 2025. If you’re planning to blast off anytime soon, it’s time to chart your flight path before this interstellar icon goes offline!

Last year, the Astro Orbitor at Disneyland took a six-month hiatus for a major tune-up. During its downtime, the ride was completely dismantled and returned looking shinier than ever, with new lights, fresh paint, and subtle design enhancements. Magic Kingdom’s version could be on a similar trajectory, aiming to look more “Tomorrowland” than ever.
According to the Walt Disney World website, the Walt Disney World version of the attraction is set for a refurbishment of a similar length. The notice on the rides page reads:
Astro Orbiter will be temporarily closed for refurbishment beginning January 13, 2025, and is planned to reopen in the summer of 2025.
Fly High, Captain!
If you’ve never climbed aboard Astro Orbiter, it’s a ride that’s out of this world. Guests hop into retro two-passenger rockets that spin high above Tomorrowland’s galactic skyline. The best part? You’re in control of your spacecraft’s flight path! By pulling or pushing the lever inside your rocket, you can soar closer to the stars or glide a bit closer to Earth.
As you zip around the planetary galaxy, the views of Magic Kingdom below are stellar—especially at sunset or nighttime when Tomorrowland is glowing brighter than a supernova.

Countdown to Closure
Astro Orbiter’s refurbishment officially launches on January 13, 2025, so make sure to squeeze in a few last orbits before this star cruiser docks for its big makeover. Disney’s current flight plan has the attraction reopening in summer 2025, so your next lift-off will hopefully be smoother, shinier, and ready for a new era of galactic fun.
