Keep in mind that while this deal is fantastic, it doesn’t apply to every single room or ship. You won’t find this discount on the Disney Adventure, and it’s limited to stateroom categories 04A through 11C (sorry, no suites or Concierge rooms this time!). You also won’t be able to “double dip” by combining this with other promos.

Disneyland Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters Begins Long Term Refurbishment

Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters Enters Extended Refurbishment

Attention, recruits! It looks like our favorite Space Ranger is taking a temporary leave from the front lines. Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters at Disneyland Park has officially powered down for a scheduled refurbishment.

If you were planning on heading to Tomorrowland to defeat the Evil Emperor Zurg this month, you’ll want to adjust your flight path.

buzz lightyear astro blasters

The attraction officially closed its doors on Monday, April 13. While Walt Disney World recently celebrated the grand reopening of its own version of the ride—Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin—it’s now time for the West Coast version to get a little bit of TLC.

Currently, the Disneyland operating calendar shows no hours for the attraction through at least May 25. Since Disney typically releases park hours about six weeks in advance, we don’t have a confirmed reopening date just yet, but it’s clear the Space Rangers will be off-duty for at least the next several weeks.

While Disney hasn’t officially detailed the extent of the work, recent permits give us a “mission brief” on what’s happening inside Building #8101. The refurbishment includes a tenant improvement project focused on the unload area, where crews will be modifying a half-wall to accommodate a brand-new gate.

In addition to the layout changes, the “Space Ranger Corps” is also getting some technical upgrades. The permits call for:

  • Mechanical Work: Installation of new fans in the Electronic Equipment Room (EER).
  • Electrical Upgrades: General electrical work throughout the attraction to keep systems running smoothly.
BLAB

While the Florida version of the ride recently enjoyed a more intensive update (including new ride vehicles and refreshed scenes), the work at Disneyland seems focused on operational efficiency and general maintenance. These updates to the unload area and cooling systems should ensure a smoother experience for guests and better climate control for the ride’s technical brains.

Even though Buzz is away, there is still plenty of action to find in Tomorrowland! You can still test your mettle on Space Mountain, find your way through the galaxy on Star Tours – The Adventures Continue, or catch a glimpse of the ongoing construction in the area.

If you’re a die-hard fan of the attraction, this is a great time to brush up on your high-score strategies so you can return as a Galactic Hero once the blasters are back online!

With the countdown officially on, Disney and Pixar are launching “Roundup Reveal Week” to showcase a massive wave of new merchandise. Fans can expect daily reveals of toys, collectibles, and apparel from global brands, all celebrating the upcoming sequel.

The hype doesn’t stop with merch, either. Baseball fans can already grab tickets for MLB Toy Story 5 theme nights across the country. Plus, eagle-eyed guests at Walt Disney World should keep a lookout; Imagineers have confirmed that the recently refurbished Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin is now packed with hidden Easter eggs pointing toward the new movie.

Disney+ Debuts Songs in Sign Language April 27

Disney Animation’s Songs in Sign Language Arrives This Month

Get ready to experience your favorite Disney songs in a beautiful new way! In honor of National Deaf History Month, Disney+ is set to debut a groundbreaking new series, Disney Animation’s Songs in Sign Language, on April 27.

This special release features three beloved musical sequences from recent Walt Disney Animation Studios hits, newly reimagined and animated in American Sign Language (ASL). Whether you’re an Encanto fan or can’t stop singing along to Frozen 2, this is a “must-watch” event for the whole family.

sign language

Directed by veteran Disney animator and director Hyrum Osmond, the series will feature three heavy-hitting tracks:

  • “The Next Right Thing” (Frozen 2)
  • “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” (Encanto)
  • “Beyond” (Moana 2)

But this isn’t just a simple overlay. Osmond and his team of over 20 animators created entirely new animation for these sequences. Working alongside producers Heather Blodget and Christina Chen, the team collaborated with the Tony Award-winning Deaf West Theatre in Los Angeles to ensure the animation stayed true to the spirit and emotion of the ASL language.

mirabel

For Director Hyrum Osmond, this project was deeply personal. Growing up with a Deaf father, Osmond felt a barrier in communication that he hoped to bridge through his art.

“Sign language is one of the most beautiful ways of communication on Earth,” Osmond shared. “If ever there was a medium to showcase sign language, it was animation. This reimagining helps bring down barriers and allows us to connect in a special way with our audiences in the Deaf community.”

DJ Kurs, the artistic director for Deaf West Theatre, echoed the importance of this historic moment. Alongside choreographer Catalene Sacchetti and a group of eight performers, the team focused on translating the concepts and emotions of the lyrics rather than a word-for-word transcription.

“For so long, we have known and loved the artistic medium of Disney Animation,” Kurs said. “Here, the art form was adapting to us. I hope this unlocks possibilities in the minds and hearts of Deaf children.”

moana

Alongside the three musical numbers, Disney+ will also release a special behind-the-scenes featurette. This look into the production will show fans exactly how the collaboration between Disney Animation and Deaf West Theatre brought these sequences to life, highlighting the technical and emotional work that went into every frame.

Mark your calendars for April 27! We can’t wait to see these iconic stories told through the beautiful lens of ASL.
