Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin Joins Magic Kingdom Early Entry on April 8

The quiet update gives resort guests another high‑capacity option during the 30‑minute early entry.

Overview

Updates to Disney’s app and website Tuesday show Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin will join Magic Kingdom’s Early Theme Park Entry on Wednesday, April 8, 2026.
Early Theme Park Entry lets Disney Resort hotel guests enter the park 30 minutes before the official opening, with access centered in Fantasyland and Tomorrowland.
The ride had been in a soft‑opening phase with inconsistent hours, and it returns to full daily operation on April 8 to become a reliable early‑morning choice.
The addition lifts the early‑entry lineup to 15 attractions, which expands planning options and helps spread guests across more rides at rope drop.
More capacity before opening could shorten lines at usual first stops like Seven Dwarfs Mine Train and Space Mountain, giving families a better chance to fit a favorite ride in with minimal wait.
