Overview
- Following cast previews, the refreshed attraction began an unannounced soft opening for guests on Monday, offering early rides ahead of the April 8 reopening.
- During this preview period, entry is standby only because the My Disney Experience app still lists the ride as closed and Lightning Lane access is not available.
- Overnight, construction walls came down and a new dimensional marquee with Star Command styling revealed the updated exterior to guests.
- Inside, upgrades include handheld blasters with always-on lasers, reactive digital targets, redesigned vehicles with live scoring screens, and a new Buddy pre-show scene.
- Disney says soft opens can close without notice, so hours may be inconsistent as teams fine-tune operations and ease spring crowds with a more accessible, easier-to-aim gameplay setup.
