Disney Removes Multiple 1994 Spaceship Towers at Magic Kingdom’s Tomorrowland
A May permit naming a demolition contractor ties the takedowns to planned bridge work and signals a move toward a cleaner mid‑century look for the land.
Overview
- In early June 2026, on‑site reporters documented that two smaller 1994 entrance towers were already gone and a larger spaceship‑style tower next to Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Café was being dismantled or fully removed.
- A Notice of Commencement filed in May 2026 named D. H. Griffin Wrecking Company as a contractor for work on the Tomorrowland bridge, and reporters link that permit to the current demolitions.
- The removals continue a long, step‑by‑step undoing of the 1994 'New Tomorrowland' aesthetic that has already cost features such as the Cool Ship, Robo‑Newz, the Monsters, Inc. spaceship facade, the Metrophone and the heavy entrance arch.
- Physical changes include removed domes, spires and cone elements, cleared rockwork and green tarps over former bases, which open sightlines into the land and create space for simpler, mid‑century styling.
- Disney has not disclosed plans for the cleared areas, so guests should expect more incremental changes that may remove remaining matching towers and could lead to further reworking of Tomorrowland’s entrance and nearby infrastructure.
