Overview
- The pair of large sliding doors that separate the main queue from the Hondo Ohnaka preshow room were observed operating again Sunday, returning a long-dormant show effect.
- The two industrial-style doors—one left and one right—now close to hold groups back and then reopen to admit each party into the Hondo briefing room.
- Restoring the doors fixes timing problems that had let the preshow start mid-cycle or expose the briefing to the queue, so guests now get a distinct reveal and steadier pacing.
- The change is an operational fix rather than a storyline shift and complements the May 2026 update that added a Din Djarin and Grogu mission, changed Hondo’s role, and introduced randomized destinations.
- Multiple on-site reporters and Disney-focused outlets published photos and video of the doors working, indicating a coordinated maintenance or ride-ops adjustment by Imagineering and cast members.
