Overview
- A new Notice of Commencement lists Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin and names Jon Richards Company as the contractor.
- The permit describes the scope only as “general construction,” providing no specific details about the work.
- Unlike typical Walt Disney World permits that default to about one year, this filing sets a roughly 14‑month expiration to April 2, 2027.
- The attraction is still scheduled to reopen this spring with Buddy, reactive targets, redesigned vehicles with real-time scoring displays, and handheld blasters with always-on lasers and haptics.
- Because Disney’s Facility Asset Management filed the permit rather than Walt Disney Imagineering, outlets report the timeline likely reflects infrastructure or phased work that may continue after reopening.
