Space Rangers and Rock n Rollercoaster Closures

Hi everyone,


We're hopefully coming in May 2026 on our honeymoon from the UK. I know this question is probably long the same lines as "how long is a piece of string" but I'm hoping someone with more historial parks knowledge than me can help me out.


Space Rangers has now closed for refurb and as I understand this is a complete revamp of the ride so I guess this will take a lot longer than a year. However, does anyone have any different opinion from previous times it's closed or if similar rides have gone under a refurb like this and there's a slight chance it may be open in May 2026?


And the same with Rock n Rollercoaster? I'm gutted we're missing the original version, I was so looking forward to it after it got taken away from us in Paris but glad the Muppets have a new…

Heigh-Ho Anna! I agree with Jonny that RnRC probably won’t be back before your trip. I’m really hoping they give it some of the same effects as the Iron Man re-do in Paris. I recently watched a video and if they add screens/projections I think it will be amazing! I also think there’s a good chance. The closest thing I can think of that they’ve done before is changing Journey into Your Imagination to JIYI with Figment. That closed in October of 2021 and reopened in June so that would put it right about your time! They do seem to start testing new rides and makeovers in May. Probably so they will be up and running before Summer starts!

Planning Memorial Day weekend

Hi I’m next in WDW for 15 nights which covers Memorial Day weekend in May. I have to select one day to have off the parks as my ticket will cover 14 days. I was thinking to hit a park early on the Friday before MD, then splitting a water park, a day off and an early start in AK between Sat and Mon. Is Memorial Day itself the busiest or will the Saturday or Sunday be busier? Also how busy are the water parks during holiday weekends? Thanks 🙂

I don't think you will see too much of a difference on Memorial Day - in fact 2 of the local annual passes are blocked on holiday weekends - so you will not be fighting with the local holiday people. We have seen this helps with overall crowds.

MK Firework Dessert Parties - Seats and Sweets

Just wondering if anyone has done the MK dessert party that is on the Tomorrowland terrace?


Main question is does everyone get a good view of the fireworks? Some of the terrace seating looks in a really good position, but others not quite so much. I definitely like the idea of being able to watch the fireworks without all the crowds.

Sorry Jonny 5 - we haven't been to this one - but when looking at reviews and photos it looks like a side view of the fireworks - I think if you are interested in projections this may not be the party for you - but the fireworks themselves looks like you would have a great view.

Rock N Roller Coaster Closure

Heigh Ho Everyone!


I know that the Rock N Roller Coaster will eventually close for remodeling to a Muppets theme. I did read that it will be open "through 2025".....does anyone know of a more specifice date it will close? Thank you.

I hope it closes as soon as possible as we are coming August 2026 and I would love it to be back open by then. When we last came in May 2024 it was also closed for refurbishment!
