Astro Orbiter at Disney World just had a closure added to their refurbishment calendar.
Walt Disney World has to close things temporarily from time to time to keep them updated and safe for guests to experience.
Astro Orbiter is located in Tomorrowland in Magic Kingdom park at Walt Disney World Resort.
It’s a somewhat popular ride, but definitely not the headliner attraction of the land.
Astro Orbiter Closure Dates
Thankfully, this is going to be a pretty quick closure as it is only a couple of days.
Astro Orbiter will be closed Tuesday January 5th through Thursday January 7th in 2027.
This means it will be open and operating Monday January 4th, closed the 5th through 7th, then back open and operating on Friday January 8th.
If you are going to Disney World around this time, then you will need to plan your time in Magic Kingdom around this closure.
If you have several days in the park, then prioritize Astro Orbiter on a day that it is open so you don’t miss it while it is closed.
