New Permit Hints Something NEW Could Be Coming to Disney World’s Star Tours Attraction

Okay, so rides in Disney World get updated ALL the time. Just right now, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad in Magic Kingdom is closed for a long update.

Star Tours in Disney’s Hollywood Studios

In EPCOT, Test Track is getting a completely new theme. Another ride that has received a few updates lately is Star Tours in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, including the addition of new scenes with new characters. Well, it seems that Disney isn’t quite done with that ride in Hollywood Studios because a new permit suggests that ride is about to get something NEW.

Last year, Star Tours received some new scenes that included characters from some of the hit Star Wars TV shows on Disney+, including Ahsoka, Andor, and The Mandalorian. A new permit recently filed for the location of the ride, though, suggests something else is coming to the ride soon, too. The permit is to “install set elements,” which suggests something physical is coming to the ride, its queue, or potentially the ride’s gift shop (which shares the same address).

Disney has not made any announcements about plans to change the ride, so we can’t be 100% sure what these set elements are, but something new does seem to be coming to the area, whatever it is. It would be kinda cool to see an update made to the queue, but as we mentioned, this could also be for a fun scene or something that’s being added to the gift shop. Whatever it is, we’ll be keeping an eye out for construction at the ride.

Could something new be coming to the queue?

This is just one of many updates that are coming to Star Wars rides in Hollywood Studios. Disney previously announced that Millennium Falcon: Smuggler’s Run in both Hollywood Studios and Disneyland will be getting a new mission to celebrate the release of The Mandalorian and Grogu movie in 2026.

We’ll be keeping an eye out for more updates in Disney World, so stay tuned to DFB for more.
