Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters

Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters

An Attraction in Disneyland

Last updated: August 10, 2025

This attraction is currently closed!
It is scheduled to re-open on Saturday, June 13, 2026.
At a Glance
This attraction is based on the space-ranger character of Buzz Lightyear from Toy Story. The marginal story line has you and Buzz Lightyear trying to save the universe from the evil Emperor Zurg. The indoor ride is interactive to the extent that you can spin your car and shoot simulated "laser cannons" at Zurg and his minions.

Praise for Buzz Lightyear is almost universal. This comment from a Massachusetts couple is typical:

Buzz Lightyear was the surprise hit of our trip! My husband and I enjoyed competing for the best score so much that we went on this ride several times during our stay. Definitely a must.

Each car is equipped with two laser cannons and a scorekeeping display. Each score-keeping display is independent, so you can compete with your riding partner. A joystick allows you to spin the car to line up the various targets. Each time you pull the trigger, you’ll release a red laser beam that you can see hitting or missing the target. Most folks’ first ride is occupied with learning how to use the equipment (fire off individual shots as opposed to keeping the trigger depressed) and figuring out how the targets work. The next ride (as with certain potato chips, one is not enough), you’ll surprise yourself by how much better you do. Unofficial Guide readers are unanimous in their praise of Buzz Lightyear. Some guests, in fact, spend several hours on the attraction, riding again and again. See Buzz Lightyear early in the morning after riding Peter Pan’s Flight, Matterhorn Bobsleds, and Star Tours.

A real winner!

Day-Of Lightning Lane Return Times

The chart below shows typical Lightning Lane return times while you're in the park on the day of your visit. You'd use this chart to determine two things:

  • What your return time will be if you obtain a Lightning Lane at a specific time of day
  • The odds that all Lightning Lane slots will be gone at a specific time

The chart's data markers change from circles to X's when the odds of Lightning Lanes being gone exceed the percentage you select in the dropdown above the chart.

Return times jump around a lot once the initial supply of Lightning Lane slots runs out. You'll see this in the chart as jagged lines with 'X' markers on them. Those return times are based on people cancelling Lightning Lane selections, which causes sudden, unpredictable return times to show up.

Data since 7/24/2024

X markers mean Lightning Lane was gone more than 50% of the time for that selection time and crowd level.
