All Astro Orbiter planets, which form part of its signature orbiting theming, have now been removed as work continues in Tomorrowland.
A large crane, brought in at the start of the refurbishment, was used to remove the planets over the weekend. Based on past refurbishments, including the 2014 update, it's likely the crane will be temporarily removed once this phase of work is complete. It is expected to return later in the refurbishment to reinstall the planets and finalize other thematic elements of the attraction.
We don't yet have an exact opening date, but Disney says the Astro Orbiter will reopen in the summer of 2025.
