If you blinked, you might’ve missed it—Magic Kingdom just quietly wiped out a longtime snack stand in Tomorrowland, and fans are starting to take notice.
Tucked near Space Mountain, Cool Ship was never the flashiest spot in the park, but it served a purpose: a quick bite, a cold drink, and a refreshing mist from its Cool Scanner to battle that Florida heat. Now? It’s gone. Bulldozed. All that remains is dirt, debris, and the echoes of popcorn past.
Disney Hits the Reset Button on Tomorrowland
This is just the latest move in Disney’s ongoing Tomorrowland glow-up. With TRON Lightcycle / Run adding a sleek, high-tech flair to the area, it’s been clear for a while that Disney wants to give this land a more cohesive and modern look. Astro Orbiter is getting spruced up, and Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin is next on the renovation list. Now, Cool Ship becomes the latest casualty—or maybe, the next opportunity.
While Disney initially said the stand was “temporarily closed,” what’s happened since feels more like a hard reset. The entire foundation has been ripped up, and construction equipment is on-site. There’s no hiding this one behind scrim or construction walls—it’s a full-on demolition.
What Could Be Coming Next?
We don’t yet know what Disney plans to put in its place. It’s possible the spot will be rebuilt with a fresh design that matches Tomorrowland’s new theme, or maybe it’ll be replaced by something entirely new. Either way, it’s one more sign that the future is arriving fast—and some of the past is being left behind.
Until then, guests looking for a snack fix can check out other nearby options like The Lunching Pad or Auntie Gravity’s Galactic Goodies.
It’s always a little sad to lose a fan-favorite spot, even if it flew under the radar. But with all the changes happening around Tomorrowland, it feels like Disney’s getting ready to launch something new—and maybe even cooler.
