Alien Swirling Saucers is a spinning ride at Toy Story Land in Disney's Hollywood Studios. First announced at the 2015 D23 Expo, it opened on June 30, 2018, as part of the area's opening.
Alien Swirling Saucers uses the same ride system that powers Disney California Adventure's Mater's Junkyard Jamboree and Tokyo Disneyland's The Happy Ride with Baymax. The ride system shares similarities to the classic "Cuddle Up" ride from Philadelphia Toboggan Company and the classic Whip ride from William F. Mangels. It was manufactured by Zamperla. The attraction is themed as a play set that Andy won at Pizza Planet.
In 2018, it was announced that it would be constructed in Walt Disney Studios Park at Disneyland Paris as a part of its 2-billion-dollar expansion. However, more recent concept art has silently cancelled its inclusion in the expansion.
In September 2026, it was announced that the original version of the ride will be temporarily closed to make way for an updated version of the ride, which will be debut on September 25, 2026, with new music and featuring Lilypad from Pixar's 2026 film Toy Story 5.
On October 6, 2026, it was announced that a new holiday overlay of the ride, with four new holiday songs, will be ran from November 4, 2026 to January 6, 2027 in Toy Story Land at Disney's Hollywood Studios, as part of Disney's Jollywood Nights, which is part of Walt Disney World Resort's 55th anniversary celebration.
