Fans of Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run at Disney's Hollywood Studios have a small but satisfying detail to look forward to: the large sliding doors that separate the attraction's queue from the Hondo Ohnaka preshow room are once again operating as intended, opening and closing for guests as they make their way toward the cockpit.
The doors had apparently not been functioning for some time, so their return to working order restores a piece of the immersive storytelling experience that helps set the mood before riders take the controls of the Millennium Falcon. The preshow room, where the pirate Hondo Ohnaka briefs guests on their smuggling mission, is a key part of the attraction's narrative flow.
The fix was noted on July 26, 2026, as part of a busy day across the Disney parks that also included new close-up looks at construction progress on the upcoming Monstropolis land at Hollywood Studios, new seasonal merchandise arrivals, and a milestone for Toy Story 5, which crossed one billion dollars at the global box office.
