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.[1]

Alien Swirling Saucers uses the same ride system that powers Disney California Adventure Park's Mater's Junkyard Jamboree and Tokyo Disneyland's The Happy Ride with Baymax.[2] The ride system shares similarities to the classic "Cuddle Up" ride from Philadelphia Toboggan Company and the classic Whip ride from William F. Mangels.[3] It was manufactured by Zamperla.[4]

The attraction is themed as a play set that Andy won at Pizza Planet.[5]
