Surprise! Spaceship Earth Reopens Early at EPCOT
The multi-month refurbishment of Spaceship Earth is officially complete! The iconic EPCOT attraction soft opened to guests earlier than expected this evening, November 18, 2025.
Guests who experienced the unexpected soft opening reported no significant changes to the attraction. The ride itself, including the show scenes and narration, appears identical to how it was before the August closure. However, Spaceship Earth is still officially listed as closed until October 25, 2025, on the Walt Disney World website. It remains unclear if this early operation is the beginning of an unannounced soft reopening or merely a temporary testing phase before the official return later this month.
The refurbishment, which began on August 25, was primarily intended for essential ride system maintenance and behind-the-scenes work, with expectations for only minor updates to the in-vehicle display screens.
