Spaceship Earth to close on May 26th for a ride refurbishment

Spaceship Earth will be closing on May 26th for a ride refurbishment as Walt Disney Imagineering will be changing areas throughout the attraction.

Spaceship Earth in its current form will close for a time starting that day, and the ideas Disney is working on inside that geosphere will be well worth the wait.

Spaceship Earth will focus on the story of humanity, following our long journey from prehistoric humans to today brought to life with magic and depth that only Disney can deliver. Many of the moments you know and love will be updated in amazing ways, blended with brand-new scenes to tell a story about our human experience.


Today Disney shared with us a few additional details of what you can expect when this icon returns. You’ll visit Egypt, which is part of the current version of the attraction, but it will be an Egypt like you’ve never seen before, transformed through the power of light.

Throughout the attraction, you’ll hear new narration and see how light plays a central role in our shared human journey, coming to life in dynamic ways in a celebration of the magic that’s possible when we all come together.

Walt Disney once said EPCOT “would always be in a state of becoming,” and Spaceship Earth has lived up to that vision for generations. This will be the attraction’s fourth – and most ambitious – update since the park’s grand opening on Oct. 1, 1982.
