BREAKING NEWS: Spaceship Earth Closing in May for Reimagining

Spaceship Earth is a crucial piece of the historic transformation already underway at EPCOT, and Walt Disney Imagineering will start implementing the new vision for Spaceship Earth beginning May 26. 

This means Spaceship Earth in its current form will close for a time starting that day. As was shared at last year’s D23 Expo, the next iteration of 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 the Disney Parks Blog shared 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.
