Spaceship Earth Closes at EPCOT for Refurbishment, Reopening 'Later This Year'

The official calendar shows the attraction closed through at least October 24 under a general construction permit.

Overview

  • The closure began August 25 following Disney’s announcement of a routine refurbishment with no major show changes confirmed.
  • Walt Disney World has not provided a reopening date beyond stating it will return later this year.
  • Rolling planters and hedges now block the queue and the Project Tomorrow post-show area is closed to guests.
  • Cast Members and crews with safety gear were seen entering the attraction as exterior panel refresh work that started in early August continues after a July permit filing.
  • The GEO-82 lounge remains open during the downtime, with temporary signs directing guests to use the west entrance.
