Overview

  • Spaceship Earth went offline on August 25 for refurbishment, with Disney giving only a “later this year” timeframe for its return.
  • The Walt Disney World operations calendar lists the attraction as temporarily closed through October 24, the furthest date currently visible.
  • Disney characterizes the project as routine maintenance, with reporting noting no expectation of major show-scene changes during this downtime.
  • On-site changes include planters and hedges blocking the queue, the Project Tomorrow post-show closed, and GEO-82 remaining open via a west entrance with new temporary signage.
  • Public records show a July permit for general construction and early August exterior panel refresh work, with crews observed entering the building in safety gear as fans recall but only speculate about the shelved 2020 reimagining.
