Spaceship Earth Reopens at EPCOT After Maintenance Refurbishment

The work focused on maintenance, not a new storyline.

Overview

  • The attraction officially returned to service on October 25 following a quiet soft reopening on October 18.
  • It had been closed since August 25 for scheduled upkeep rather than a broad reimagining.
  • Interior scenes show refreshed figures and mechanics with no significant changes to the ride’s narrative.
  • The boats in the “Thank the Phoenicians” scene are moving again after a prolonged pause.
  • Exterior updates include repainting and panel replacements near the base and the restoration of one oval sign’s lighting effect as the other awaits a fix.
