Spaceship Earth Refurb

I just found on the Disney site that Spaceship Earth will be closing for refurbishment on May 7th-10th; June 22nd-23rd and July 9th-November 1st. I know alot of us have trips planned for those times so I thought I would give everyone a heads up!

Re: Spaceship Earth Refurb

But it should be noted that the new attractions when you exit the ride should still be open. It's open now and it's amazing

Re: Spaceship Earth Refurb

I'm confused.... the ride will be closed in September, but there's attractions out side the globe you can see?

It's a post ride area much like Journey into Imagination. I believe there is a separate entrance.

I did not knowthis either. My oldest DS is disappointed that SE will be closed during our trip. I think he just likes the idea of going inside there.

I wish they had chosen a different time - Epcot just won't be the same for me without SE.

Re: Spaceship Earth Refurb

As I remember, there were activities when you exited the ride in Spaceship Earth before, then the exit area was empty. As I understand, now there is new stuff, it is open to the public even though the ride itself will be down when we are there this year. I can't wait to see what it's all about. There are other posts about this, some quite extensive. Check them out, too.

Re: Spaceship Earth Refurb

Yes, I can confirm as a CM at SSE that there will be a post attraction area opening very soon. I have seen parts of it and it's AWESOME! So hopefully that will help soothe some of the pain of the refurbishment downtime.

Re: Spaceship Earth Refurb

Interesting, this is a change in the previous info that said most of the work would be done after-hours starting with a new post-show area and the ride itself wouldn't close until late this year or early next.

I still wish they were able to retrofit Spaceship Earth with a roller coaster.
