Spaceship Earth Refurb

angell1975 · 04-27-2007

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!

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

Wow, I will be very interested to see it when its all done.

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 don't remember any post ride attractions...... are they new??

What's in there?

**llama** · 04-27-2007

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

Dadoo · 04-27-2007

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.

It's on the calendar section of the Disney site. Hope this helps.

gingita · 04-27-2007

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.

gingles · 04-27-2007

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.

There was games for the kids as you exit. Its been gone for a few years now

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