Breaking: Closing Date For One Classic EPCOT Attraction

Another beloved attraction is about to close at EPCOT. Here are all of the details so you know how it will affect your visit.

Refurbishment Season

Test Track is finally scheduled to reopen at EPCOT. But, just when it looked like every attraction at EPCOT would be running once again, Disney dropped an announcement.

Now, we know that another EPCOT attraction is going down for refurbishment. “Refurbishment” is certainly a word everyone hopes to avoid during their visits to Walt Disney World, especially for occasional or once-in-a-lifetime visits.

However, the reality is that refurbishments help to ensure that attractions run efficiently and, more importantly, safely. After all, no one can have fun if they aren’t at least reasonably certain that the attractions they are enjoying are safe.

Another Attraction is Closing at EPCOT

Soon, it will be Spaceship Earth’s time for a refurbishment. Disney has announced its temporary closure. Spaceship Earth is the classic EPCOT attraction inside the Geosphere.

At one time, Disney had plans to completely overhaul Spaceship Earth. You can see those plans here. However, that project was canceled along with several other EPCOT projects.

However, for the time being, it looks as if this refurbishment has nothing to do with those canceled plans. This is scheduled to be a routine refurbishment.

When Will Spaceship Earth Close

Spaceship Earth is set to close on August 25, 2025. However, this will not be a terribly long refurbishment.

Spaceship Earth will close for a routine refurbishment on August 25, 2025.

If all goes according to plan, Spaceship Earth should be open again later this year. So, it is possible we will see a fully operational EPCOT in 2025!

Does the Spaceship Earth closure affect your visit to Walt Disney World? Let us know. And be sure to share the news with your family and friends so they can manage their expectations for their own Disney trips.
