My Disney Experience Notifications

Although many guests would rather not be on their phone while on vacation, the My Disney Experience app for Disney World Guests is truly invaluable. After all, it has everything you need to enjoy a magical vacation!

This app helps Guests plan their vacation, from booking their next Lightning Lane Multi-Pass selection to even locating their car after a long day in the parks.

Walt Disney World will often display pop-up notifications to guests via the My Disney Experience app. This is helpful to communicate ride closures, changes in operations, and important updates.

EPCOT Warning

Today, when we opened the Walt Disney World My Disney Experience app, we received a new notification.

"On behalf of the entire team at EPCOT, I'd like to apologize that Spaceship Earth is currently unavailable.

Our Cast Members are working diligently to get the attraction up and running again, and we are sorry you are not able to experience this attraction at this time. I hope you will enjoy some of our other attractions during your experience in the park today."

Spaceship Earth Closed

This is not a good sign for Guests visiting EPCOT today. While this does not indicate that Spaceship Earth will be closed for the entire day, it does imply that it is more complicated than simply "temporarily unavailable".

Spaceship Earth is currently unavailable at EPCOT.

A closed attraction does create ripples throughout EPCOT, creating higher wait times for other attractions. If Spaceship Earth is a "must do" for your family, continue checking the My Disney Experience app throughout the day to see if may have reopened.

What do you think of this closure? Share your thoughts with us and share this news with your Disney pals.
