New Reimagining of EPCOT's Spaceship Earth Revealed at D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event

As revealed at D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event, a long-awaited reimagining of Spaceship Earth is coming to EPCOT after nearly 20 years.

What's Happening:

• During tonight's Horizons presentation at D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event, it was revealed that after nearly two decades (and an abandoned refresh that was announced several years ago), EPCOT's landmark attraction is getting a refresh.
• Spaceship Earth towers over the EPCOT skyline and has since 1982, telling the story of human communication.

• Imagineers revealed tonight that the reimagined Spaceship Earth will bring the classic attraction into the internet age and beyond, reimagining the communication theme into a broader theme that is still classically EPCOT - a theme of human CONNECTION.
• The project was just revealed to be in active development, and no closing date was revealed for the current iteration of the classic attraction.
