Last Day to “Thank The Phoenicians”: Spaceship Earth Due To Close for Months. Sunday, August 24th, is the last day for guests to experience Spaceship Earth at Epcot. The attraction is set to close for a few months for yearly maintenance. Disney has already said this is a routine scheduled refurbishment and is not a retheme.
From the Walt Disney World Website: Spaceship Earth will be temporarily closed for a routine refurbishment beginning August 25, 2025, and is planned to reopen later this year.
This will not affect the new adults-only lounge, GEO-82, that just recently opened up at World Discovery, inside Spaceship Earth. There will still be other ways of seeing Spaceship Earth. The nighttime Icon lights should still be shining every evening. There is also a new Spaceship Earth Mickey Balloon Popcorn Bucket for sale in Epcot, and during Festival of the Holidays, we may see the return of the Spaceship Gingerbread Earth in CommuniCore Hall.
Spaceship Earth refurbishment comes as Test Track has reopened after a ride retheme, and this week starts the 2025 Epcot International Food & Wine Festival.
