UPDATE: Disney has announced Spaceship Earth will be officially closing May 26th, 2020!
We spend a lot of time floating around in the metaphorical “black hole” that is Disney permits and patents. Disney is a HUGE company, and that means that we’re constantly seeing building permits, invention patents, environmental resource permits, and MORE popping up with the Disney name on them.
Epcot’s Spaceship Earth
Well occasionally, a permit will catch our eye — and we spotted one recently that gave us some serious pause. On January 21st, a permit was filed for 2060 Avenue of the Stars. What’s that address, you ask? Well, it’s usually associated with the building housing Spaceship Earth.
Of course, we’re expecting a closure of the ride at some point during the Epcot transformation to make some significant changes to the attraction. The catch is we don’t know WHEN this closure is coming, but it’s possible that this permit is a clue.
Read on for why.
