food IS a theme park
If you’re headed to EPCOT soon, you need to know about this popular ride’s closure!
EPCOT
We’ve been going to Disney World on a daily basis for years, so closures are nothing new in our book. While they might not be new, they can mess up your vacation plans if they catch you off guard, so here’s your reminder about a big EPCOT closure starting soon.
We’ve got big news out of EPCOT, and we have a feeling a lot of you won’t exactly be happy about it.
EPCOT
Test Track is getting ready to reopen VERY SOON, but we just found out that ANOTHER ride change will be coming to EPCOT at the end of the summer. If you’re a big fan of Spaceship Earth, you need to know that it’s temporarily closing at the end of summer.
With Disney World closed until further notice, lots of guests are now replanning their vacations for the coming months. And we don’t blame them, we want to get back into the parks ASAP too!
Spaceship Earth
BUT DON’T BE TOO HASTY!!!! There’s a lot to remember when re-scheduling…especially right NOW! Don’t let these things catch you by surprise when rescheduling your Disney World trip for this summer!
It has certainly been a busy week in Disney news! From a new CEO being announced to Festival menus on BOTH the east coast and the west coast, there has been no shortage of exciting announcements.

Let’s take a look at some of the biggest news stories from the past week!
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.
