Status: TBA

Dates: Spring 2020 - TBA 2021

Spaceship Earth will adjusting its theme away from the history of communication and towards "storytelling", in a landmark reimagining of this ride, which will see it transformed into Spacehip Earth: Our Shared Story, a moniker that was recently confirmed with the opening of the Epcot Experience preview center last year. 

This new version of Spaceship Earth will have a new narrator in the form of a story "Light", that will guide guests through this enhanced ride, that will include both familiar scenes with plussed up effects (as you can see above), and new scenes as well. This new character will be present in every scene and will also be speaking to guests throughout the attraction, explaining how storytelling has changed throughout time. 

The reimagining of this attraction will be a massive undertaking and though Disney hasn't announced a closing date yet, we'd imagine that guests who want to experience this ride in its original form will probably want to do so before March, as rumors currently suggest that this attraction will close in early Spring (after the aforementioned Test Track refurbishment is complete), and will remain shuttered until sometime in 2021, when the new version is expected to have a grand re-opening.
