Spaceship Earth Remains Closed at EPCOT With No Reopening Timeframe

Disney has not provided a cause or reopening estimate.

Overview

  • An in-app notification from My Disney Experience apologizes to guests and confirms Spaceship Earth is currently unavailable.
  • Operations halted Friday, March 21, and the attraction did not run Saturday; as of late Sunday morning it was still listed as unavailable.
  • Disney has issued no statement explaining the outage or indicating when the ride will reopen.
  • Observers reported the sphere’s exterior lighting was dark Saturday night, though Disney has not confirmed any technical cause.
  • The closure follows a near–three-month refurbishment completed in October 2025 and reports of frequent breakdowns in early 2026; separately, Disneyland Paris reached capacity this weekend and turned guests away by 9:16 a.m.
