Spaceship Earth
Reflected in the giant golf ball known as Spaceship Earth is how we as a human race have communicated with each other for centuries and what is possible for our future. Photo by Rori Paul.
Epcot’s Spaceship Earth is one of the favorite starting – or ending – points for repeat Walt Disney World visitors. Housed in “the big golf ball” – also known as Spaceship Earth – you’re greeted at Epcot by riding the attraction housed in Epcot’s signature architecture. At Magic Kingdom its Cinderella’s Castle where you can eat or have a Princess makeover. At Animal Kingdom you can enjoy a Bug’s Life in the base of the Tree of Life. At Hollywood Studios you can walk under Mickey’s Sorcerer Apprentice hat. At Epcot, its the giant golf ball – ok, Spaceship Earth.
Inside ride your futuristic blue & silver buggy into the future, present and history of communication – how we as humans have recorded our history, shared news and revealed new discoveries. Having ridden Spaceship Earth you’re as likely to discover the charm and classic Disney-esgue style of the attractions that made Walt Disney World a favorite of generations around the world.
I could keep telling you, but instead here are some scenes from Spaceship Earth. No, this does not include the entire experience nor does it provide you the background soundtrack to the attraction – those must be saved for your in-person adventure. Yet relive or discover for the first time a journey into Walt Disney World’s Spaceship Earth and see just what makes it so special to Epcot lovers everywhere…
