Walt Disney World Resort has filed a new construction permit for Spaceship Earth at EPCOT. The attraction, which takes guests on a slow-moving journey through the history of human innovation, was originally scheduled for an overhaul for the Central Florida vacation destination’s 50th anniversary in 2021, but that project was shelved due to the COVID-19 pandemic.Spaceship Earth Construction PermitCredit: Steven Miller, FlickrOn April 21, Walt Disney Imagineering filed a Notice of Commencement with the Orange County Comptroller’s Office to “Install Signage” at 2060 Avenue of the Stars, the approximate address of the Spaceship Earth attraction at EPCOT. The construction permit lists Kentavo as the third-party contractor completing the work; the same company has recently been listed on similar “Install Signage” filings for “it’s a small world” and Aloha Isle at Magic Kingdom Park, as well as “The Little Mermaid – A Musical Adventure” at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.Walt Disney World Resort didn’t share any details about its plans for Spaceship Earth, but Walt Disney Imagineering’s involvement in the project is notable. Typically, Walt Disney World Resort’s Facility Assets Management team files construction permits for maintenance or infrastructure-related projects, and Imagineering files planning documents for intensive projects or guest-facing changes.Credit: Jess Colopy, Inside the MagicStill, Walt Disney Imagineering’s involvement doesn’t mean Walt Disney World Resort is planning to pull the Spaceship Earth overhaul from the shelf. The ongoing EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival wraps up on June 1, and the International Food & Wine Festival is scheduled to kick off in August. The construction permit doesn’t expire for 1 year, so it could be tied to the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival or another upcoming event, such as the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays.Follow Inside the Magic for updates on this and other projects around Magic Kingdom Park, EPCOT, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park!What do you hope Walt Disney World Resort has planned for Spaceship Earth?
