Disney theme park refurbishment and development

Overview

Maintenance and refurbishment efforts at Disney theme parks have progressed from localized water feature repairs to major attraction overhauls.

Initially, repairs were completed on water features at EPCOT, including the fountain in front of Spaceship Earth and the World Celebration reflecting pool, which had been dry or undergoing refurbishment.

Following these repairs, Disney announced a significant refurbishment for the Spaceship Earth attraction itself. This project will shift the attraction’s theme from human communication to “human connection.” This update follows a previously postponed 2019 plan that was delayed by budget constraints and the pandemic.
