Spaceship Earth in Epcot is a ride located in the park’s iconic golf shaped ball. This ride will take you through at communication technology throughout history. At the end of the ride, you will be able to design the kind of future you want using the touch screen located in front of you. This is my kids favorite part!
At the end of the ride, you will exit into Project Tomorrow where you can interact with multiple exhibits including Body Builder, Power City, Innervision and Super Driver. If you don’t care to take the 16 minute ride on Spaceship Earth, you can enter Project Tomorrow from the backside of the ball.

Secrets/Tips and Tricks:

- At the beginning of the ride, it will take a photo of you. At the end of the ride, it uses this photo to put you into the future you choose. This ride photo can not be printed.

Although you can’t print the fun photo that is taken of you and your fellow rider, I’m pretty sure that you can send it to yourself or someone else via email at a kiosk in the post-ride area where all the games are – and you can catch your photo when they put it up on the big screen in the post-ride area, as well. This new interactive feature in each Spaceship Earth rider-car has transformed this ride for my kids (and my husband and I, as well!) Fun!
