NEWS: Construction Begins on EPCOT’s NEW Spaceship Earth Lounge

We’re almost ready for liftoff.

EPCOT

Last year, it was announced that a brand new lounge was coming to EPCOT’s Spaceship Earth in 2025. According to Disney, the new eatery is “inspired by the stories, shapes, and enduring legacy of this timeless icon.” We hadn’t really seen many signs that work had started on this new spot despite 2025 already being here — until now.

On our most recent trip to EPCOT, we took a closer look at the visible construction of the project. The lounge is going to be located in the structure at the exit of the Spaceship Earth attraction, which sits behind the iconic sphere. This area formerly housed a corporate sponsor lounge, as well as other exhibits.

Currently, construction walls wrap around the building as work progresses towards the location’s opening, which is scheduled for the “late spring” of this year.

In December of 2024, Disney provided some further details on the location. According to an updated description, the lounge will honor the “intertwined history of Spaceship Earth and EPCOT itself” and “celebrate the legacy of the icon’s past while admiring its future.”

Disney also promised “delicious culinary creations” specially designed for the location, as well as a design that provides “breathtaking views of the park” including its nightly fireworks display. We know one thing for sure, we can’t wait to check out the views, eats, and drinks from the new Spaceship Earth lounge. We’ll be bringing you a FULL LOOK and review as soon as it’s open!
