Spaceship Earth Wait Times
Journey through the history of human communication inside EPCOT's iconic geodesic sphere. This slow-moving Omnimover dark ride ascends through scenes from cave paintings to the printing press to the internet age, featuring detailed sets and audio-animatronic figures narrated by Dame Judi Dench. The 15-minute ride is quintessential EPCOT — educational, beautifully crafted, and endlessly fascinating. The descent includes an interactive touchscreen where you design your vision of the future. Often a walk-on during mid-afternoon.
