My opinion of the Spaceship Earth ride at Epcot…

• It’s definitely an intense experience, so come prepared. 
• They offer two different experience levels, which is nice for those who are prone to motion sickness or are not in good health. . 
• Super realistic. Loved how real the space shuttle experience felt.

What is Mission Space at Epcot?

Mission Space is a simulated flight experience that makes you feel like you’re in a space shuttle that’s flying to Mars. 

It’s interactive, so expect to complete some maneuvers during your space mission 🙂

This ride starts with a pre-show walk through. 

There you’ll learn about what astronauts go through for space training. 

There are two different space missions rides that you can go on. 

One is the Orange Mission that is going to Mars. This mission is a way more intense flight simulator, so please be aware that you will feel like you are spinning in this mission. 

Alternatively, you can go on the Green Mission, which is less intense and better suited as a family-friendly ride. 

You’ll still feel like you are moving though. In this mission, you’ll be orbiting the earth. 

Again, for those with health or motion sickness problems, choose the Green Mission ride or be ready with some motion sickness bags for the Orange Mission.

The fastest way to this ride is through Epcot’s main entrance. This is where your resort bus shuttle or Disney’s Monorail will drop you off.

After you enter, walk past the Epcot ball (ie, Spaceship Earth) along the left side. 

Pass Guardians of the Galaxy ride and continue until you get to the World Discovery section of the park. 

Once in World Discovery, hang a left and look for signs to Mission Space or Space220. They are next to each other. 

You’ll pass a quick service restaurant called Connections along the way if you want a bite to eat. 

If you enter through Epcot’s International Gateway entrance (via Disney Skyliners), you’ll have to walk through the World Showcase and pass the Test Track ride. 

After that, Mission Space will be on the right.

Disney dining tips from Jenna Loves Magic

Remember: for any sit-down dinner or character meal, I recommend to definitely book 60 days out, or whenever your Disney dining dates open. 

If you’re staying on site, you can book dining reservations earlier as a perk. 

Don’t have reservations? Check regularly during your trip, on the app, or walk up to the restaurant early in the day and request a day-of reservation. Disney reservations are often dropped day-of since sometimes people “hoard them”. 

I once was a walk-up and was told there would be a 90 minute wait for a table at Steakhouse 71. 

Not a problem, since it’s an interesting hotel to walk around and they have an arcade. 

Anyways, within 5 minutes my reservation was ready because someone canceled. So you never know.
