Disney to transform Spaceship Earth into Star Wars’ Death Star during after-hours event

Disney to transform Spaceship Earth into Star Wars' Death Star during after-hours event rogueone

The Disney Parks Blog posted an interesting story this morning, sharing that Spaceship Earth at Epcot will be transformed into a giant Death Star at an exclusive meet-up event.



The event will be held on December 5 to celebrate the December 15 release of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and unfortunately, is already filled to capacity. The party will be held after hours at Epcot and had a limited availability, so space filled quickly after being announced.

A few years ago, Spaceship Earth was turned into a giant Mike Wazowski (Monsters, Inc.) during a press event, so the projection technology has been used before.  Despite not getting to see these effects in person, I’m looking forward to seeing photos of Spaceship Earth as the Death Star and wondering if this is something we will continue to see in the future.
