Spaceship Earth Closing Date ?
I am aware that Disney have announced that they are closing Spaceship Earth for a refurbishment this year but I can’t find an actual date for the closure anywhere. I believe that they said early this year but we are going to be in Epcot late April and hopefully it’s still open then. Anyone in the know have a rough idea as to when they will be closing it?

The only thing that I can find is that it is likely to be after Test Track reopens (end of Feb) as they don't want two big attractions out at the same time. However, no official announcement.

As above, there's no official date when it will close. So it's all guess work at the moment.
Considering there were rumours about Spaceship Earth closing sometime last year - which didn't happen - I wouldn't put a huge amount of trust in any current rumours regarding the closure date. It does make sense that it won't close until after Test Track reopens but other than that, it's a bit of a guess. I personally think it's unlikely it'll be open in late April but who knows!

If they did refurbish Spaceship Earth...how long typically is it expected to be shut? (judging on approx how long other rides have been shut for refurb)
We go Aug 2020 and it's only of our fave old school rides

This is a different type of refurb than the usual. It's not just a bit of maintenance - Disney are going to renew and retheme it. It's therefore going to be closed for at least 18 months and probably 2 years. It has been said it will reopen in time for Epcot's 40th anniversary in 2022.
I do not expect Spaceship Earth to be open when I visit in August.

Oh flip! I forgot about this possible closure, don't suppose it will still be open when I go in November. Fingers crossed refurb is delayed
