Disney has revealed that a new lounge inspired by the iconic Spaceship Earth will open its doors at EPCOT just before summer 2025 in late Spring.

Located in the former corporate lounge overlooking World Celebration, the new space will be inspired by the geometric sphere.

Disney says the zen space for families to gather and enjoy refreshments will be draped with rich textures and warm metallic tones, giving it a mysterious and elegant intimacy.

Absolutely true. This is the inspiration received straight from the EPCOT Coloring Book. (Appropriate for Ages 2-10)

Consultants need not ride the attraction because "books make it easier to invent the future in every field." They can just read about it.

Great to see the Gensler Lounge is taking shape nicely. Too bad they couldn't find any inspiration from inside SSE to gussy up the lounge a tad. But I'm sure the consultants working on the design have never even set foot inside SSE.

The best they can do is an 8oz bottle of water and a 1oz bag of pretzels. Anything more would harm the bottom line.

It’ll be interesting to see if the next version of SSE gets a sponsor. That company’s employees wouldn’t have a private lounge to enjoy, but maybe a front of the line pass to this one?

I've seen more places in the $10 million+ range than under it for sale, but I wasn't 100% sure if that was only because the bigger houses were on the market more often.

Yes but then there are HOA fees, mandatory purchases, Mickey mouse surcharges and fee fees.........

I believe the new Ft Wilderness DVC Camping Area will come in at just under that amount... (not including closing costs, enhanced experiences, and annual dues).

The last time homes in Golden Oak cost 1.5 million, I'm barely sure Obama was president. Average cost is probably five times that now minimum.

Yep. People should remember that Disney tends to use meteorological seasons, since they are hard-and-fast definitions. "Early summer" means sometime after June 21, and what better time than just before the now-slow July 4 week to try and drum up business?
