Epcot

Experiment 626

New Member
My husband worked for a company that casts aluminum. The company made small versions of the epcot ball to be used on railings in WDW. I was wondering if anyone knew where they might be. We wanted to see them but didn't know where to look. I want to find out where they are so next time we go we can find them.

Welcome to WDWMagic! :wave:

You're referring to small versions of Spaceship Earth (the shiny triangular-faced ball that is the icon of EPCOT)? I don;t recall them being used on railings anywhere in EPCOT. Were they flat circles, or were they three-dimensional spheres? How big?

Perhaps the OP is referring to the new fence they added to the entrance at Epcot to herd you to the bag check from the bus stops? They incorporated the EPCOT Center logo.

It was and it was awesome! I'm going back in December for11 days, but I'm taking my parents for a week of Disney Christmas (a promise made long ago in high school LOL) But, I'm leaving a few days ahead of time just to have some solo time beforehand! :D:sohappy:

Have a great trip! Can't wait to hear about it.

Yes I was refering to spaceship earth....sorry. They were three dimensional and a little bigger than a grapefruit. My husband thinks they were going to be used in a hotel but it has been a few years since he made them. And maybe for some reason they didn't use them. Thanks for trying to answer my question.

About how many years?

If I recall correctly, the ball at the top of the staff of the Sage of Time in Tapestry of Nations (started in 1999) was fashioned after Spaceship Earth...though maybe not. Don't have a decent picture...

Other than that, I don't think I've seen any mini-Spaceship Earths hanging around Epcot anywhere...and I know that park pretty well (perhaps too well :) )
