From the last I’ve heard it was suposed to be closed by now leading me to think there holding off or there making changes to their plans.

Maybe they're holding off for a little while given the number of other headliners that are currently down (Splash Mountain, Kali River Rapids, Test Track starting 1/13) and/or were already supposed to be opened but have been delayed (e.g., Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway).

It won’t close when Test Track is under refurbishment.

My guess is it will not close until TT reopens from its short refurb so that Disney isn't taking away 2 ride options at once.
So late February...?

What?!?!?!?! Till when, I shouldn’t be mad because test track we have for a while, I guess I’ll get to see Spaceship Earth as is one more time or should I say every time I pass it next time I’m there.

I have two fast passes for early March for Spaceship Earth so I'm assuming and hoping it won't close until after that.

Once Test Track comes back on line at the end of February, we can likely count the days before SSE goes down for it's extended refurb.

Unless, they changed their mind about the redo and are just going to spend the money on an office party in the Bahama's on Iger's island.

They need enough open with FW west only having M:S open on that side they also extended JIYI hours to park close due to this situation.

Why do they need so much more time than in previous refurbs? I still don't get it
For SSE? The biggest changes since it was built.
I really hope they overlook the whole story telling concept during this time. Progress whether it’s technology or not is the only story that should be told in Spaceship Earth. But then who knows, the storytelling concept is coming from Chapek and I don’t have any faith that he really knows a thing about the parks or what are to come.

There's a long running 105 page thread on the changes and rumoured plans here: https://forums.wdwmagic.com/threads/spaceship-earth-refurb-2-year-closure.950493/page-105

I have a fast pass for February 29th, so hope it is true that it will still be running. I love the "old" ambience of SE and hope to see it again before it is changed!
