    A classic ride! Must see for anyone visiting Epcot! Hint: Go ride other things first, and come back later in the afternoon when lines are shorter.

    This ride is a classic and a must do at Epcot. Afternoon is usually the best time as the wait drops a bit after the morning rush.

    I love this ride, it's very educational and shows you how humanity started and how it has progressed. The line moves very fast, it should be the first ride you try!

    Love the moving journey through world history and the glimpse of various ancient civilizations. Look for the interactive component to engage everyone in their look to the future.

    Sit back, relax and thank the Phoenicians with Dame Judi in a lovely, immersive edutainment ride of the kind EPCOT Center did best back in the day.

    A must do at Epcot. A very neat ride and learning experience. Not 100% accurate, but don't sweat the small stuff. :) The end is amazing!

    Put shorter people in the front of the car and smile for the photo portion in the beginning. Fun result in the end. And don't worry, you can send the result to yourself by email after you exit.

    The best part if when you get stuck by the Ancient Greek part, and you have to hear that monologue again and again.

    almost an introductory course to historical Western Civilization, with eye grabbing animatronics and even scents awaiting one's visit. have always liked this ride--narrator Dame Judy Dench supports!

    This ride is so amazing. You totally feel like you're flying into space. Find time to wait and ride it.

    Very cute ride! Sort of like a rollercoaster without any of the falls. It's a continuous moving ride. We fastpassed it but I feel like the wait time in line wouldn't have been that bad.

    Make sure you look at screen when it takes your picture during ride. After ride is over come out quickly into big room & see your photo on the big screen.

    Go on multiple times and make a stupid face for the picture each time. That's what makes this ride fun! The line usually moves steadily enough for you to do that.

    This ride is a great introduction to a simplistic version of history. The computers at the end are fun too

    I love this ride. I'm constantly referencing all the information in it while my 7yo does her homework or if we're out. So fun and educational.

    Let's face it: this is not the best version of the ride's narration and finale. It was opened in '82 and was redone in '86, '94, and '07. So there's a new version to look forward to on the horizon!

    One of my favorite rides. But it is almost a sure bet that the ride will stall at some point during your ride.

    My 7 year old requested to ride this because she remembered it from her first trip. Who knew it would make such an impression. Educational but apparently very memorable!

    Make sure you smile during the 1st part of the ride as you’re going through the tunnel. You’ll use the picture taken here when you design your own future on the touch-screen at the end of the ride.

    Like a grand and miraculous spaceship, this ride is an awesome journey through time. Keep your eyes peeled for the hidden Mickeys when you are in the Rennaisance!

    To avoid long waits, don't make Spaceship Earth your first stop in the morning because it is the most popular in the morning. The wait will be shorter at any other part of the day.

    This was a highlight for our family. The kids loved it and talk about it to this day. Not for the claustrophobic.

    A slow ride with narrative of workd history. Could be done, if nothing else is available; or to kill some time between your scheduled shows.

    A nice calm ride with a fast line. But we miss the old days when Walter Cronkite was the narrator.

    The newly-refurbished Spaceship Earth provides an amazing journey through the history and future of communication. With a new interactive finish, see how bright the future looks for you!

    Icon of Epcot, it still does the job of past through to future in very valid process.

    Take off your sunglasses before the ride takes your photo, or don't if you want a weird looking image later in the ride x

    Be sure in the beginning to be prepared for ur pic 2b taken. Also little kids give them a boost otherwise u can't seem them!

    Give your craziest face possible when they snap your photo at the beginning of the ride. It makes the interactive portion later on even better.

    Any hat, glasses or headbands on your head when you get your picture will cause the top of your head to disappear in your future.

    Skip this in the morning and come back to it at the end of the night. Walk faster then other people & get to Soarin' first.

    This ride is hysterical if you DON'T press English as your language! It translates the whole ride into Japanese, German, portuguese, etc! Fun!

    Make sure to make make silly faces for your photo. It makes the little video at the end of the ride so much better.
