4:38pm - Spaceship Earth was showing a 10 minute wait but was paused as we got in line.
4:45pm - Onboard, so slightly better than 10 minutes. Cast Members were manually closing the doors.
We stopped just past the Roman scene for almost 10 minutes
The we stopped again at the garage scene.
After close to 15 minutes the lights came on and they announced that we were going to be walked off. We were almost at the top.
This was my view as I waited to be let out.
Looking back.
Cast members started at the top and were working their way toward us.
Starting the walk down as cast members let more guests out ahead of us
Some pictures as we walked down.
At this point we walked through a door backstage to go down the steps and through a series of hallways to reach the exit.
5:41pm - Reached the exit, one of my longest Spaceship Earth visits for sure..
We were each given a Lightning lane - Select Experience on the way out.
The details of the experience
The choices were the old FastPass Tier 1 attractions
None of the other attractions were eligible.
5:47pm - 25 minute wait posted for the Living with the Land Glimmering Greenhouses
Two of us could have used our Lightning Lane from Spaceship Earth but we did not want to leave the rest so got in line.
As we waited the LL return backed up and started to fill an extended queue area
The queue behind us filled in too with standby
6:15pm - Past the merge point finally.
6:18pm - Boarding a boat, so just over a 30 minute wait due to the LL backup.
Pictures from the Glimmering Greenhouses. I posted a video on a previous visit if you missed that.
Walked through the World Celebration Gardens
More lights were not working properly today
Looks like they are preparing for some concrete work as you walk toward World Showcase
Passing by Canada again
Found a table in France for a snack
The wait at the bakery was average tonight
