Epcot Mission SpaceTip Of The Week

If only some of the members of your traveling party will be experiencing Mission: SPACE, those choosing not to ride can still wait inside the Mission: SPACE pavilion. Those guests can walk around to the side of the building and enter through the exit doors. While you are waiting for the rest of your group, you can enjoy interactive games, send a postcard from space, and little ones can try out the Space Base indoor playground.
