Various shots of Spaceship Earth. For the new year celebration the beautiful fountain in front of the ride was removed and cement slabs featuring photgraphs were placed around the sphere, as seen in the top right picture.

Some of my fondest Disney memories are staring at the beauty of the Spaceship Earth sphere - before Disney performed Illuminations, my dad used to scheduele us at the Italian restaurant as late as possible. When we would get out from dinner, the park would be completely empty, since it would be post-closing time. The music would be playing, the fountains would be going; it was as if we owned the park.
