Remember how Pirates of the Caribbean and the Haunted Mansion at Disney parks became movies? Disney is trying to recreate the magic with a show in development about... the Spaceship Earth attraction at Epcot in Florida's Disney World.

According to a new report from Lesley Goldberg at The Ankler, the Disney Kids & Family department is developing a "potential series" built around Spaceship Earth from Avengers: Doomsday co-writer and Disney+'s Loki series creator, Michael Waldron. Here's what Goldberg wrote:

"[Disney Kids & Family president Ayo] Davis’ division more recently handed out a pilot order for Spaceship Earth, a potential series based on the domed attraction at Disney World’s Epcot Center. That project hails from Michael Waldron — the creative behind Hulu’s Chad Powers and the Disney+ Marvel series Loki (he’s also co-writer on December’s highly anticipated Avengers: Doomsday) — after he approached executives at 20th Television and Walt Disney Imagineering with the idea for a show exploring his love of Epcot. 20th TV, where Waldron is based with an overall deal, brought the project to Davis’ division."

I haven't been to Epcot since there was a Bush in the White House, and all I remember was the shaggy computer man from the final stop of the ride, who my dad reasoned was Bill Gates coding (the man is actually unnamed). But if anyone can make a Spaceship Earth show work, it's Michael Waldron.
