It’s another Tiggerific Trivia Tuesday hosted by Jodi at Magical Mouse Schoolhouse, Mike at My Dreams of Disney, and Heidi at Heidi’s Head.  This is one of my favorite blog hops because I get to learn about cool facts about Disney related topics.  I like to keep my Disney topics in the parks.  I took a look at The Haunted Mansion last week.  This week, I’m going to take a monorail ride over to EPCOT and look at the iconic Spaceship Earth.

Lots of the little known facts about Spaceship Earth aren’t little known any more.  However, I found something out about the post-ride area of the attraction that I didn’t know about.  I even had a parent who worked for one of the companies who could have taken advantage of this little known fact and perk.

There is a VIP Lounge above the post attraction area where employees of Siemens, the attraction sponsor, and the guests can go.  This small lounge is curved (it still is in Spaceship Earth – it’s hard for something for NOT to be curved) and overlooks the park.  Siemens employees have been able to enjoy this perk since Siemens took over the sponsorship of Spaceship Earth since 2005.  Before that, AT&T employees, the previous sponsor, and their guests could use the lounge.  When the attraction was unsponsored, the lounge was used for weddings.

EDIT: A reader, who is an employee at Siemens,  provided me a link to a blog post that he wrote talking about his experiences with this area
