===Global Neighborhood & The New Global Neighborhood (1994-2007)===
In 1994, after renewing their sponsorship , AT&T decided to replace Earth Station with a new postshow called the Global Neighborhood. Located within the Global Neighborhood were five interactive exhibits:

* Interactive Wonderland- This exhibit focused on the future of television. The Cheshire Cat from Disney's Alice in Wonderland would react to various voice commands by guests. The idea of the exhibit was that one day, "you can watch movies, play interactive games and shop - all on your TV screen." <ref name= "post"> http://www.intercot.com/edc/SpaceshipEarth/spglobal.html </ref>
* Story-Teller Phone- This interactive exhibit allowed guests to make a phone call while choosing background noises from various exotic places<ref name= "post"/>.
* Ride the AT&T Network- This motion simulator allowed guests to "cruise on AT&T's fiber optic information superhighway". The ride showed guests just how much information is was flowing through the AT&T network! <ref name= "post"/>
In 1999 the postshow was renamed the "New Global Neighborhood". The only major change was that the AT&T Network simulator was replaced by a neon tree. The floor beneath the tree was transparent allowing guests to see its roots <ref name= "post"/> <ref name= "book"/>.
