The structure of the pavilion itself remained unchanged until 1999, when a large Mickey hand holding a wand was added to the top of Spaceship Earth <ref name= "lost2"> http://www.lostepcot.com/spaceshipearth.html </ref>. The wand was dedicated "2000" in celebration of the new millennium, before the dedication was changed to "Epcot" in 2001 <ref name= "lost2"/>. The Mickey hand and wand remained atop Spaceship Earth until it was removed in 2007, just in time for Epcot's 25th anniversary<ref name= "lost2"/>.
On October 1, 2021, Disney unveiled Spaceship Earth's new "Points of Light" lighting package <ref> https://www.wdwmagic.com/attractions/spaceship-earth/news/30sep2021-a-look-at-spaceship-earths-new-points-of-light.htm </ref>. As a part of these changes, nearly 2000 LED lights were added to the pavilion's exterior, allowing Spaceship Earth's reflective panels to illuminate with light. Throughout the night, a special Beacon of Magic sequence is also performed on Spaceship Earth, featuring a unique narration and different light displays.
