food IS a theme park
We’ve been anxiously awaiting the grand opening of Space 220 in EPCOT!
Space 220
This super immersive, space-themed restaurant will allow guests to dine aboard a space station 220 miles above the Earth’s surface. The opening date has been pushed back several times, and we’ve been keeping a close eye out for any updates about when we’ll finally be able to enjoy our first meal in SPACE!

At this new EPCOT restaurant, guests will board an elevator that takes them into orbit as they travel to the Centauri Space Station above the Earth. While dining 220 miles above the Earth’s surface (hence the restaurant’s name!) guests will be treated to a full panoramic view of space!

We’ve been keeping a close eye on the progress of construction on Space 220, the new table-service restaurant and lounge coming to Epcot! The concept art for the new dining location shows off its next level theming. Upon entering, guests will board an elevator that takes them up into the spacecraft hovering above Earth, with “windows” showing the view below!
The unique concept has generated a lot of hype, and excited guests are eager for the chance to eat onboard Space 220. Construction has also been taking place for quite a while; the location was originally set to open last Winter. So, when Disney World reopens, will the opening of Space 220 follow close behind?
Since it was first announced, we’ve been SO excited for the chance to have our first meal at Space 220! But as much as we’re looking forward to our chance to dine in space…we’re also getting more and more worried about the restaurant’s timeline.

The restaurant will seat guests in a space-themed dining room that offers simulated views into space! For anyone who grew up wanting to be an astronaut, Space 220 is a dream come true! Or so we hope.
It’s true: Epcot’s Future World lost a dining location when Electric Umbrella closed its doors over the weekend. This expected closure came as just one part of the massive transformation currently taking place at Epcot.

And even as we say goodbye to some old haunts, we are MORE than excited about what’s to come, both in the years ahead and in the near future with one of the presumed highlights being the Space 220 Restaurant, currently under construction right by the Mission: SPACE attraction! [Read more…]
