Disney has today announced that Space 220 will open in mid-September 2021 at Walt Disney World's EPCOT.
The Space 220 restaurant menu will feature a two-course prix fixe menu for lunch, and a three-course prix fixe menu for dinner, created by Executive Chef Marc Kusche.
Here is Imagineer Zach Riddley taking us inside Space 220.
Space 220, which was originally planned to open in 2019 has seen numerous construction delays prior to COVID, and then more delays related to construction restrictions during COVID-19 as mitigation measures were in place.
In a rare look inside shared by Disney last year, we see some of the two tier dining room seating, along with a look out of the viewports back towards Earth - courtesy of a massive 250ft projection screen that will wrap around the restaurant.
The adventure begins when a crew member invites guests to step inside the restaurant’s space elevator and prepare for liftoff. Guests will feel as if they are on a scenic excursion traveling 220 miles directly above Earth's surface, docking at the Centauri Space Station suspended just beyond the orbit of Mission: SPACE. Upon their arrival at the restaurant, guests will be guided to their seats past the grow zone, a spinning wall of produce that mimics Earth’s gravity and represents some of the fresh ingredients used by the culinary team.
Space 2020 is located adjacent to Mission: SPACE on the right-hand side of the pavilion.
