Patina Restaurant Group, in partnership with non-profit Give Kids The World, has helped raise $51,930 to support the wish trips of seriously ill children and their deserving families. These funds will be used to aid in the fulfillment of over 8,000 wishes in 2020.

In advance of the opening of Space 220 Restaurant, the highly anticipated new signature table-service location in Epcot at Walt Disney WorldResort, supporters of Give Kids The World were invited to bid on a prize package provided by Patina Restaurant Group that included dinner for two at the new restaurant.

Space 220 Restaurant is an immersive culinary experience that promises a journey like no other as guests are launched into the height of dining, a simulated 220 miles above Earth’s surface. Dinner will be served inside the Centauri Space Station, suspended in orbit directly above Mission: SPACE at Epcot. With stunning views and fantastic food, the prize winners will be privy to an evening that is truly out of this world. The dining portion of the package will be available for redemption following the restaurant’s opening.

“Patina Restaurant Group is honored to support Give Kids The World in their mission to create magical moments for wish families. The incredible work that they do is near and dear to our hearts, making them our local charity of choice here in Orlando. We look forward to welcoming the prize winners that helped make this all possible to our Space 220 Restaurant,” said Marketing Director, Kyle Collins, on behalf of Patina Restaurant Group and parent company, Delaware North.

By making a donation to Give Kids The World, supporters provided the means to help fulfill life-changing wish trips for seriously ill children and their families battling the unthinkable. These cost-free vacations are complete with accommodations, donated theme park tickets, meals, and more. The goal is to create an experience that inspires a renewed sense of hope and happiness that lasts long after each family returns home.

Ignorance is bliss.

I've been once. And only attempted once. Right at park opening I walked up to desk and reserved a lunch reservation for two. 🤷‍♂️ It was 2 weeks after the place opened.

They were just keeping the Future World pavilion restaurant tradition alive. Coral Reef is hidden back in a corner too and I bet a significant number of visitors have no idea it's even there. Considering they're not trying to attract walk-up diners, it probably doesn't really matter. As an aside, I just looked at the Coral Reef menu and it's awful. Not only is the menu too small -- 6 entree choices isn't enough -- but only having two fish options for a supposed seafood restaurant is pretty bad.

And each boss is tougher than the last to defeat.

It is quite hidden, what I don't get and didn't like was it takes 3 check points just to check in,,,its getting ridiculous all you have to go through just to get in to dine.

Is it just me or is this place kinda hidden ? I had to do a double take to actually find it.

I used TP for it also, and it wasn't good. In the same period, I got 1 text message (vs 30 or so from MW). Clicked it, it went to the general search page for Dining. MW sent me almost daily texts, which linked directly into the dining system for that specific reservation. Allowing me to get a reservation in seconds, vs minutes. It was worth the $15 or whatever for MW.

Another option, and it's free, is touring plans reservation finder. Just need an account, but not a paid subscription to use it. From Len Testa who is a poster here, so good people.

It really works.

Thank you, never knew about that site

As a local, I’ve given up hope I’ll ever get to experience it.

I couldn’t at all as an off property guest. I paid for mousewatcher.com and eventually got a lounge reservation and then finally, closer to my day, the restaurant. It’s cheap and they must have sent me 30 texts over a few months. Get the text, click it, pray, get it. Then you can keep waiting for a better time etc.

I thought Be Our Guest circa 2013 was a tough gig, but Space 220 is beyond.

I have been on property twice since this restaurant opened and still haven't been able to get a reservation.
