Here is a recent aerial view of the upcoming Space restaurant set to open in Epcot's Future World.

Epcot Space Restaurant construction - June 2019

When it opens in late 2019, expect to see some elaborate special effects as part of the experience, including a 250ft projection screen that will wrap around the restaurant. Seating will be on two tiers, along with a lounge.

Located between Mission: SPACE and Test Track in Future World, the new space restaurant will be operated by the Patina Restaurant Group.

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.
