Despite construction work progressing slowly on the project, Disney has just released further details on the upcoming space-themed restaurant coming to Epcot, which appears to be opening ahead of schedule! Check out all the details below!
Dining team, this is Mission Control. You are clear for 2019 entry into the new space-themed restaurant coming to Epcot at Walt Disney World.
That’s right, the new table-service experience will open later this year adjacent to the Mission: SPACE attraction! No dining experience on Earth can match what’s in store, because this new restaurant will take you into outer space for incredible dining experiences that are “out of this world.”
Patina Restaurant Group will operate the new restaurant, and they’ve developed a menu that features internationally-inspired cuisine, more than 1,000 bottles of the world’s finest wines, and a wide selection of craft beer to be housed in their very own “Space Cellar”.
Recent job postings were put up by Patina Restaurant Group looking to hire European candidates for the Cultural Representative Program revealed either the restaurant’s name or codename, Space 220.
The gist is that much like the International Space Station (ISS), the restaurant will also be manned by an international crew. The new space-themed restaurant will make guests feel as if they are actually traveling through space via the use of a 250-foot-long digital screen wrapping around the curved room. This technology is similar to the screens used at the One World Trade Center and the Burj Khalifa in Dubai.
