Earlier rumors pointed to Space 220 Restaurant opening on October 1 at EPCOT, but we now know the unique new dining location will open sometime in mid-September. An exact date has not been announced.
Space 220 Restaurant has been under construction for years but was delayed multiple times even before the COVID-19 closure.
Watch Zach Riddley’s Instagram video from inside the restaurant above. Below is Zach’s full description of Space 220 from Disney Parks Blog.
The Space 220 restaurant is located adjacent to the Mission: SPACE attraction, and takes fine dining to a whole new level. Your immersive experience begins as you check in to the Space 220 Departure Lounge in Future World. From here, you’ll board one of two “Space Elevators” that will transport you in what seems like 220 miles above Earth to Centauri Space Station. As you begin your ascent, you’ll look down through a viewport to see EPCOT shrink away; looking up you’ll see the Space Station come into view.
Once you’ve docked, you’ll head through the Centauri Space Station-themed dining area. Inside the dining area, you’ll experience a panoramic view of Earth below, and a variety of work and leisure activities taking place beyond the windows of the Space Station-themed restaurant.
And the views are just part of the experience. Our Disney Imagineers are excited to have created this experience for Executive Chef Marc Kusche to showcase his culinary wonders. The Space 220 restaurant menu will feature stellar dishes and gourmet recipes, with a two-course prix fixe menu for lunch, and a three-course prix fixe menu for dinner. The upscale, contemporary fare will bring new meaning to “the height of dining!” Rounding out the meal will be unique beverages – from fine wine to atmospheric cocktails and more.

I need this
This thing makes so much more sense than Galactic Starcruiser. Plus they can do anything, not just Space. Like being inside the Coral Reef, being in the Amazon Jungle, Being on Mars or the Moon. Really, anything.
Nice!
I there any information on the menu and prices yet? Not that I will be going soon, just curious…..
I still say the place should have been called “Mission Plate”
Any updates? We are definitely under 60 days from the time frame of Mid September through October 1st and still no ability to make reservations.
