Space 220 has finally opened next to Mission: SPACE in EPCOT. Join us as we hop aboard the Stellarvator and tour the restaurant 220 miles above Earth.
With no reservations available for the first week, a huge crowd formed outside the restaurant this morning.
Only walk-ins will be accepted through September 26. Reservations are now available from September 27 onward.
There was a brief opening ceremony.
The stage was then quickly dismantled before guests were allowed forwards.
The entrance to Space 220 is to the right of the Mission: SPACE entrance.
Guests were finally allowed to line up not long after the park officially opened at 11:00 AM.
There’s a counter around the corner for check-in.
After checking in, there is a courtyard and lobby to wait in before boarding the Stellarvator.
Here is where the space theming really kicks off.
The walls show how Space 220 will “elevate your dining.”
In-story, this is what Space 220 looks like.
Look out for standard signage with an astronaut twist throughout the restaurant.
Guests are giving boarding passes for the elevator.
There are two elevators.
Cast Members lead guests onto an elevator when it arrives.
Guests can watch their journey from Earth to the Centauri Space Station.
A “Living With the Land”-esque rotating garden can be seen aboard the space station.
The restrooms are themed as well.
The signage depicts the standard stick figures as astronauts.
Signs reassure guests that vacuum systems are in place to contain waste in the event that the artificial gravity fails.
We were seated and ready to dine. Look out for our full lunch review, coming soon.
The view out the windows onto Earth offers fun sights.

Just an informative comment more than anything. I tried to make a reservation for this restaurant for October beginning at 12 am today (opening day) then tried again at 6:15 am. Both times it couldn’t be done as it kept saying nothing available, which I knew had to be an error. I called right at 7 am to book and they said the wait time on the phone would be over 2 hours. And it was I waited over 3 hours to get through to someone, which was unsuccessful as the call just randomly hung up (mind you I didn’t move from my spot to a spotty reception either). I have tried multiple times online to book and it still keeps saying the same thing. I have even tried different dates and still says the same thing for those dates; nothing is available. I find it hard to believe it’s sold out for the whole month of October already considering I made a solid endeavor at the start of the day and throughout the day. In short, Disney needs to develop a better system that works consistently well. Waiting over 3 hours to get to speak to someone is not great customer service. Whatsmore, the wait time hasn’t changed throughout the day. The online reso system still isn’t working either for any date in October and November as it still states nothing is available for lunch or dinner.
a menu in the article would have been nice.
The menu has its own post, it’s also in the reviews and on the DisneyWorld.com website.
