Space 220 is a space restaurant at Epcot's Mission: SPACE pavilion.[1]
It was originally scheduled to open in Fall 2019, but it was delayed multiple times to October 1, 2021, until it changed to September 20, 2021 as part of Walt Disney World's 50th anniversary celebration, since the opening was postponed indefinitely following the closure of the park, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[2]
Summary[]
Space 220 takes guests on a culinary journey into the stars. Taking a space elevator (or Stellarvator) on a 220 mile, 10,000 miles per hour journey up to the Centauri Space Station, guests can enjoy fine dining with panoramic day and night views of the Earth through the station's viewports.[3]
Trivia[]
- The restaurant contained several easter-eggs:
- While on the stellarvator, Spaceship Earth is visible.
- The rotating gardens aboard the Centauri Space Station might reference the rotating space-craft room from Horizons, an attraction which previously took up the pavilion where Space 220 is located.
- Occasionally, the International Space Training Center's X-2 Deep Space Shuttle from Mission: SPACE is visible from the window, passing by the restaurant.
- Two of the astronauts visible from outside the window can be seen fighting with lightsabers from Star Wars. Another can be seen playing with a toy X-Wing Fighter.
- The Stellarvator might be a modern retry of Disneyland's old Rocket to the Moon attraction, which was said to take Guests to the Moon and back to Earth in a similar manner.
