SPACE RESTAURANT WATCH THREAD—Entrance photos post #1609!!

[SamFaniam]

Everything we know about Space 220:

• It will be in Epcot near Mission Space
• It will open in 2019 Winter 2020 March 30, 2020 Some point in the future (There has been absolutely nothing confirmed regarding when it will open)
• It will appear as if you were dining in space
• It will have food
• It will have lots of beer/wine (more than 1,000 bottles of the world’s finest wines and a wide selection of craft beer)
• It will have an elevator ("a special space elevator that will ascend to the stars! Along the way, viewports will give you an aerial view of Epcot as you travel high above the planet.")
• It will be ran by the Patina Group

Everything we don't know about Space 220:

• Exact date it will open, or even month for that matter at this point
• When it will take ADR (This includes not knowing if it will be before or after it opens)
• What the menu will be (other than it will feature "modern American cuisine"
• The cost (including dining credits)

Think that covers it.

So maybe I have missed it with all the mirth, but I will be there in April. Would this restaurant be like any restaurant that just takes walk up seating, or can you get a reservation at the beginning of the day?

see above

Thanks, I thought that I had read people mention that other new restaurants opened initially without ADRs. So for restaurants that did open without ADRs were they just walk up, or could you make reservations early in the day?

And Tang

And for an additional $10, children 10 and older can have Alcoholic Tang

The most recent new restaurant at Epcot, Takumi-Tei, had a soft opening were they were just walk-up for a couple of weeks. But, there has been no Disney official information about how Space 220 might open.

And you don't even want to know what the restrooms are like...

"When you're in space, no one can hear you poop"

I’m there the last week of April. Fingers crossed that they get their act together

Same here, this is the one place we all want to eat.

Actually, it would be super cool if somehow something can "malfunction" and the entire restaurant can lose its gravity field, and then everyone and everything starts randomly floating!!

I sure hope it isn't "BOG" popular as I've been trying for 6 years and still haven't scored a dinner reservation.

I actually think this could be worse than BoG - especially if the opening date gets delayed enough times

For Skipper Canteen, you could make reservations early in the day.

Dessert options ?

We can all feel free to overindulge on drinks and dessert, because you weigh less in space!

 

[tinkerhon]

How many delays do we need before the restaurant is worthy of a "Rumors of Light" moniker? So many good possibilities! Space 2022 ? No Space? And my personal favorite (complete with restaurant staff ....

6 years?!? It really isn’t that hard to get a reservation there. Have you tried the Touring Plans reservation finder?

FWIW - I am able to find a BOG breakfast or lunch resv every trip I go. Since they changed the DINNER to 2 dining credits, with a menu that doesn't appeal to me, I haven't even tried to book that. At best, the original 1 credit Lunch and Dinner was mediocre, but it was always fun to just eat there - that space is fabulous. The food, IMO, is only "eh..." YMMV, as some really like it. For me, I can get my "BEAST CASTLE FIX" with breakfast or lunch.

same here - haven't gone since the change, but last few times we booked prior, was easier for us to get BoG than Sci-Fi or Beaches and Cream

At least the new signage is going up, so they are making progress !

Sparce - Just like the amount of official information Disney has released!

 

[tinkerhon]

This could have lead to the broken glass ! Last time Iger is allowed to throw a soft-opening staff party !!

I know BOG is popular but this just blows my mind. We went at the very end of 2012, in 2015, and we're going next month and we've gotten a dinner reservation every single trip. We must have great Disney luck or something.
