EPCOT Space 220 Restaurant dining experience at Epcot's Future World

A post in 2013 stated it cost $195 per person not including tax but including gratuity. Got you a solid 2 and a half hours in the ride though. It would definitely have different pricing for large events instead of a per-ticket basis.

Another post back in 2012 stated it cost $165 per person plus tax. This post includes a live band. View attachment 451678
Wow.
There are fireworks desert parties costing half this now, and I’d find the ride event much more of a unique experience...

Oh, yea! Everyone can witness the same firework show, you're just guaranteed a decent view, but you cannot walk on Great Movie Ride track unless you're like the guy on the CoP. You cannot spend an hour soaking up the environment with a old-timey band. If GMR still existed I would be pained to fork over the money, but I would definitely do it at least once.

An extremely unique experience to say the least.

Well, I guess "Winter 2020" means "December 21, 2020". Only Disney could take 3 years to build a restaurant. (Hyperbole intended, just to get out ahead of the "well actually..." people.)
Hoover Dam? 5 years.
Magic Kingdom? 18 months
Empire State Building? 2 years
Space 220? TBD

What changed here to allow this view?
Nothing.
They temporarily have removed the vegetation between WoL and MS for construction on the new Play Disney experience.

I’m sure they will replace it.

For what it’s worth, you’ve always been able to see the structure from one angle or another...

Would this be the result of a vegetation move? It looks to be part of the structure of MS, not WoL… or am I visualizing this wrong.

The structure was pretty well hidden by vegetation. So, you technically could have always "seen" it, but the plants were in the way. I am a bit surprised they wouldn't at least scrim it, given how unfinished that part is. But, it does seem they are budget cutting where possible now. So, an easy cut to approve there.

So this is still a thing, right? They are still planning to open, someday? Maybe? 😉
Seriously, though, do we have any menu info yet? All I can recall is signature dining with an extensive wine list. I'm on board for this, but would love a little more info.

I’m kind of getting a feeling this won’t be open when we go in August. I just feel like we had significantly more info leading up to the opening of the BBQ joint that just opened in the American pavilion

Disney Food Blog is reporting that the flatware used here will be Tilia by Studio William.

Are customers going to have to go through security before exiting via space elevator to ensure nothing was stolen everyone's safety?

Individual pieces sell for $16-$24.

They know the flatware but not the menu? What is going on with this place?

Also, I smell a likely GE spork removal situation...

This is table service. Servers will bus the table removing empty plates and tableware. They'll notice if something is missing. This is opposed to the Star Wars spork issue where guests bussed their own tables making pocketing the spork oh so easy.

Also, this will be a high-price restaurant. Many of the guests at this restaurant can afford their own fancy tableware.

I plan to dine there approximately 24 times and take one piece flatware each visit. I'm sure after spending several thousand dollars it will make the $500 set really worthwhile.
