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

If WoL isnt being used for this restaurant could it be Innoventions East? And if not any mention on the future Innoventions as a whole?

It's already been discussed that it will go between Test Track and Mission: Space connecting to the latter.

This will be really cool! I'm very excited for this addition. It also gives more depth to Mission: Space as space pavilion. After all, I believe we are losing Electric Umbrella. Future World will need another restaurant. I just wonder if it is strictly table service or if it will be a fast casual experience.

I see its been discussed but has it been confirmed?

The restaurant has been confirmed (announced at the D23 Parks & Resorts Panel). @marni1971 gave us the location, and he's rarely wrong.

Anyone remember that movie zenon girl of the 21st century on the Disney channel? This is exactly what it reminds me of!

 

[MOXOMUMD]

Yes and correct

Was the "220" clue based on the international space station orbit is approximately 220 miles above Earth?

@marni1971 I really enjoy your hints and it's fun to see how things played out. Thank you for keeping us in the loop!. I'm really curious about the comments you made about Epcot before D23. You said something like "something great, some ok things, and some really concerning things".

I think this restaurant falls under the "something great" category. With the announcements that were made can you share what things you thought were most concerning?

I guess this is somewhat off topic but did anyone else see that piece of concept art for future world? Looked to me like there were a few new buildings and the innovention buildings were gone. It's somewhat reminds me of Tomorrowland in Shanghai. I would think that new shops, restaurants, and experiences would be in this area as well. I just can't find any thread discussing this so I thought this would be the most appropriate.

 

[Notes from Neverland]

This was unexpected for me. Very cool idea. If done well, it could be a really awesome experience.

I LOVED that movie as a kid!

Martin said it would be attached to Mission Space, so I am guessing it will use this space...

Is it really going to use all that space and not just the unfinished, unused HP Lounge

 

[Flynnwriter]

Sound out of this world!!! Can't wait!

 

[Captain Barbossa]

I will be looking forward to eating there.

Finally making use of that old VIP lounge I guess for starters. 2 floors and an elevator all for nothing. Not enough for the entire restaurant but at least the lobby maybe.

 

[Jabbas]

Is there an opening date/year for this?

 

[Hakunamatata]

My concern. Gotg and a hulked up MS makes me think that there is a transformation to a larger space based area. TT already has overplayed with more modern/futuristic. So where does this leave SSE? I have a weird feeling that we are going to see SSE change from a history of communication to a non specific IP based thrill ride of some form or fashion.

 

[MOXOMUMD]

I'm so thrilled about this! It's about time they got an outer space reastaurant at Epcot! I wonder what kind of food they will serve

 

[mhaftman7]

How great would it be if it was named Axiom and "sponsored" by Buy N Large. Probably would condemn it to a buffet, but who knows.

I thought i was maybe too excited about this one, glad to see i am not alone
