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

[Kamikaze]

All the food in the Space Restaurant will be raw potatoes grown in human feces.

I'd be okay with that.

However, I'd be much more interested in the technology where they grow potatoes that aren't raw.

 

[Kamikaze]

So I'm assuming a late 2019 opening for this?

Before SW:GE. Probably.

Early preview of Space Restaurant dining...

This is WDW. You're more likely to get...

as an entree, and

for dessert

Looks like a different view of the Mission: Space wing that was discussed a few pages back.

Yep. If you go this area next to Mission Space at night you can see inside this wing and it looks gutted down to metal on the walls.

It's not gutted, but was never finished.

Probably. Was meant to be around 15 months away but seems to have slipped slightly.

This. Concrete floors. Mezzanine balcony with no handrails. Steel open staircase. Unfinished walls. And an oddly complete elevator. It’s a bit dirty and dusty but a fascinating snapshot from 2003.

Would this likely be included as part of the Restaurant, perhaps the entrance?

That’s it exactly. Remodelled of course.

What you describe sounds show-ready for a NASA restaurant. “Step far into the future to experience the 2020 American space program!”

ADRs open tomorrow at 7 am?

Ah, good deal, that makes sense.

where was the Horizons GE lounge? Was it under Horizons on the right side of the building? I remember seeing pictures a long time ago but can't recall. This restaurant update just made me think of it.

Upstairs in the front of the Horizons building.

No matter how many pictures I see, the land looks tiny for this restaurant. Always good when you find a spare unused building that you can use too lol

 

[Walt d]

This was the best surprise of the D23 panel. I'm excited to eat in space! So, no IP for this one?

It's sort of a budget-conscious way to get that "I'm living in space" feel for an hour or so. Will cost a lot less than the Star Wars resort.

Watch it when they go weightles you can toss your cookies In there..

The writing sounds like its in the amazon and an undiscovered Aztec ruin. Its not a surprise or an uncovered building.

The Lost Lounge of the Spacians was discovered by satellite two decades ago. Only now have explorers been able to reach it.

That'll probably be on the dessert menu... "Tossed Cookies -- a delicious assortment of pre-chewed and moistened baked goodies, complete with your choice of a small energy drink or water. Only $12.95 per person (emesis bag required; sold separately)"
