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

space two two oh?
space two two zero?
space two twenty?
space two hundred twenty?

220 miles

I wonder how many here get the reference...?
Surprised I didn’t think of it, actually...maybe because I use it too often in my everyday life...?!!!!!

220 miles is often cited as the altitude that the International Space Station orbits at, although different sources do give different numbers.

Yet another wonderful example of Disney's odd naming conventions. I'm surprised it's not "Disney's Space 220 Restaurant - An Epcot Dining Experience".

Orbit
Space Station Alpha
Bravo Centauri
Above the Horizon
Blast-Off
Zero Gravity

All off the top of my head in 5 minutes. Space 220 sounds vague and I'd bet few get the reference without it being bashed over their head in a vain attempt at storytelling, which I would not put past them. The menus and many other "theme" elements, will no doubt reference how one is orbiting 220 miles above Earth.

Fail. None of those are puns.

I am still wondering if 220 is just a code name.

You think Space 220 is more vague than “orbit”?

That is still my understanding

Or-bite (Orbit pun)
Mer-curry (Mercury pun)
Moon Pie (Moon pun)
Supper-Nova (Super Nova pun)
Uranus (Just because its funny.)

[BoarderPhreak]

Wondering why the name is Space 220?

The ISS (International Space Station, and what this restaurant is meant to be representing) orbits the Earth at exactly 220 statute miles distance.

Certainly no less vague. And at least there is no confusion about how to speak the numbered portion of the name.

Also, nice job picking out one of the names I suggested. As I said, they were selected off the top of my head in five minutes. I'm certain WDI had multiple meetings about the proposed name of this new space.

Space 220, Space 221... whatever it takes.

You give a baby chili?

You can pronounce it however way you want, that’s the beauty of it!

Not a whole lot of thought went into my post just picking out one of you names, I think Space 220 is significantly better than all of them and is/would be a great name for a restaurant if that is in fact what it is. If you get what the name means, it’s interesting and cool reference, and if not, then the name still generally establishes the theme and futuristic feel.

Have you ever thought, that Megan is now old enough to have babies of her own.

And would you then call Jack, Mr Grandmom?

If you think Space 220 is a better name and reference than Brava Centauri, you might be in danger of getting your Disney fan card revoked.

And yes, I do realize I didn't spell it correctly the first time.

But hey each to their own and everything!

I say Eating: SPACE should be the name - there's synergy with the naming format of Mission: SPACE, it clearly identifies what the restaurant is, and it satisfies @MisterPenguin's desire for puns.

Or, even better, make it Eatin': SPACE - double the attraction synergy with even more punniness (it's an "eating space" where you "eat in space").

 

[SteveAZee]

Every menu item should have SPACE in the name... like instead of Meatballs they'd be Spaceballs.

 

[Sir_Cliff]

Every menu item should have SPACE in the name... like instead of Meatballs they'd be Spaceballs.

And the dessert menu should be called SPACE for Dessert.
