It’s the unused lounge that has been there for years.

Do pictures exist of that?

Yes. Basically a rounded glass wall. Not much. I'm on mobile so I can't pull stuff up fast or else I would.

The glass is gone. As of August, there was new steel framing along the wall where the glass was.

yeah, it's seeming this will be delayed from Winter 2019 to Spring. They still have a lot of work to do. There's some parts of the building that aren't even fully enclosed yet. I'm really interested in what the entrance will look like. It's gonna be so cool to walk inside Mission Space, turn to the right and have a table-service themed restaurant to go inside of.

Winter runs up until March 21st. It could still open this Winter.

Bumping the question for those that may know. Will this be a Signature Dining location and when will reservations likely open up?

The most you would walk into Mission: SPACE is into the sphere outside. The attraction area is only directly connected on the second floor, with a back of house space separating the two at the ground level. There is also no room to add another way into the attraction, as adding the dedicated FastPass lanes already involved removing the back half of the sphere.

I’m going in mid-January so I would like to know is as well. Any insiders have any updates?

Nothing new in terms of openings. This is very much like a Disney Springs project. There is a third party involved and this complicates matters.

For clarification to those who hadn't seen the posts, it was not a "space themed" restaurant (just decorations and such), but themed to be a restaurant in space (in orbit 220 miles up). You don't walk into the restaurant, but were supposed to enter a lobby, then take a "Space Elevator" up to the restaurant. If done right, which I'm sure it is, it will be pretty spectacular.
Edit: Of course the crazy thing is, the only way a space elevator would work as the concept uses a long cable, is that it has to be geosyncronous which is actually 22,236 miles. I'm assuming "Space 22,236" was too long a name?
I figure, as long as the gravity hasn't been tweaked for the experience, we should be good.

They'll be using the centrifuges in the ride to give the illusion of weightlessness.

Will my food float? I also want an overpriced floating slushie.
Put in a scoop of freeze dried astronaut ice cream and it will certainly be afloat!
