Space 220 Reportedly Targeting March 2021 Opening Date

    It was one of the most highly anticipated new restaurants at Walt Disney World when it was announced, but a series of construction delays have made the hype for Space 220 fizzle just a bit. Originally slated to open in fall 2019, a new report from Scott Gustin says that the restaurant could now be delayed until March 2021.

    Space 220, as you might remember, is slated to be an out-of-this-world dining experience next to Mission: SPACE. The general concept of the restaurant is that guests take a space elevator up to the International Space Station as guests experience “The Height of Dining”.

    There have been a couple of pieces of concept art put out for the Space 220 Restaurant. The first, and perhaps most popular, is of the dining space. This piece of concept art shows a couple of interesting things, including tiered dining (like Coral Reef), and an out-of-this-world window into space. This window will be comprised of screens, or perhaps projections, that will simulate the vastness of space as guests orbit above the Earth. The idea of this restaurant plays nicely with the very close neighbor in Mission: SPACE.

    Building a bit on the idea of a space elevator, we can see the Space 220 Restaurant and space elevator included in the Epcot overhaul concept art. Not only does the “wire” seem to be reaching towards the sky, we can make out what looks like the elevator chamber traveling up to the International Space Station.

    Disney has not announced an opening date for Space 220 at EPCOT.
