Disney’s Space 220 restaurant stars in opening debut

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. – Disney’s Space 220 restaurant had its galactic grand opening Monday morning at EPCOT.

Special guests Mickey and Minnie Mouse were at the ribbon-cutting ceremony wishing travelers a safe voyage before they’re transported, virtually, 220 miles above Earth’s surface to enjoy the restaurant’s inaugural meal.

While traveling to their dining table on the “space elevator,” guests can experience a scenic view of EPCOT and Earth.

After “landing” at Space 220, visitors are met by a crewmember who will walk them to their table, where they can enjoy an upscale, contemporary cuisine in a space-themed, simulated experience.

Disney unveiled the menu on Sept. 14, and guests can partake in a $55 two-course lunch and a $79 three-course dinner that will include a “lift-off” appetizer, “star course” main entrée and “supernova sweets” for dessert.

The eatery will only be accepting walk-ins from Sept. 20 to Sept. 26, but it will take reservations for Sept. 27 and onward.

The Space 220 restaurant opening comes in time for the Walt Disney World Resort 50th anniversary celebration on Oct. 1.
