Patina Restaurant Group has today announced that it is preparing for an opening of its Space 220 restaurant at EPCOT this fall.
We reached out to Patina, and they have confirmed to us that they are currently in the process of hiring team members for Space 220, and are preparing for a fall 2021 opening.
Space 220, which was originally planned to open in 2019 has seen numerous construction delays prior to COVID, and then more delays related to construction restrictions during COVID-19 as mitigation measures were in place.
In a rare look inside shared by Disney last year, we see some of the two tier dining room seating, along with a look out of the viewports back towards Earth - courtesy of a massive 250ft projection screen that will wrap around the restaurant.
The adventure begins when a crew member invites guests to step inside the restaurant’s space elevator and prepare for liftoff. Guests will feel as if they are on a scenic excursion traveling 220 miles directly above Earth's surface, docking at the Centauri Space Station suspended just beyond the orbit of Mission: SPACE. Upon their arrival at the restaurant, guests will be guided to their seats past the grow zone, a spinning wall of produce that mimics Earth’s gravity and represents some of the fresh ingredients used by the culinary team.
Space 2020 is located adjacent to Mission: SPACE on the right-hand side of the pavilion.
