A recent job posting by Patina Restaurant Group, the operator of the upcoming Space 220 restaurant at Epcot, suggests an opening of the new restaurant in early 2020.

The listing indicates training to begin in January 2020, with a launch of the restaurant in February 2020.

Construction on the restaurant began back in July 2018, and promises a culinary experience featuring the celestial panorama of a space station, including daytime and nighttime views of Earth from 220 miles up.

You’ll board a special elevator for a journey to a space station, and along the way, viewports will give you a real-time perspective as you travel high above the planet.

Here is the job listing from Patina.

Mission Control invites you to join the crew at Space 220 for an expedition like no other. The planets have aligned for you to be a part of the latest cutting-edge and out-of-this-world restaurant. Help ensure a smooth departure as guests blast off to enter the International Space Station suspended 220 miles above the Earth’s surface and assist in delivering an unmatched intergalactic dining experience. With stellar views and gourmet menu offerings, Space 220 is truly “The Height of Dining.”

The Opportunity
Space 220 plans to launch in February 2020 and we're looking for Bartenders to join our crew and start training in January. Our ideal Bartenders are experienced cocktail makers and beer pourers, you have great interpersonal skills, are excited about contributing to a team, and are dedicated to creating a memorable guest experience.

Ignorance is bliss.

I've been once. And only attempted once. Right at park opening I walked up to desk and reserved a lunch reservation for two. 🤷‍♂️ It was 2 weeks after the place opened.

They were just keeping the Future World pavilion restaurant tradition alive. Coral Reef is hidden back in a corner too and I bet a significant number of visitors have no idea it's even there. Considering they're not trying to attract walk-up diners, it probably doesn't really matter. As an aside, I just looked at the Coral Reef menu and it's awful. Not only is the menu too small -- 6 entree choices isn't enough -- but only having two fish options for a supposed seafood restaurant is pretty bad.

And each boss is tougher than the last to defeat.

It is quite hidden, what I don't get and didn't like was it takes 3 check points just to check in,,,its getting ridiculous all you have to go through just to get in to dine.

Is it just me or is this place kinda hidden ? I had to do a double take to actually find it.

I used TP for it also, and it wasn't good. In the same period, I got 1 text message (vs 30 or so from MW). Clicked it, it went to the general search page for Dining. MW sent me almost daily texts, which linked directly into the dining system for that specific reservation. Allowing me to get a reservation in seconds, vs minutes. It was worth the $15 or whatever for MW.

Another option, and it's free, is touring plans reservation finder. Just need an account, but not a paid subscription to use it. From Len Testa who is a poster here, so good people.

It really works.

Thank you, never knew about that site

As a local, I’ve given up hope I’ll ever get to experience it.

I couldn’t at all as an off property guest. I paid for mousewatcher.com and eventually got a lounge reservation and then finally, closer to my day, the restaurant. It’s cheap and they must have sent me 30 texts over a few months. Get the text, click it, pray, get it. Then you can keep waiting for a better time etc.

I thought Be Our Guest circa 2013 was a tough gig, but Space 220 is beyond.

I have been on property twice since this restaurant opened and still haven't been able to get a reservation.
