Did you know you can dine in space at EPCOT?
EPCOT
In EPCOT, you can find Space 220! Here you can take the Stellarvator up to the Centauri Space Station and dine in the cosmos. This spot is super immersive and offers a prix-fixe menu for both lunch and dinner. Space 220 has recently changed its children’s menu and we have all the details!
Disney World certainly comes up with some unique restaurant ideas.
You will soon be able to dine in space…for REAL
Just think about it: you’ve got Sci-Fi Dine-In at Hollywood Studios, a restaurant where you can sit in a “car” and watch old movies while dining on burgers and fries. Then you’ve got Skipper Canteen in Magic Kingdom that takes you on a culinary adventure worthy of the Jungle Cruise. However, the concept behind Space 220 in EPCOT might be the most unique because it takes you to “space” to dine among the stars. Well, here’s the thing — a REAL LIFE Space 220 restaurant is on the way.
Disney World is full of fun secrets and surprises!
Cinderella Castle
For example, we were recently just selected to pick the Director’s Hat of The Day over in Magic Kingdom! There is magic all around in the parks and sometimes you might not even realize that rides and restaurants have hidden details and secret backstories!

EPCOT’s historic multi-year transformation has — at long last — reached completion!
EPCOT
While Disney World is always changing and updating, EPCOT has seen a MASSIVE overhaul. Walt Disney proclaimed, during the beginning ideas of EPCOT, that it would “always be in a state of becoming.” And this transformation is doing just that, bringing EPCOT into a new state of past, present, and future. But what exactly has all changed since the transformation began? That’s exactly what we’re here to tell you about.
EPCOT is home to over 60 dining options.
EPCOT
You can dine in one of the 11 World Showcase pavilions or grab a quick snack at a kiosk. Dining packages are available for shows or you can dine with beloved characters. It can probably be said that there is something for almost anyone in this Disney World park. If you’re looking to dine in outer space, that is even an option (with some imagination from Disney Imagineers). And now, you can get very special limited-edition collectibles while you’re dining 220 miles above Earth.
With so much to see and do around the Disney World parks, it’s hard to fit everything you want into one day!
Spaceship Earth
Between hopping from park to park, timing your shows and rides at just the right time, and somehow fitting food into your day before winding down with the nighttime fireworks, it could be tempting to find somewhere to cut a corner and take a break for a bit. [Read more…]
