Location for new space-themed restaurant in Epcot officially announced

The new space-themed restaurant planned for Epcot in Walt Disney World will be located between the Mission: SPACE and Test Track attractions, Disney announced today.

The restaurant will “invite guests to travel to space for an amazing dining experience in the stars,” the Disney Parks Blog writes.

Once inside the restaurant, it will have views of space and look down on Earth. This most likely will use the same technology to provide space views that will be used in the new Star Wars hotel that is being built at Hollywood Studios.

The Patina Restaurant Group, which operates many restaurants around Walt Disney World, including Tutto Italia and Via Napoli at Epcot and Morimoto Asia and Maria & Enzo’s Ristorante at Disney Springs, will operate the new space restaurant.

No more specifics have been announced, but previously it was believed the restaurant will open by 2021.

Here’s a look at all the major projects taking place at Disney World from now until 2021.
