Disney Confirms Location of New Space-Themed Restaurant Coming to Epcot

Last summer at the D23 Expo, Disney officially announced that a one-of-a-kind, space-themed restaurant will be coming to Epcot. The space-themed restaurant will offer Guests amazing meals and a spectacular view from high above Earth. Today, the Walt Disney World Resort shared that the restaurant will be built in a newly-developed area located between Mission: SPACE and Test Track.

Once completed, the restaurant will invite guests to travel to space for an amazing dining experience in the stars. The new restaurant will be operated by the Patina Restaurant Group, led by Nick Valenti, which operates several other restaurants around Walt Disney World Resort, including Tutto Italia and Via Napoli at Epcot and Morimoto Asia and Maria & Enzo’s Ristorante at Disney Springs.

But Epcot guests don’t have to wait until the restaurant opens to enjoy a thrilling adventure in space. Last summer, the park’s Mission: SPACE attraction launched new experiences: the enhanced Orange Mission offers a truly intense experience that lets guests feel the force of an actual space launch en route to Mars; while the all-new, family-friendly Green Mission takes guests on an exciting orbit around Earth.

And this summer – starting June 9 – Star-Lord and Gamora from “Guardians of the Galaxy” will take guests on a musical journey through the cosmos in “Guardians of the Galaxy – Awesome Mix Live!” as a part of Walt Disney World’s “Incredible Summer” offerings. Guests can catch this new show at the America Gardens Theatre at Epcot, five times a day from June 9 through August 19.
