PHOTOS: Space 220 is Using a Virtual Queue Today in Disney World

Yesterday we got the chance to attend the grand opening of Space 220 at EPCOT!

We checked out the new restaurant yesterday!

The new restaurant is located next to Mission: SPACE and it takes guests 220 miles above the earth to “dine in outer space.” We tried a LOT of food and checked out all the details, and it was a blast! Apparently, the restaurant is just as popular today, because there’s already a virtual queue.

For the first week that it’s open (until September 27th), Space 220 is operating on a “no reservations, first-come-first-serve” basis. That means that if you want to get inside in the next few days, you’ll need to get here EARLY!

If you want to eat here, you’ll need to plan ahead.

We tried rope dropping Space 220 this morning to see how busy things were, and we certainly weren’t the only ones waiting in line. We were let into the park at around 10:30AM, got in the Space 220 line shortly after, and made it to the front of the queue to get our return time at about 10:50AM.

Expect long lines!

When we reached the front, we spoke with a Cast Member who asked us whether we’d prefer to eat lunch or dinner. Since we were among the first in line, we were given the chance to request a specific time. For those who walk up later in the day, you’ll be given a choice from the remaining times available. If you arrive after the restaurant opens, you can put your name on the list for the first available spot for the lounge or the bar.
