BREAKING: Space 220 Opens Today and MickeyBlog is First In Line
It’s a bustling day over at EPCOT this morning as Disney fans line-up to be among the first to dine at Space 220.
As you can see from these images taken at the front gates, this restaurant is generating a lot of buzz and after YEARS of anxiously waiting opening day, we are finally here!
This new restaurant takes guests into the Earth’s orbit to enjoy panoramic views of space while dining on delicious dishes!
MickeyBlog arrived to get queued up for Space 220 as soon as EPCOT opened this morning and we weren’t the only ones that had this idea!
Just look at these crowds!
This brave Cast Member can be seen holding the guests back prior to getting the go ahead to open up the park.
When we actually got over to the Mission: Space pavilion there were crews set up as well as local media to cover this momentous occasion.
Many Disney executives have been on hand this morning for interviews.
Also in front of the attraction, a stage has been set up and we suspect they’ll be some sort of ribbon cutting ceremony this morning.
Some cast members are waiting in the wings for the media event.
Above is a look at the filming going on in a separate location!
Above is a little video of our own that we took of crowds queueing up!
The crowd you see above is actually crowd hoping to dine at Space 220 today.
Cast members working at the restaurant told us that they don’t expect the eatery to open until 1:00pm.
There’s no virtual queue so I dedicated MickeyBlogger Greg, who is at the front of the line, will be holding down the fort until opening!
As you can see, the pavilion is currently pretty crowded.
While we’ve be waiting, the crowds just keep coming.
Space 220 did not open up for advanced reservations. This means seating is walk-up only, hence the crowds.
Reservations will be opening up for the restaurant.
We don’t expect the huge crowds to be an issue once reservations are in place.
In the meantime, we can expect morning crowds like those above.
We are definitely working up a hunger and can’t wait to share all of the out-of-this-word details of this unique concept restaurant.
We’ll also try to find out more about the footage being filmed and will share that with you!
For those unfamiliar, you’ll find the eatery in the same Pavilion as Mission: SPACE.
Here you can get a really great view of the crowds gathering around the pavilion.
Keep following along with us as we’ll be coming to you LIVE throughout the day!
