Walt Disney World’s EPCOT is in the midst of its multi-year transformation. While new milestones are being made every day in the Disney Park, EPCOT is celebrating its most popular restaurant, Space 220, which is officially one year old!
With the roll-out of EPCOT’s four neighborhoods, including World Celebration, World Discovery, World Nature, and World Showcase, the neighborhood currently getting the most attention is World Discovery.
This portion of the Park includes oldies but goodies such as Test Track and Mission: SPACE. But, the newbies that have arrived are stealing the spotlight! Of course, the new roller coaster, Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, is a highlight… but if you’re hungry, the best place to go is Space 220 Restaurant.

On September 20, 2021, Space 220, a restaurant that makes Guests feel like they are dining 220 miles above Earth, officially launched. In additional to exceptional food and beverages with both table-dining service and a lounge service, Space 220 has also been known for adding a new collectible item to the Disney Park circuit.

The three new series, Saturn, Jupiter, and Mars, are being given to Guests when they order any zero-proof (non-alcoholic) cocktail or children’s meal. The original three series – Earth, Venus, and Mercury – will be retired, as each series is a limited edition.
“We’re thrilled to launch our new Space 220 Collectible Trading Cards to commemorate the one year anniversary of our very popular, out-of-this-world eatery,” Patina Restaurant Group Marketing Director Kyle Collins said. “These cards help to spark an interest in space exploration in Guests of all ages, creating a sense of awe at the wonder of our solar system and beyond.”
Cards in a series may be categorized as Space Trivia, Food in Space Trivia, or Space Technology, with each series also including a rare Tech-Specs card, giving an inside look at specifications of current and future space technologies. These are stamped with a blue foil ink. A complete series contains six trading cards.
If you’ve never dined at Space 220, Disney describes the dining experience as “A Stellar Adventure”:
