Walt Disney World has given an update on the location of the upcoming Space-themed restaurant that is coming to Epcot. They have announced that it will be located between Mission: SPACE and Test Track. Many had suspected that the location would be at the former Wonders of Life pavilion, but apparently that will not be the case. The restaurant will be the only significant dining option on the East Side of Future World outside of the Electric Umbrella inside Innoventions.
As was previously announced the restaurant will be run by the Patina Group, and not Disney. No opening date has been given for the location. The restaurant’s original announcement took place at the 2017 D23 Expo in Anaheim.
