Imagineer Zach Riddley shared the date in an Instagram post.
The post also showed the moment he walked into a “space elevator” that transports guests to the Centauri Space Station.
Disney said guests will feel as though they’re dining among the stars and 220 miles above Earth.
“As you begin your ascent, you’ll look down through a viewport to see EPCOT shrink away; looking up you’ll see the Space Station come into view,” Disney explained on its blog.
The dining area will offer panoramic views of Earth, and a variety of work and leisure activities taking place beyond the windows of the Space Station.
Disney said on its blog that Executive Chef Marc Kusche will showcase his talents on the restaurant’s menu which will include gourmet recipes, with a two-course prix fixe menu for lunch, and a three-course prix fixe menu for dinner.
