Space 220 Lounge

By Melissa — lives fifteen minutes from Walt Disney World and is in the parks most weeks

Who that is

Writer and presenter, Whistle While You Work

Melissa moved to Celebration, Florida, and stopped treating Disney as a once-a-year sprint. She is in the parks most weeks, films what she finds, and writes the pages here from that — plus the research it takes to check it. Her position, in her own words: Disney does not have to be perfect to be magical, and the goal was never to do everything.

The short answer

Space 220 Lounge is the à la carte bar half of Space 220 at EPCOT, reached by the same space elevator and with the same view of Earth. There is no prix fixe: small plates are $17 to $24 and cocktails $17 to $20. Disney takes reservations, and Ziggy Knows Disney reports walk-up bar seats if you queue early.

Is it worth the money?

Yes, if what you want is the view. The dining room charges $55 at lunch and $79 at dinner for a set menu, while the lounge lets you order one drink and one plate at $35 to $45 together and see the same window. Ziggy Knows Disney calls it one of its favourite places to eat.

Getting in is the catch. Ziggy found lounge reservations harder to get than the restaurant's because the lounge is smaller. Its advice for the walk-up bar is to queue from about 10:15 to 10:30am in the walk-up line, with no guarantee of a seat.

Who it’s right for

A drink and a snack with the Space 220 view, without the set-menu price.

Who it’s wrong for

A full meal: the plates are small and the dining room next door is the proper dinner.

What is actually good

Flight bites, $17 to $24: Blue Moon cauliflower $17; Apollo 16 shrimp tacos, short rib sliders, curry wurst and Solar Flare pork belly $18; Starry calamari $19; the Saturn Reuben and Astro Cluck and Comet Crisp, fried chicken on a waffle, $20; and the Cosmic Lobster Bao $24.

Drinks: atmospheric spirits such as the Illumination, Space Age Mule and Up All Night at $17 to $20, the Moon Shot with WhistlePig rye at $36, beer $9 to $12, and two zero-proof cocktails with a collectible at $13 and $16. Prices from Disney's menu, 14 September 2026.

Disney's restaurant page still names Astro deviled eggs and a New England lobster roll, which its menu no longer lists; the menu has the lobster bao instead.

Portions

Small plates for sharing; two or three make a light meal for one.

Allergies and dietary needs

The Blue Moon cauliflower is the vegetarian plate. Ask your server about allergies.
