EPCOT Space 220 Restaurant dining experience at Epcot's Future World

[OG Runner]

How is the bar "fun"...it is facing the wall with your back to the room...as an afterthought they added a mirror.... Plain bar with a row of stools.....Fun Yes! you must be biased...do you work for the WDW or the restaurant group...or friends or relatives that work there?

After your third or fourth drink it becomes more "fun"!

We got dinner reservations in the restaurant. The food was good, the interiors were nice and the elevator was cool. The music was a little boring, I could have taken a nap. Also, the scenes are very passive. I realize stuff is floating around, but there's almost no action.

I wish the experience had a bit of entertainment, maybe an approaching asteroid, or some kind of issue. Something exciting needs to happen. Also, I am still waiting for Wall-E to float by lol.

When I went, we discovered an asteroid was headed toward earth and had to enlist the help of the oil drillers at the table next door to blow it up.

I didn’t want to miss a thing. My wife kept saying, “let’s just stay here in this moment for all the rest of time.”

…corny…but acceptable

I think that is about the only way... I know sometimes my criticism sounds harsh, but for the amount of hype and the years it took to build it, this could and should have been a more beautiful and engaging restaurant. Not classic Disney...lacks whimsy and charm.

It was a Kodak moment

You could always eat somewhere else. Because most people love meat. Me personally I like to have my meat with a side order of meat.

It still is very archaic when you are dining in a restaurant in space. It's sort of an oxymoron.

Lab-grown meat made on International Space Station for the first time - CBBC Newsround

Scientists say they have grown meat in space for the first time.

Just to understand, how is that an oxymoron. Jumbo Shrimp is an oxymoron. There used
to be a joke of Military Intelligence being an oxymoron. How is dining at this restaurant
an oxymoron?

Has anyone who's not a resort guest ever bagged a reservation for this place? I check for ADRs almost daily and in over a year never once managed to book anything 60 days out

I have been on property twice since this restaurant opened and still haven't been able to get a reservation.

I thought Be Our Guest circa 2013 was a tough gig, but Space 220 is beyond.

I couldn’t at all as an off property guest. I paid for mousewatcher.com and eventually got a lounge reservation and then finally, closer to my day, the restaurant. It’s cheap and they must have sent me 30 texts over a few months. Get the text, click it, pray, get it. Then you can keep waiting for a better time etc.

As a local, I’ve given up hope I’ll ever get to experience it.

Another option, and it's free, is touring plans reservation finder. Just need an account, but not a paid subscription to use it. From Len Testa who is a poster here, so good people.

I used TP for it also, and it wasn't good. In the same period, I got 1 text message (vs 30 or so from MW). Clicked it, it went to the general search page for Dining. MW sent me almost daily texts, which linked directly into the dining system for that specific reservation. Allowing me to get a reservation in seconds, vs minutes. It was worth the $15 or whatever for MW.

Is it just me or is this place kinda hidden ?

I had to do a double take to actually find it.
