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

[Demarke]

I went last Monday, got in line about 10:30 and a cast member worked her way down the line offering open reservation times to those that just wanted to get inside. It appeared that there were 5-6 that they had to give out based on the people that followed her to check in and left the queue. Fortunately for me, the 2-3 groups ahead of me preferred to wait for the lounge and I got the last one (a 2:15 reservation)! I do really like the menu so I was excited. Had the tuna tartare, salmon (which has quite a presentation when the dome of smoke is released!), an extra side of Brussels sprouts, and one of the non-alcoholic drinks (no alcohol since I was about to drive 6 hours, but really wanted a pack or two of the trading cards that you can get by ordering one). Very cool experience and the cast members still seemed excited to do the spiel in the elevators and such.

Alas, nothing available already for my day. Oh well.

I doubt this includes bar seating, but maybe it does?

Great job guys!. Pretty soon at WDW you'll need a reservation to use the bathroom.

Was there opening week and got a walkup to the lounge with no wait. The rest of the dining room in the restaurant was over half empty.

“With Disney Restroom+, you’ll be able to book a time in advance, so you can walk right into a restroom with little wait!”

Lounge is fully booked from now to at least Dec 7.

I got right on there made my reservation ..at least I thought I did ..the little circle kept twirling and then it kicked me off ..now nothing… not feeling magical right now.

I tried too and nothing during my week stay this month. I guess I will try for our June trip instead. I don't want to pay the astronomical prices for dinner.

Oh my God the WDW magic gods have answered my prayers…. Everyone go on there now if you’re trying to get a reservation because I just got one

No luck for me. Does anyone know if walkups are still a thing?

I'd have to assume you can still do the walk up (waiting) list in MDE. The last few trips I've gotten in places that way that had no reservations showing. It seems like they hold back a certain amount of availability and release if they have the staff/tables to cover it at the time.

Bummer. Glad I got in the lounge on standby last month. Kinda seems now like you have to stay on property to have any reasonable shot at getting into this lounge... and Oga's too, for that matter.

I just got a lunch reservation for three on 12/22 and I’m not sure how I feel about it. I should be excited as it is hard to get and it will be my birthday (one day late) meal but the food reviews are so mediocre.

Everyone is different but when I went I thought the food was fantastic. The atmosphere cant be beat though, easily the best of any restaurant I've been to.

Was lunch always $55? Thought more.

Can you still order dessert a la carte at lunch? They don’t show a dessert menu for lunch online, which is weird since kids get dessert.

Lunch has been $55 since opening. Desserts were available à la carte at lunch a few weeks ago, but unsure if that has changed.

It appears, at least according to @ToTBellHop and the menu in the MDE app I just looked at, that adult desserts are no longer available for lunch. An odd change, if it's true. None of the dinner desserts appear to be things that aren't pre-made, for the most part, so why they wouldn't be available for purchase at lunch is puzzling.
