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.

It really works.
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.

It is quite hidden, what I don't get and didn't like was it takes 3 check points just to check in,,,its getting ridiculous all you have to go through just to get in to dine.
And each boss is tougher than the last to defeat.

They were just keeping the Future World pavilion restaurant tradition alive. Coral Reef is hidden back in a corner too and I bet a significant number of visitors have no idea it's even there.
Considering they're not trying to attract walk-up diners, it probably doesn't really matter.
As an aside, I just looked at the Coral Reef menu and it's awful. Not only is the menu too small -- 6 entree choices isn't enough -- but only having two fish options for a supposed seafood restaurant is pretty bad.

Blink, blink. Breathe, breathe. Day in, day out.
I've been once. And only attempted once. Right at park opening I walked up to desk and reserved a lunch reservation for two.
It was 2 weeks after the place opened.
Ignorance is bliss.
