Our Thoughts
We’ve had the pleasure of dining at Space 220 in both the lounge as well as in the dining area and both times were an excellent experience.
Our most recent meal in July 2023 was for dinner in the lounge which included the Centauri Caesar Salad as the starter, the Filet Mignon as the entrée and the Chocolate Cheesecake for dessert. With a beverage and tax, the total the cost was $89.19.
All three courses were excellent and what you would expect at any premium level restaurant at Walt Disney World. Service was also top notch and the service team was on top of our meal every step of the way.
In addition, we feel that prices are consistent with similar quality off-site restaurants throughout the greater Orlando area so if you can get a reservation (or are lucky enough for a walk-up), Space 220 is a great place to dine at EPCOT.
Pricing and Reservations
The price for lunch at Space 220 is $55 per adult for two courses, while dinner is $79 per adult for three courses. The price fixed menu includes an appetizer, entrée, and dessert (dinner only). Additionally, a kids menu is offered for $29.00 per child and includes a Star Course, Super Nova Sweets and a Celestial drink.
Reservations can be made up to 60 days in advance and are highly recommended due to the restaurant’s popularity. Guests can make reservations online through the Walt Disney World Resort website or on the MyDisney Experience app.
While a walk-up option is offered, it is highly unlikely that there will be availability. The Space 220 Lounge is also an alternative for small parties but it is also difficult to secure an opening.
