Have you ever wondered what it's like to dine in space? Well, now you can! 220 miles above Earth. Disney is known for its immersive experiences, and the new restaurant, Space 220, is the latest addition to the lineup of highly-themed dining at Disney World. To make the (g)astronomical experience as realistic as possible, guests board a special elevator simulator that transports them to the space station's dining room, which has giant, panoramic windows looking out into outer space with Earth below. Your favorite frogs leapt at the opportunity to have dinner shortly after Space 220's initial launch at EPCOT. Here's everything you need to know, including full menus and our best tips for getting into this high-demand restaurant.

Overview of Space 220 Restaurant at EPCOT
Space 220 is located next to Mission: SPACE in the World Discovery neighborhood at EPCOT. The restaurant is open for lunch and dinner, offering a two-course prix fixe menu for lunch and a three-course prix fixe menu for dinner. While it is one of the more expensive meals on property, you're paying for the full culinary adventure in the cosmos. Plus you can expect to spend a good chunk of time in space. Our dinner lasted about two hours!
Don't froget — you'll need valid theme park admission to dine! You will also need an advanced dining reservation for lunch or dinner. Reservations may be hard to get, but it's not an impossible (space) mission. If Space 220 is a priority for you, we recommend grabbing any reservation time that pops up and continually checking if you can't seem to catch one. Leap managed to snag our dinner reservation late at night when most frogs would probably be croaking in their sleep.
If you really want a look inside and don't have a reservation, check to see if there is a standby line available for the lounge and bar area. This is also a great option if you just want a drink or a quick bite to eat and don't want to spend as much money for the prix fixe meal. There's a separate a la carte lounge menu, which has some exclusive menu items, or you could order from the prix fixe menu if you'd like. (But if you have a reservation, you must order from the prix fixe menu.)
We actually hopped back for a second visit to get a glimpse of the daytime views, and we waited in the lounge's standby line for only about 20 minutes. It was right around the time of the transition from lunch to dinner, so that would be a good time to check if you're trying to avoid a longer wait during the lunch or dinner rush. (Note: You can make advance dining reservations for the lounge.)
The Arrival Experience at Space 220
When it's your launch time (aka lunchtime … or dinnertime), check in with the host at the outdoor stand. After you confirm your reservation, you enter the lobby area where you receive a boarding pass while you wait your turn to board the special space station elevator.
Once it's your turn, you may be grouped with other families, but there is limited space inside the elevator. During the ride, look up and down as you're launched into outer space! You get to watch Mission: SPACE, then EPCOT, followed by Florida and finally the Earth get smaller and smaller as you speed away into the atmosphere. Look up to see views of the Centauri Space Station getting closer. This is one of the best parts of the experience — tadpoles will love it! Once you've arrived at the space station, you pass by a slowly rotating garden of vegetables and a wall with wine bottles in holes. They have to grow the food and store drinks somewhere in space, right?
The Dining Experience at Space 220
There are three sections spaced out on two levels of the dining area: the main dining room, the lounge and the bar. When you initially walk into the dining area, you enter on the second level, with the bar and the lounge area on your immediate right. Keep in mind that if you're seated at the bar, you will be turned around with your back facing the windows, but there is a large mirror on the wall so you can still see what's going on in space. You're more than welcome to explore and take photos once you're done eating. If you have a reservation, you may be seated either on the left side of the second level or down on the lower level, closest to the panoramic windows.
Keep an eye on the windows throughout your meal, as you never know what may float by! You can see all kinds of activity, including meteors, other space ships, various groups of astronauts sometimes participating in random activities such as a lightsaber battle and "walking" a dog. All of the objects and astronauts move quickly and often stay in one window frame at a time (they don't usually float into the nearby windows), so it can be hard to snap photos and video of them if you're not paying close attention.
If you're having lunch, you'll see daytime views of Earth, and if you're eating dinner, you'll have nighttime views of Earth. But if you're dining at dusk? You'll be able to watch the gradual transition from day to night, moving from east to west. Toadally cool!

Lift-Offs — The same appetizer menu is offered at lunch and dinner.
The Blue Moon Cauliflower and Starry Calamari are two of the most popular appetizers, so of course, we had to try them! Leap doesn't usually love calamari, but even he thought it was tasty. He enjoyed the crunchiness and loved the two different dips that came on the side. And I would have to agree that the Blue Moon Cauliflower is a hit! The hot sauce made the dish very flavorful, but it wasn't too spicy (it was very similar to buffalo sauce). The cauliflower was crispy and not overly crunchy, and as someone who isn't a big fan of blue cheese, it wasn't a flavor that stood out.
Star Course

Leap decided on the filet mignon. While it wasn't anything "out of this world," he thought it was filling and flavorful, and it met his expectations of a good steak. The sauce and sides complemented the meat well. Meanwhile, I ordered the roasted chicken and got a huge portion (I ended up not finishing everything on my plate). The meat was juicy and delicious, but similar to how Leap felt about his steak, I wasn't completely blown away by the dish. We wish the entrées had more of a space theme too!

If you like piña coladas (and getting caught in outer space), then you'll love the Planetary Punch with its strong pineapple and coconut flavors. I'm partial to sweeter cocktails, and this was right up my lily pad. It's served over dry ice, which causes bubbles on top and a smokey effect. It lasts for a long time so you can get the perfect video for TikTok!

The tadpoles enjoyed the Moon Rocks drink! It reminded Tad of melted ice cream, and Lily got a kick out of the "snap, crackle, pop" sounds it made when the Pop Rocks candy was poured into the drink. All of the Zero-Proof cocktails come with Space 220 trading cards.

Our Thoughts About Space 220 Restaurant
Few frogs can say they've dined in space, and this is as close as you can get to the real deal! We really enjoyed the overall experience and were once again blown away by the Disney Imagineers' creativity that went into the immersive theming. The food was delicious, though we wish that some of the dishes would tie in better with the space theme. We didn't leave disappointed at all (our bellies were very full and hoppy!), but for the higher-priced prix fixe menus, the food by itself did not greatly exceed our expectations. Taking into account that the price includes the overall experience though, we can understand why it's pricier than most restaurants on property.
Is Space 220 worth it? If you've got aspiring astronauts or you're celebrating a special occasion and want to splurge, absolutely! But if you're on a tight budget, skip the prix fixe meal and try to get into the lounge (because it's toadally worth riding the space elevator).
Tips for an Out-of-This-World Space 220 Experience
- Reservations may be hard to get, but check at random times, even in the middle of the night.
- If you want to make sure that you catch the fireworks, avoid late reservation times beyond 7:30 p.m. (or at least two hours before showtime) because the multiple courses will make your meal run long. You want to enjoy your food and not have to rush back to Earth!
- We'd suggest waiting in the standby line for the lounge if you don't have a reservation, are limited on time or don't want to spend the full price for a prix fixe meal. Stop by around 4 p.m. when it's transitioning from lunch to dinner, as we'd expect the wait time is likely shorter then, compared to peak dining times.
- Our waiter shared that the window projections run on a 90-minute "show" before they are repeated. So if you see the astronaut walking the dog, you might not see them again!
- Make a trip to the restroom, and don't worry — fluid vacuum containment systems will engage in the unlikely event of an artificial gravity malfunction.
