Guests are flocking to Space 220 for an out-of-this-world dining experience but reservations are hard to come by. Is this new Epcot experience really worth it? Yes! Keep reading and you’ll explain why Epcot’s Space 220 IS worth the hype and how you can experience the restaurant without reservations.
About Epcot’s Space 220 Restaurant
If you’ve ever dreamt of eating a delicious meal in outer space, now you can! Epcot’s new Space 220 restaurant allows guests to climb aboard a space station and enjoy an out-of-this-world dining experience!
Space 220 is the newest expansion of Epcot’s Mission: SPACE pavilion and is located right next to the Mission Space attraction.

[Guests enter the lobby area to check-in before boarding the space elevator.]

[When you check-in, you are given a space elevator boarding pass to the Centauri Space Station and wait to board the elevator with other guests.]
Space 220 Atmophere and Seating
First, you will enter the Departure Lounge and check in at the front desk. After that, you will receive a boarding pass for the Centauri Space Station and be escorted into a virtual simulation for space elevation. You will then be catapulted 220 miles above the Earth’s surface.
The elevator viewports offer spectacular aerial views of Epcot, planet Earth, and outer space!
Once you “land” at Centauri Space Station, you’ll depart the space elevator and walk past some futuristic hydroponic space vegetables growing right in the space station (and actually served in the restaurant!). Then, you’ll enter a magnificent dining room with rotating panoramic views of outer space.
Guests wait to be seated by a Cast Member. If possible, ask for a seat close to the window for extra amazing views.
Your server will arrive to take your order as you marvel at the out-of-this-world visual effects surrounding you. Once your belly is full, you’ll head back down to Planet Earth and resume your magical day at Epcot.

[Enter one of the two elevators and head 220 miles above Planet Earth to the Centauri Space Station (Space 220 restaurant).]

[The round space elevator has a central “viewpoint” where guests see themselves leaving Planet Earth. The elevator travels at a speed of 10,000 miles per hour on its way up to the Centauri Space Station. It’s an exhilarating ride!]

[Once you leave the elevation, you’ll walk past space vegetables growing right in the Centauri Space Station and used in the dishes served at Space 220.]

How to Get Reservations at Space 220
Due to its unique concept, Space 220 is a highly sought-after dining experience. With many eager to secure a table, knowing how to navigate the reservation process is important.
Guests are required to make reservations for lunch or dinner. It’s best to book as early as possible, or you can have The Vacationeer assist you.
What If You Can’t Get Space 220 Reservations?
If you can’t secure a reservation or prefer to visit spontaneously, you can still enjoy the restaurant by heading to the lounge area.
The Space 220 Lounge operates on a first come, first served basis, allowing you to walk in and sit down if seats are available. One benefit of dining in the lounge is the more affordable menu; items are ordered individually, unlike the pricier regular prix fixe menu.
Though the lounge can get crowded and has a limited menu, many people don’t realize it exists or that it operates on a first-come, first-served basis.
If you can’t book a dining experience or prefer a more casual atmosphere, we highly recommend visiting the Space 220 Lounge.

The Experience
We were really impressed with the visual experience at Space 220. If you look close enough, you’ll spot some interesting details through the windows – easter eggs, astronauts having a lightsaber battle in outer space, and other space things floating by. It’s really neat!
This is a multi-level restaurant so guests can visit different floors and experience the great space views from different vantage points.
Even the seating area has a futuristic look. They use a gray, black, and dark blue color palette that mimics the interior of a spacecraft.
The entire scene here is impressive and the dining experience feels like an attraction in and of itself.
Tip: Ask to be seated near one of the space windows, if possible.

Is Epcot’s Space 220 Worth It?
I truly believe that Epcot’s Space 220 is worth every penny and definitely lives up to the hype. It offers a “wow” experience you can only find at Walt Disney World, making it a must-see for everyone if you can manage it.
From the moment you step into that space elevator, you’re transported 220 miles above Earth. The transition is seamless, and watching our planet shrink beneath your feet creates an immediate sense of wonder. This isn’t just dinner – it’s an adventure.
The atmosphere is incredible; I was in awe of how realistic the space imagery looked through the windows. Astronauts float by, spacecraft dock, and stars twinkle in the distance. It’s probably the closest I’ll ever get to experiencing outer space – and it’s just a quick walk from Spaceship Earth!
Now, let’s talk about the food. In my experience, it’s really good, even by Disney standards, with generous portions. The “space” vegetables are presented with such creativity that even my picky eaters were intrigued. Disney World foodies will appreciate the attention to detail in both presentation and flavor profiles.
Yes, it’s expensive, but you’re paying for both exceptional cuisine and an immersive atmosphere that can’t be replicated elsewhere. There’s something on the menu for everyone, from adventurous eaters to those who prefer familiar comfort foods.
What struck me most was how the experience brought our family together. We weren’t on our phones – we were pointing out details, sharing bites, and creating memories that will last far longer than the meal itself.
