Imagine eating dinner in space. Sounds like something only astronauts get to do, right? Well, thanks to a little Disney magic, we sort of did just that. We got the chance to experience Space 220, one of Walt Disney World® most coveted and hardest-to-get reservations. According to WDW Magazine and many others, it’s considered one of the hardest reservations to secure in all of Disney World. And trust us – it was worth the effort! Here’s the inside scoop on our galactic dining adventure.

The Journey to Space – It’s All About the Atmosphere!

Disney knows how to create an experience from the moment you walk in. First, you head to the reservation holding area, it’s like they sprinkle a little pixie dust to get you into the space mood. Then, it’s time to hop on an elevator that will launch you into the stars. We’re talking literal space vibes! Kids (and adults) will feel like they’re actually being transported into orbit. Once you exit the elevator, you’re greeted with out-of-this-world views that make you feel like you’re dining amongst the stars.

The Food – Delicious and Satisfying with a Touch of Magic

Okay, let’s talk food. We all know Disney can cook up some delicious bites, but don’t expect the world’s greatest meal here. Think of it like a wedding dinner – feeding a crowd quickly and efficiently, but still keeping the quality top-notch. The food at Space 220 is definitely good, but if you’re expecting a Michelin-star meal, this might not be it. However, when it comes to Disney quality, this place definitely holds its own. You get a prix-fixe menu (which is a little on the pricey side – but hey, it’s Disney!) with hearty portions that will leave you feeling full. And the desserts? Oh boy, they are super fun and totally Instagram-worthy.

Plus, the drink menu has some seriously cool options – though, on this trip, we decided to skip the fancy cocktails and stick to the basics.

So… How Did We Score a Reservation?

Our first time dining here? Pure luck. We were strolling through EPCOT®, not planning anything for dinner, and we randomly decided to check the app. After about 20 minutes of refreshing, BAM – a reservation popped up! We couldn’t believe it, but there we were – in space!

The second time was bit more strategic. We made our reservation the first day the system opened. Pro tip: Timing is key. If you’re visiting during a busy season, snagging a reservation can feel like winning the lottery. We go in January, which tends to be a quieter time in the parks, making our odds a bit better. Also, having a park hopper pass is a game-changer! It gives you flexibility to hop over to EPCOT on any day of your trip – without being tied to a single date.

Final Thoughts: Worth the Hype? Absolutely!

If you’ve got the opportunity to dine at Space 220, we say go for it! While the reservation process may be a little stressful, the experience is worth it. From the moment you step into the holding area to the final sip of your space-themed drink, it’s all about the magic.

If you’re ready to blast off into an unforgettable meal, start planning your trip now, because the stars are waiting! Oh, and here’s a fun little bonus: they still hand out trading cards at the end of your meal. It’s a sweet, nostalgic touch that adds to the overall fun vibe of the place!
