The Space 220 Lounge is the bar-and-small-plates lounge attached to Space 220 in EPCOT, sharing the same simulated space-station setting but serving an a la carte menu instead of the restaurant's prix fixe. It is the more attainable way into the room when Space 220 proper is fully booked, since the lounge holds back a share of seating for limited reservations and first-come walk-ups at the bar.

How do I get a reservation at Space 220 Lounge?
Book on Disney's site, or set an alert and we will ping you the moment a cancellation opens.
- The lounge takes a limited number of reservations and also holds some bar seating for walk-ups
- Walk-up bar seats are first-come and cannot be guaranteed; reservations are the surer path
- It is the more accessible way into the Space 220 room when the main dining room is full
- Cancellations reappear throughout the day, including in the days before the date
The Space 220 Lounge draws the same demand as Space 220 itself, because both deliver the one-of-a-kind space-station experience and the lounge holds only a small set of bar seats and tables. That makes its reservations genuinely hard to land. If you miss the 60-day booking window, cancellation monitoring is the most reliable path. Once your date is open for booking, SpotRez watches it and notifies you the moment a matching table opens.
How hard is it to book Space 220 Lounge?
Difficulty varies by meal at Space 220 Lounge. Check the per-meal table below for the current outlook.
- Lunch: <1% of the next 30 days had availability. Extremely difficult.
- Dinner: <1% of the next 30 days had availability. Extremely difficult.
The Space 220 Lounge competes for the same demand as Space 220 proper: everyone who wants the space-station room but cannot land the dining room turns to the lounge, which holds only a small number of bar seats and tables. Limited capacity against steady demand keeps it among the harder EPCOT reservations to book. The live numbers above show the current outlook.
What meals does Space 220 Lounge serve?
Lunch and dinner, no breakfast. The lounge is a la carte small plates, not the dining room's prix fixe.
- Lunch and dinner only; the menu is ordered a la carte rather than as a fixed multi-course meal
- Lounge-exclusive Flight Bites and small plates sit alongside drinks from the bar
- From a lounge seat you can usually also order off the main Space 220 restaurant menu
- Reservations cover part of the seating; some bar seats stay open for first-come walk-ups
The split is the whole point of the lounge. Space 220 runs a two- or three-course prix fixe in its dining room, while the lounge lets you order a la carte: a few small plates and a drink rather than a full booked-out meal. For a comparable EPCOT room without the lounge format, Coral Reef Restaurant offers floor-to-ceiling aquarium views, and Garden Grill Restaurant turns slowly above Living with the Land.
Tips for securing a Space 220 Lounge reservation
- 1Set an alert as soon as your dates are open for booking
- 2Use the lounge as the workaround when Space 220's dining room is full: same room, a la carte menu
- 3Walk-ups are accommodated at the bar, but seating is limited and never guaranteed
- 4Ask your server about ordering off the main restaurant menu from a lounge seat

About Space 220 Lounge
The Space 220 Lounge shares the conceit of Space 220 next door: guests board the Stellarvator, an elevator that simulates a launch to a space station orbiting 220 miles above Earth, with screen windows showing the planet far below alongside passing satellites, spacecraft, and the occasional spacewalking astronaut. The lounge sits over the main dining room, so the orbital view is the same; what changes is the format. Instead of the dining room's multi-course prix fixe, the lounge serves a la carte small plates and Flight Bites at a bar and a handful of small white-topped tables, a lighter, lower-commitment way to spend time in the room.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Space 220 and the Space 220 Lounge?
Same room and same orbital view; the lounge serves a la carte small plates instead of the restaurant's prix fixe.
- The dining room is a fixed multi-course prix fixe at lunch and dinner
- The lounge is a la carte: small plates, Flight Bites, and drinks
- Both share the Stellarvator entrance and the screen views of Earth
- Lounge seats can usually order off the restaurant menu too
Space 220 and its lounge sit in the same simulated space station, so the view and theming are identical. The dining room commits you to a prix-fixe meal; the lounge lets you order a la carte and lingers as the lower-commitment option. Many guests treat the lounge as the way in when Space 220's dining room is unavailable, since it offers the same room with less booking pressure.
Can you walk up to the Space 220 Lounge?
Sometimes. The lounge holds some bar seating for first-come walk-ups, but it is limited and never guaranteed.
- Walk-ups are accommodated at the bar when seats are open
- Seating is limited and cannot be guaranteed, especially at peak hours
- The lounge historically ran first-come before it began taking reservations
- A reservation is the surer path; a walk-up is the backup
The Space 220 Lounge keeps a share of its bar seating for walk-ups, a holdover from when it ran entirely first-come, first-served. On a quiet hour you may get a seat; during busy EPCOT windows the wait can be long and is never guaranteed. If a reservation matters to you, set a SpotRez alert and treat the walk-up as a fallback rather than the plan.
Do you need a reservation for the Space 220 Lounge?
Not strictly, but a reservation is the reliable way in; walk-up bar seats are limited and unpredictable.
- The lounge takes a limited number of advance reservations
- Some bar seats remain open for first-come walk-ups
- Walk-up availability swings with the time of day and crowds
- Reservations open at the 60-day window like other Disney dining
You can try for a walk-up bar seat, but a reservation is the only way to count on getting in, and those are limited. Because the lounge shares Space 220's demand, its reservations book up well ahead. If your date shows full, set a SpotRez alert; cancellations are common as travel plans shift in the days before a date.
How do I get a Space 220 Lounge reservation?
Book on Disney's site, or set an alert; with a small lounge, cancellation monitoring is the realistic backup.
- Reservations open 60 days ahead, the same window as other Disney dining
- Resort guests can book their whole stay at once; off-site guests book one date at a time
- The lounge's small seat count makes cancellations the common path
- Walk-up bar seats are a fallback, not a guarantee
If you miss the booking window for the Space 220 Lounge, set a SpotRez alert. The lounge and the Space 220 dining room both release cancellations as plans change, often in the days right before a date. SpotRez checks availability continuously and pings you the moment a matching table opens, so you are not refreshing Disney's site by hand or banking on a walk-up.
