The MouseHub take

Space 220 is the restaurant built onto the Mission: SPACE pavilion in EPCOT's World Discovery, and the meal opens with a space elevator. Viewports show EPCOT dropping away as you climb, and the doors open aboard what Disney calls the Centauri Space Station, 220 miles above Earth. The dining room holds that view for the whole meal, in a daytime version and a nighttime one. The food is a prix fixe: two courses at lunch for $55 a head, three at dinner for $79, with children at $29 and $35. Dining plan meals are not accepted here.

Reviewers come away rating the room well above the plate. The cooking is competent modern American, and the entrees read as fair rather than remarkable next to what the check comes to. Families with a child who loves space call it a trip highlight anyway, since the elevator and the windows do work no menu can. Adults booking on the food alone are the ones who leave doing arithmetic.

Reservations
My Disney Experience offers Reserve Dining here and no walk-up list, so a booking is the way in. Disney calls a confirmed reservation for every guest, regardless of age, highly recommended, and reviewers describe booking the moment their window opens.
Value
Lunch is $55 per adult and $29 per child, dinner $79 and $35, before $9 sides and the dinner supplementals at $20 and $22. Reviewers say the money buys the room, not the cooking.

The good

  • The elevator sells the premise
    Disney describes the ride up as an ascent to the stars, with viewports giving an aerial view of EPCOT as you travel above the planet. The story is running before anyone reaches a table.
  • The window changes between lunch and dinner
    The panorama runs a daytime view of Earth and a nighttime one, so the same room looks different depending on which seating you book.
  • Picky eaters have somewhere to land
    Behind the space names sit a burger, a New York strip with fries, and a pad thai with a choice of tofu, chicken, or shrimp. Kids order chicken tenders or macaroni.
  • Children get their own full menu
    The kids' prix fixe is an entree, a dessert, and a drink at lunch, with an appetizer added at dinner. The entree list runs to six dishes, including a beef tenderloin in the evening.
  • Servers stay in character
    Cast members play space station crew, talking about the commute up from Earth and pointing out what is drifting past the window.
  • The room is a genuine break from the park
    It is dim, cool, and quiet enough to hear the table, which reviewers value as much as the theme by the middle of an EPCOT afternoon.

The bad

  • The set price ignores your appetite
    Lunch is $55 per adult and dinner $79 whatever you order. Children pay $29 and $35 on the same terms, and a light eater pays what a hungry one does.
  • Extras stack on top of the prix fixe
    At lunch the two courses are the entree and the dessert, so an appetizer adds $14 to $19. Sides are $9 at either meal, and the dinner lobster and rib eye run $22 and $20 above the set price.
  • Dining plan meals are not accepted
    Disney says so on the restaurant page. A family who has already paid for the plan pays for this meal again out of pocket.
  • The plate does not match the room
    Reviewers describe the steaks and seafood as fine and unremarkable. The gap between the check and what arrives is the complaint that repeats most.
  • Not every table faces the window
    Seating runs back from the viewport screens, and visitors who booked for the view and drew a back table say it changed the meal.
  • There is no walk-up list to fall back on
    My Disney Experience carries a Reserve Dining button here and nothing else, so a party arriving without a booking is down to whatever the podium can do. Reviewers report reserving the morning their window opens and finding nothing left when they check again.

Veteran tips

  • Book lunch for the same room
    Lunch is $55 per adult against $79 at dinner, and $29 per child against $35. Same elevator, same windows, one fewer course.
  • Budget for an appetizer at lunch
    The lunch prix fixe covers the entree and the dessert only. Blue Moon Cauliflower is $17 and Starry Calamari $19 on top of it, while dinner includes an appetizer in the $79.
  • Mind the half hour it closes
    Disney posts lunch as 11:30 AM to 3:30 PM and dinner as 4:00 PM to 9:00 PM. Nothing is served in between, and a late lunch seating still carries lunch pricing.
  • Ask about a window table at check-in
    Tell the podium you would rather sit near the screens. It may cost you a wait, and the host may not be able to do it, so decide first how much the view is worth.
  • Collectible cards come with a drink, not the meal
    Moon Rocks at $13 and Starship Lemonade at $16 arrive in a Space 220 collectible cup with collectible cards. The drink inside the kids' prix fixe is a soda, milk, juice, or water, and the cup costs $5 more, a glow cube another $5, or both for $8.
  • Try the lounge if the prix fixe stings
    Space 220 Lounge sits next to the restaurant and sells small bites and cocktails a la carte, which buys the elevator and the room without the set price.
  • Know the no-show fee before you book
    The card on the reservation is charged a per-person fee if you miss it, or if you cancel or modify outside the policy. The details arrive with the confirmation email.
  • Raise allergies when you arrive
    Disney asks guests to speak to a cast member about an allergy-friendly request, and to ask for a Special Diets Trained Cast Member on arrival at the location.
