Steve Says

I anticipate that there will be No Walk-Ups allowed for a considerable period of time, just as was the case when Space 220 opened. This will be the hottest spot, and the hardest reservation to get at WDW through the end of the year!

Sadly, this opening falls after my next planned research trip in May ☹️. Disneyland is in June, and I won’t be back to WDW till September, but I will try to snag a reservation then and report back.

Wrap-Up

GEO-82 Lounge is set to become a must-visit spot for adults seeking a refined experience at EPCOT. With its unique location, sophisticated menu, and exclusive fireworks viewing, it’s the perfect addition to your Disney itinerary.
