Is Space 220 Worth it? Full Review & Our HONEST Thoughts on Epcot's Space Themed Restaurant

- Space 220 is a restaurant located in Epcot's World Discovery section that provides patrons the opportunity to dine in space. After guests check-in they're invited to board a space elevator that provides a scenic ride to a space station located 220 miles above Earth's surface.
Due to the ambitious nature and unique theme of this restaurant, it's usually one of the hardest reservations to secure at Walt Disney World. It's taken us nearly two years to dine among the stars and it was certainly an out of this world experience.
We've eaten at a lot of places at Epcot and while the atmosphere here is incomparable we've heard mixed reviews on the cuisine. In this video we tried out some of their signature offerings, provide insight into the experience and see how this restaurant compares to its competitors at Epcot.

We had reservations for here our last trip, but our plans changed and we had to cancel. I am SO happy to both thought it wasn't worth the price because it was hurting me having to cancel LOL. We did eat at Cali Grill and felt it was definitely worth the price and its crazy that these are the same price. The atmosphere here looks so fun though, but the price tag definitely looks rough for the type of food you are eating, but your steak does look amazing Sam! I agree Jay, a fast casual -old style Be Our Guest would be a better idea. Loved your review guis!! :) Thanks for sharing with us!!
I'd pick Cali Grill over this any day of the week! I'd even pick Hoop Dee Doo Review over this lol We did them both that weekend and Hoop was a great value- beer and wine are in included plus the dinner show is so fun and unlimited food. I wish they'd think about changing the prix fixe here, because it is a unique atmosphere. Thank you for watching :)
It was so nice meeting y’all! 🖤
It was a pleasure meeting you too! Thanks for saying hi 😃.
Great video. You both are so pleasant and so informative. Keep videos coming.👍
We know we were late to cover this restaurant, but we had a hard time getting in, so we appreciate you watching. Thank you for the kind words, we try to keep things fun but also hope the videos serve as a utility to help anyone who is thinking about going :)
You guys are on fire with all the different great restaurants!! Every one you go to makes me think...oh gosh should we go there :). Happy belated Birthday Jay! I am thinking maybe lounge is a good plan? Funny my favorite place is San Angel Inn (pyramid restaurant)...have you gone there? Thanks again for great video
Thank you 😃 and yes! We did a video on it awhile back. It was filmed on our old camera and isn't some of our best work. We really enjoyed the atmosphere and food though. I think the lounge seems preferable over the dinner at Space 220. Dinner was just too pricey and you can get the atmosphere for less with the lounge. We really appreciate knowing you enjoy the vlogs!
Went to the bar and just got the lemonade wasn’t too interested in eating there but wanted to check it out. The cauliflower does look really good though! Happy birthday! Also shocked about the pop rocks lol.
Thank you 😃, it was a memorable place for my first Pop Rocks Experience. The Cauliflower was good but I think you had the right idea. Hoping we can stop into the lounge one day. The atmosphere was incredible but there's better food to be found in Epcot.
Thanks for your honest review! The experience and the food looked really good but definitely not worth fine dining prices! We are excited to try the lounge and share some of the the starters.
I really enjoyed my food but at the end of the day, the price was just not justified. Excited to hear your thoughts on the lounge bites! Thanks for watching :)
Welcome to the weekend! 🙌🏻
Sam, that was my same reaction when Jay said he's never had pop rocks! How exciting! And we are Shooketh and happy at the same time. The drink looks super pretty. And omg fun dip is so good. That filet looked good! As did the short rib but agreed, the short rib at Jiko is tops! One of my favs. That astronaut reminded me of when people wait for the DVD emblem to hit the corner of the TV screen.
OMG that cheesecake 🤤
Pepitas are pumpkin seeds. And they don't look toasted lol.
Thanks for the honest review and I'd love to go one day just for the atmosphere and the sweets 😂
I noticed that the map is a little out of date. I wonder if they will get a new shot when Epcot is eventually finished. Great video y'all!
That astronaut was the DVD emblem 😆. The short rib I had was unfortunately dry although I still did enjoy it. Sam's steak was by far the best entree in my opinion. Carrot cake was pretty stellar too. Happy to know Pepitas are Pumpkin Seeds now! Thought they looked similar. I think if you guys do end up here I'd recommend the lounge. You can get all the pageantry at less cost plus you can just pick the good stuff you want. Although I do think, for the experience, dinner is worth it to do at least once. Price just took us back. It's impressive though, no doubt about it. Definitely needs some freshening up on the graphics once Epcot finishes its transformation. Thank you 😃.
family liked space220 the kids were 14 12 1nd 10 3 of us had filets it was delicious all 3 were different sizes hubbys was tiny. the calamari in NY is delicious😋 i do think space220 can be improved a bit.Happy 33 🥰🤗🎉🥳
My filet was so good but overall I thought the price tag was hefty, but great atmosphere. Thank you Sandy
A birthday truly out of this world! This Man lives for the gooo.
He's a goo guy!
I love Sam's shirt/dress!!! and Happy Birthday!
I always tell Sam her style for the videos is on point. Thank you 😃.
Happy to be a part of jays first pop rock experience! I agree with you, If calamari isn’t crispy, I don’t like it! Same with onion rings. Great informative review as always!
I couldn't believe he never had them! Learn something new every day lol Thank you for your support and kindness :)
Love your Outfits 🥰 probably we would have the Same Food as you guys! 😋
Thank you! Figured we had to go with the signature options. It was tasty and atmosphere was on point 😃.
Never had pop rocks?! So glad you got to experience them.
I was so shocked to learn that- everyone deserves Pop Rocks at least once in their lifetime lol
Happy Birthday man! Soooo…. Disney imagineers hit a home run with this impressive theming of all those large windows looking out to space and the whole experience of transporting to the station; all just being a restaurant. A $6000 2 night stay at Galactic Bunker Starcruiser with riding in the back of a box truck to get to Galaxy’s Edge….. absolute F up disaster. Mind blown!
Thank you 😃, I really appreciate it. Definitely agree atmosphere here is on point. Food was just okay. I don't think the price was justified for either experience. I think Lounge here is the way to go. I wish I could've had an experience on The Starcruiser despite the criticisms. The price was just too high for me to ever be able to afford it.
I love Disney Theming. This looks Soo cool. One day man. Also I’m bringing so many pop rocks for Jay in august. What other candy have you not had?
😆 I think that may be the only one. I was usually able to sneak things I really wanted. There was an incident on a cruise where I asked my Dad for a Snickers Bar on an excursion and he flipped out in front of like 50 people. 3 families tried to sneak me Snickers bars that day 😆.
Those are some good people!!
OMG the youtube algorithm let someone new through, lets give you a shot!
😆 the algorithm works in mysterious ways. Thank you! 😃
I also think I would go with the tomahawk porkchop. It sounds so good
I think I should have went with that but the short rib is their signature and I felt inclined to try it.
Nothing wrong there. Next time lol
How is the mission space ride it self
I'm(Jay) not a big fan. The Orange version is a centrifuge they use to train astronauts in and I'm real prone to motion sickness. The green version is basically just a screen ride. If you like intensity the orange side is intense.
This was a twice and done for me. Did a lunch and a dinner. The atmosphere was a unique experience, but the food was mediocre for both meals. Don’t feel the need to go back.
I would 100% not do the prix fixe again, but interested in the lounge offerings. Thanks for watching!
No pop rocks what
I WAS SHOCKED!!!!
I always take it for granted how easy it is for us out-of-towners to get dining reservations when we're staying on property. In the time that it's taken you to finally snag a rez for Space 220, most of our favorite items from our first (and so far, only) visit have unfortunately already left the menu...at this point I don't even think that the Planetary Punch is still available. 🥲 But I still quite like a lot of what remains! Glad you were both finally able to make it during Jay's birthday celebration. The blue moon cauliflower looked to be pretty solid; I can always get behind a good tempura. We did indeed visit with Mitch and Devon in February of 2022! I don't think we assigned it a proper number value, but the vegan carrot cake was a solid 9 for us 😁 I think it's definitely fair to say that the price point is a little too high for the culinary experience....but I will also say, I am personally _always_ willing to pay a premium for theming and atmosphere. That's why I keep going back to the Rainforest Cafe, after all. For whatever it's worth, I think few places on property are more atmospheric than Space 220! ✨Not unlike Be Our Guest and CRT, this is one of those WDW dining establishments that we know we'll definitely visit again, but can't afford to visit regularly. Great video, guys!
To be fair, we weren't looking that hard for it lol I just checked and didn't see the Planetary Punch- they have definitely undergone a lot of menu changes. The carrot cake was the best part! Space220 definitely has a unique atmosphere and I loved the Stellarvator and astronaut crops. We want to go back and try the lounge offerings. Thanks for watching!
