Eating EVERYTHING at Disney World’s NEW Space 220 Restaurant

This is one small step for DFB, and one GIANT leap for DFB-kind. (Eh, Neil Armstrong did it better -- but you know what I’m getting at.) It’s time to blast-off into a dining experience we’ve been waiting EONS for (or at least since 2017 when it was first announced). It’s the one, the only... Space 220.

I saw Peter and Kitra from Ordinary Adventures, as well as Kevin Heimbach, in this video doing their reviews as well. While they were standing in line waiting to get in, and people were coming out, they were asking people what they recommended. Many people recommended the Buffalo cauliflower, so they tried it and loved it. Peter said that the Buffalo sauce was some of the best he’s had.

Pretty sure AJ was in their video at least twice.

While the theming is definitely fun, I think I would rather spend my money eating a meal (or two at that price) in World Showcase.

[@Lucretiaseesall]

Likewise!!

[@cafecomfungo]

I see your comment is two years old, and by that time I would have agreed with you. But now the restaurant prices in World Showcase are something of surreal. A stake alone in Le Cellier costs more than Space 220 rate. 62 dollars for a fillet mignon. And that with no theme whatsoever. I agree that neither is worth the money, but the 220 at least has that novelty one time appeal, I guess.

[@Deancolby]

Just couldn't wait for DFB's take on space 220-the humor is unique/layout and explanations are simple/direct-love this vlog thank you!- I live my disney life vicariously through you! Sincerely, Dean

[@juanguillermosandoval151]

Yeah on minute 3:28 right?

[@Theheadless1858]

I 100% don’t understand why Disney doesn’t bother to theme their food at their themed signature restaurants. Call it supernova all you want but this food looks super boring. I am sure it is competently executed but a themed restaurant needs creativity in the kitchen. The cocktails look to be fun but at the end of the day Space 220 joins the growing list of “one and done” and “only for the ambience” restaurant offerings at Disney World. A real shame considering there’s so much culinary out-of-the-box talent out there that would be a perfect fit for these types of dining options.

[@troyjollimore4100]

For as many people that would be adventurous eaters, there are about 20x that are scared of anything other than something they readily recognize, and isn't adventurous at all...

[@BakerMadness]

I agree with you... and if the world was just people like us... cool. But WDW has to cater to EVERYBODY. I work in an ice cream shop. we MAKE OUR OWN ICE CREAM and people will still turn up their nose if the flavor falls outside the van/choc/strawberry/ praline group. haha... I don't like it for the Space 220 restaurant, but I get it. You NEEEEEEED people to drop $60 bucks on lunch. need.

[@lindseywilliams9411]

I think this would be a top tier restaurant if they made the menu molecular gastronomy themed. I think this style of food is so cool and work perfectly with the space theme. Decor and theming is amazing, but seems like they barely tried with the menu.

[@LARKXHIN]

I agree but doing something more creative would still probably be a one time option for people for the price.

Aside from Ordinary Adventures I also spotted Molly from All Ears briefly in the background of one shot. How fun.

[@meganlovesdisneyandcrafts4780]

In Molly’s video, you don’t see A.J but they were all sharing the food 😊

[@aliasmjm]

I was just here on Saturday!!! Sounds crazy, but I was so lucky to go on a day when a storm was in the forecast… this meant NO crowds at all!!! I was able to walk in to Space 220 right when it opened and got a table overlooking the restaurant (which was still empty!). I had the flat iron steak - it was delicious. The sauce was amazing and the potatoes were perfect. I also had the cauliflower first course and that was SO good. My beverage was the Nebula. Also amazing. Overall, great dining experience. Not the cheapest place to eat in the park, but definitely memorable. :)

when i went last week i got the calamari as an appetizer and the crab stuffed lobster as my entree with a side of shrimp added and the lemon and raspberry sorbet for dessert….i haven’t been able to stop thinking about how amazing and perfect all of it was. i also had the moon rocks drink as a cocktail and got a rare card in my collectible card pack. we didn’t get seated next to the earth view but did get a window seat. 10/10 experience but you are blessed if you get a good earth view for sure

[@AlbertCalis]

The "Space Elevator" reminds me of the old "Hydrolators" from The Living Seas. For those too young to remember, the original Living Seas pavilion had this room everyone went into which was themed to be a Hydrolator, or an undersea elevator that would take you inside the underwater base, and you had to re-enter these hydrolators to "get back to the surface" to leave the pavilion.

[@kimsharabba5386]

I've been trying to get reservations since Day 1. I'm going to Epcot tomorrow and tried this morning and WHAT! I found an opening at 11:30. I'm SO excited. Thanks for reminding me of all my options! I'm probly going to watch again and plan my menu right this minute! So .... keep trying if you can't get a reservation. People (clearly) do cancel!

Hello, thank you so much for your thoughts. We were there in September 2023 and our menu was slightly different. I will say one of our guests had to leave due to motion sickness.

I love some of the restaurants in Epcot. My wife and I had reservations at the Coral Reef restaurant during our honeymoon (yes, we honeymooned at Disney). We loved the view but it sounded like a school cafeteria in there, we could barely hear each other over the crowd noise. It really turned us off to eating at Disney.

I've been excited for this for years but I gotta say conceptually it seems like everything but the food came together. Granted I haven't gotten to try the food yet though I should in a few weeks since I'm making a visit just to do so. But conceptually the dishes appear to be lacking panache to match the new setting. I thought even if they kept the ingredients basic that the plating would be unique but ik not really getting that vibe out of seeing it.
