Space 220 Restaurant in Epcot at Walt Disney World | Disney Dining Review

[@ginatownsend9669]

I compend you guys for being so honest about your reviews!! Not all vloggers are as brutally honest as you guys are!! So, thank you for that!! I'm sure other viewers will appreciate it too!!

[@AddictedtotheMouse]

Thank you!

[@badwolf323]

I love that you both give your honest opinions on the prices!! Thanks for sharing!!

[@vickybluebaugh6078]

Thanks for sharing your honest opinion of Space 220. You saved my husband and I over 600.00 dollars.

[@crystalrobinson916]

Thank you so much for sharing an honest review. New to planning a Disney Vacation.

[@reginafallangie2867]

We’re going for the gimmick! My son is going to love the “ride” in the elevator & view of space (& the kid in me). U only live once & for us, our upcoming trip will be a trip of a lifetime. But I appreciate heads up that the food won’t b amazing. (I do hear that the dinner 8oz filet mignon is one of the better menu items, so my fingers are crossed for that)

[@AddictedtotheMouse]

Nice! Enjoy it!

[@relocatingtodisney9044]

If you want a great steak and good theming, go to Texas Roadhouse and save $120

[@AddictedtotheMouse]

Lol, been there many times. Definitely cheaper for sure

[@CView]

Love your honesty. Disney fans are often blinded by their affection... Appreciate the candor - keep up the good work!

[@leem7094]

Been there, done that, one and done. Totally agree with everything you said.

[@findingjoyR1513]

I love your channel and really appreciate the honesty you guys bring. With that said I have to say my family and I just went here in July of 23" and it was amazing. On our trip we did O'Hana, Boma, Sanaa and Teppan Edo in addition to Space 220. Space 220 was hands down our best dinning experience. I hope you guys go back and give it another try sometime. I feel like the staff and food deserves another shot.

[@AddictedtotheMouse]

Thanks so much!! That’s great that you loved it! Maybe we will give it another try sometime

[@TheDeloutre]

Thank you for the honest review...gonna cancel our reservations. We were not sure about it.

[@mochad2550]

I am 2 yrs late on this review. I have been watching your videos from time to time but I am planning a trip and looking to become an annual member finally and I live in Florida! Your honesty is so refreshing! I have to join your patreon!

[@AddictedtotheMouse]

Thank you 🙏

[@michaelcertain415]

I just found your channel last week. You guys are great! We are going to Space 220 next month, but at the recommendation of several vloggers, we have reservations for the lounge. A couple of appetizers for our table of 7 (and after your review of the drinks), and a couple of soft drinks, we will be off to the Flower and Garden Festival booths for creative and delicious food. We'll tip appropriately, as if everyone ordered a drink and an appetizer, but we don't want to fill up here when there is so much great food just footsteps away.

[@AddictedtotheMouse]

That’s a great plan and the only way we would do Space 220 again. The lounge is a perfect place to soak up the cool ambiance and not have to pay for the full meals. Enjoy!!

[@janeleslie4192]

Wow, I was on the fence about this place but your experience sealed the deal. I will be watching some more of your videos. 👍

[@veromikes]

We went in December and had an amazing meal,service & the atmosphere was incredible.The vegan carrot cake was memorable as well. The Horizons Easter eggs blew my mind.

[@daisycocoa2557]

So true. One and done.

[@UnicornKyle90]

Just listened to your podcast about 21 things not to do, you mentioned space 220, so I had to come watch the video. Thank you for this! Also your podcast is helping so much with my disney trip in Januray

Awesome, have a great time!!

[@kisim7088]

I really love this review so much i watched it more than once. Would love to see you all do the lounge. We ll be doing lounge for an appetizer then doing flower and garden.

[@kellyv7728]

Wow! That’s a bummer for you two but thanks for the honest review..When you described the drink with space ice cream and it came out with a quarter size slice of an ice cream bar I almost lost it!!! I can’t believe that was the creation they came up with for $17 and the McDonald’s fries 😳 I feel like they charge you so much because you take the elevator ride to space…better luck next week!

[@AddictedtotheMouse]

We thought the same thing 😂😂. Next week’s was MUCH BETTER! We ate there Tuesday 😊

[@ladysteel6019]

You know the elevator to “space” is actually an animation and you never go to any space.

[@kellyv7728]

Yes we know I was being sarcastic

[@robertgp124]

Agreed with your review. We ate there today for lunch. The food was okay (salmon, pad Thai), service was good, but extremely expensive ($190 for 3 people). We were seated next to a window (yay!) but felt like Charlie Brown (“I got a rock”) as we kept seeing the same meteor fly by and not much else.

[@AddictedtotheMouse]

“I got a rock” 😂

[@geneandelman4857]

Family is going WDW next week. Can't thank you guys enough for taking the hit for your viewers. I already had a good idea this restaurant was poor value. You two confirmed that this is a really bad deal and thank you.

Have so much fun!

[@emilydauer8359]

I love watching Dan and Leslie's videos each week! I also highly recommend listening to their podcast. I listen to it while driving to school and it makes my day so much better. My mom and I have started a list of places we want to eat at/food we want to try because of their recommendations. (I also look forward to seeing their cat pop in during each video, she's the real star of the videos😁)

@@AddictedtotheMouse You guys are my new favorite channel to watch when it comes to dining reviews! Would you two please consider visiting Trader Sam’s Grog Gotto, any of the food places at Galaxy’s Edge in Hollywood Studios, Via Napoli and Gideon’s Bakehouse? I plan on trying some of them out when I go down in October. Thanks!

[@queenmakesamess473]

We really liked it but it was before the menu change. Enjoyed the cool zen space vibe. I had that wonderful lobster and crab globe and it’s gone now. Wah. But yes. Expensive.

[@AddictedtotheMouse]

I heard really great things when it first opened too. Unfortunate

[@joannewilliams41]

So good to get a really honest review - thank you 😃 xx

[@Dawnfluh]

We ate there at the beginning of March for lunch and we were so let down. We saved it for our last full day and I truly felt like it made our whole trip feel flat. We wish we would have went to Le Cellier or would have went back to Steakhouse 71. Was totally a one and done for us and I haven’t been able to recommend it to anyone. Will be really interesting to see if things change or if they change it from a Prix fixe menu

[@josephbulla7776]

this restaurant is one of a Kind, who cares about the money, it's the experience!!!

[@AddictedtotheMouse]

lol, you are definitely Disney’s prime demographic

[@OfficialSapphirePhoenix]

I REALLY appreciate the honesty and it's refreshing during a time when people reviewing Disney as their main channels are somewhat drinking the Disney kool-aid and don't really ever criticize things fairly. I'm going in a month and was wondering if this was worth the reservation and I'm glad I skipped this

[@champmeister]

I laughed out loud when I saw that spaghetti dish

[@allwillbeproven]

I watch so many Disney vloggers. It’s refreshing to see people give honest opinions. I think a lot know their bread and butter is getting people to Disney.

[@AddictedtotheMouse]

Thanks!

[@naimbideiwy5266]

Wow that is rough for lunch! I honestly like Chef’s de France at Epcot, the servers are really attentive each time we have went and have some great memories there.

[@AddictedtotheMouse]

We’ve only eaten at Chefs de France once but enjoyed it

[@GotmerKed]

Going in August, we were going to go for lunch but now I think I'm just going to switch to a lounge visit, just to go on the elevator and see the restaurant.

[@mollyoreilly9670]

Thanks for the honest review 👍

[@callingelvis7356]

Won’t be going there guys! Thanks for the warning! Lol

[@channelabdullaev]

Another thing… a lot of us are not residents there so we cannot afford any “one offs”. It has to knock out the park for that cost. I’m glad you’re being so brutally honest and not schilling out there! I think maybe it was super on point when it first opened especially to influencers, but now the newness has worn off (but not by much - my goodness!) and now the quality is starting to calibrate? Who know…

[@jacquelynkappus3345]

I felt like you went in with a negative mindset. My boyfriend loves the elite dangerous game and I think he'd absolutely love this!! Went to a restaurant in China and was a bit underwhelmed, but the food was DELICIOUS!! And that was almost $300 with annual discount. I like the 4.5 rating. I think the experience of the restaurant itself is more important here than the ambiance (meaning the kids running around and the staring girl) . It's easier than you think to zone people out that are around you. And I would've just maybe smiled and asked if there was something I could help that person with (the staring girl). I feel like speaking up is the biggest component here.

[@AddictedtotheMouse]

I think we will agree to disagree here 🤣. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@P4r4m0r34ever]

Recently went and they in my opinion have improved the food…Also went at 2:50pm. Had a nice alcoholic beverage as well. Over time, I believe they may have taken note of criticism reviews and changed it up. Yes the price is crazy…It’s a one time experience unless we manage the lounge which is more affordable I hear.

[@livingmytruth2289]

Damn i loove the honesty i am subscribing

[@AddictedtotheMouse]

🙏🙏

[@PeachesP27]

WOWZERS, I am so glad I saw your review, before we tried to get in there. I might still try to go to lounge b/c I heard you can order a la carte, and that could potentially be nice to get to experience all of the hype, without that big bill in the end. Thank you for posting!

[@AddictedtotheMouse]

Yes, I think the lounge is the way to go if you can get a reservation

[@FarraRoxx]

love your videos!!

[@melissalee333]

Thank you for the review. I’m so sorry you had such a bad experience. That drink with the piece of ice cream sandwich was such a joke. Definitely too expensive too.

[@AddictedtotheMouse]

Agreed 🤣🤣. Oh well, we’re glad we experienced it and also glad we don’t need to do it again 🤷‍♂️

[@thecoolestdad]

I'd just like to say, my daughter and I ate there as well back in the first week of April. She got us reservations at the last minute and we decided to try it. Yeah we get it, that it's all hyped up. But we still wanted to try it. Well I am a money miser, penny pincher and I can't stand paying a lot for food, especially at Disney. So we were sat on the lounge level at a table across from the bar. Not bad. We never buy drinks of any sort, we are non alcohol drinkers. We drink water only for meals. That saved some money. We ordered from the limited menu for the lounge and I'm glad we did. WAY TOO EXPENSIVE! We got two appetizers and shared. We had the same as yall, the cauliflower and they were good. We also got the brisket sliders with fries and they were actually good as well. We found out later that even if you are seated in the lounge that you can still order the full dinner menu, but we knew how expensive it was so we settled for two appetizers. It was plenty and we got a snack later. The atmosphere was ok, nothing to write home about. The space scenes were like, yeah, cool, ok, well I looked at it, that's enough for me. It just wasn't a big deal. There was no excitement in it at all. This whole presentation is certainly not over the top as it has been hyped up to be. It was more noisy in there than I prefer, but I dealt with it. My opinion, this is a "one time" place to eat and check out the "cheesiness" experience. I have to say that our food was good. I have no complaints about the food at all. I mean it was battered and friend cauliflower with a buffalo type sauce which was good, at least to me. My daughter wasn't crazy about it. The sliders were very good and the fries were good as well. They weren't over cooked or undercooked. I have to admit the fries were quite good. So bottom line: food was good, no complaints except for the price. Atmosphere, ambience, thrill, experience- not so much. Too cheesy, too hyped up, and not as exciting as we all have heard, as we all know, Disney is experts at over hyping up something new, when we all know it is not as great as they make you think it is. Prime example: the failed new Star Wars Hotel experience. I've seen plenty of videos on that terrible experience. So lastly, would I eat at Space 220 again? Maybe, and that's a very HUGE maybe. But mostly, I never will again.

[@silverbird1404]

I agree 100%. My family are there two weeks ago and it was very average. I will not be eating Space 220 again anytime soon.

[@johnwatson2003]

Guys I’m so happy I watched this video, I’ve been dreaming on going to this restaurant since it open!!! Glad to know. You save me a good amount of $$$$$$ thank you so much ❤

[@AddictedtotheMouse]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@TheMaxRebo]

Space 220 is the hardest restaurant for me to give advice on as I do think it is a unique and cool experience (and that is something I look for at Disney), and I will say I enjoyed the food more than it seems like you did (it wasn't great, but it was good) - but the price is such a killer. If lunch was $39 instead of $55 be a lot easier to take. So, I do say if you are really wanting to try it, go for it as I think the food is good enough and the experience unique, but firmly a 1 and done for us

[@zerooog1traveller113]

The theming and service is nice but when it's too full the ambiance is just not good some of the foods are pricey and not a lot of portions but a good place to eat if you want to getaway from the actual park.

[@stephan5278]

I've watch almost all of your reviews and I love your honestly. I've been to Disney more than 50 times over 25 years. I feel like you should prepare yourself for more disappointments. I just don't think the Disney dining experiences are what they used to be. Many seem to be overpriced and underwhelming. Love you guys, please keep the honest reviews coming!

[@NoBSEateries]

Oh no! I keep hoping that Space 220 will see these reviews and get better. The price is a little insane too! -S

[@EpicAdventureCouple]

Hello we went when it first opened. It’s a fun dinning experience not a 4 star RESTAURANT. Check out our review on where Not To Sit

[@kevinarnold4007]

We did Space 220 for the first time a few weeks ago, and WTF?! My first impression was that it actually looks better on IG and KZbin than in person. It felt sooo cheap! Your basically paying out the ass to sit in front of a big screen that looks like google earth! Random objects float around in the distance but fail to ever challenge our sense of visual scale, they just seem like small toy models. So much room for improvement, but that starts with getting rid of Chapek and getting back to WDW as a leading standard for theme park entertainment.

[@kassidyhunt4406]

I absolutely love you both! I started listening back in august last year before my 2nd ever trip to dis with my bestie and I became obsessed! I listened to you guys every single day, all day at work and not only did it make my work day better and more fun but you guys inspire me so much! I am a Disney obsessed person it’s crazy lol but it’s so nice to see I’m not alone and others love it like I do! I will say I am so so sad your experience wasn’t great at 220 because to be completely honest my friend and I went last year and we LOVED IT we thought the food was so, soo good but I noticed your steak and fries looked totally different from what I had like what’s up with that 🤔 I don’t know and I have to admit the price is outta control just the price increases in general but especially 220 but I still appreciate your honesty and opinions as you guy are in my top 3 fav Disney podcasters/KZbinrs! Much love 🖤🖤🖤🖤

[@AddictedtotheMouse]

Thanks so much for listening and for sharing this! We heard amazing things from people who went last year but 220 went through a menu change this year and I don’t think it was for the better. Maybe they should go back to the way it was when it first opened 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

@@AddictedtotheMouse I 100% agree it! When I saw you guys’d plates I thought what happened to good fancy food! It looked so cheap and almost store bought home made like not worth almost 100$ a plate that’s for sure! I’m sorry you guys paid that much and had yucky foods 😷

[@kimt8162]

Yeh, I went to the Space 220 Lounge. For the average family, the prices for lunch and dinner I feel are too "out of this world". In other words, it's a once and done thing. Like many people, we are getting a little upset, yes upset with Disney and these prices. We love Disney, but we also know what it's like to be a parent and the costs of just regular things with having kids these days let alone also on vacation.

[@JIMFED63]

Great review, my wife and I are putting a list together for restaurants we want to eat at when we move there next year. I’m definitely not going there for that money. We will be in Florida 6/1-6/4 and heading to the design center to pick out our finishes for our new home. We made reservations for whispering canyon cafe for breakfast, can’t wait to see that place. Dan, have you ever been to Fenway ? Our daughter works for the New England Patriots. By the way I sold 5 of my 8 cars already keeping 3 😁

This helps justify not getting a reservation there for our trip in a few weeks.

My kids would not have much to eat there either and I don't want to shell out that much money for something they aren't going to like.

Thanks! Homecomin has been amazing every time we have been. Nah, I don’t think there was a “problem” with the food that she could have fixed (other than the steak being over cooked), I think it came out pretty much as the chef intended. It’s just overpriced for what it is 🤷‍♂️

[@erincoffman7748]

I think it’s important for people viewing this to know you can book the lounge instead of the traditional dining. I really enjoyed the lounge experience because there was no prefixed cost, I got a decent drink and a good appetizer. That being said 100% everything is over priced for quality, but the lounge is priced a la carte so you don’t have to be saddled with a huge bill! So if you were really looking forward to seeing the restaurant for the theming but don’t want the disappointment look into a lounge reservation!:)

[@marylepine7091]

Oh boy!! This is DISAPPOINTING to hear! We got a reservation this June. We were struggling with the price for a family of six. We were hoping the food was worth it. Now, I am thinking we may need to change it. 😬

[@AddictedtotheMouse]

Just know what you’re paying for if you decide to go. It will make that large bill at the end not seem quite so bad. Epcot has a ton of delicious food in other areas, albeit sans space elevator.

[@yodaheather]

I have to agree: Space220 = very underwhelming. We also had our first try at The Creperie last trip and just as underwhelming for the cost. Our Calamari seemed like it sat under a heat lamp for 30 minutes. The short rib sliders, one had a piece of meat, -no lie-, the size of a millimeter thick postage stamp. It was lost on the tiny slider bun. Creperie was equally a let down. Boring, not as good as the cart, they make you pay if you want whip creme on the dessert crepe. Really?! The coffee served lukewarm with no flavor. I really wanted to love these places. Gosh we’ve been tracking Space220 for years waiting for it to open. The Creperie was a let down. Even the food booths are more and more a let down. Epcot food game is riding on past glory. Resort dining is where it is at today. They don’t take you for granted.

I had really wanted to go when i saw the concept, but i kept having to talk myself into the amount of money for such little food. If the food is just mediocre, it isnt even worth it. I know I can do better at Boma or O'Hana for just as much.

Thank you!! I am definitely NOT going now. And for those of you with terrible parents with rotten children, you should stay home and or be taxed for your awful behavior.

[@TheGoofy1932]

Yes, this is like the Castle 🏰. One and done ✔ if you want the "experience ", but highly over priced for mediocre at best food. Not worth the money-at all. 👎If you just have to see it then do the lounge-it's much cheaper. Though the drinks 🍸 are sadly, not any better. 🤣

[@TerryandRicky]

The only part of the review I take issue with is the ambiance. I don’t think you can blame a restaurant (where children are allowed) for the awful ambiance, because it’s a case of bad luck. At some of my favorite restaurants, I’ve had singular awful experiences because I happened to be seated near wild children. Let’s blame the parents of those children and not the restaurant. To also be fair, I think the lady who kept looking over at you did so because you captured her interest by vlogging, which is odd to see, and she was just perpetually nosy after that. I’d like to give the lady who didn’t seat you near the window the benefit of the doubt that she truly thought you’d be getting a better vantage point to take in the whole visual experience by not sitting right next to the window. With open window tables available, she can’t possibly have an ulterior motive to lie to you.
