I’ve been looking forward to visiting GEO-82 for awhile now. So, when my sister and I took our annual sister trip this August, the new bar and lounge was a must-do.
GEO-82 only just opened on June 4, 2025, so it’s still relatively new. Albeit pricey (what isn’t at Walt Disney World?), I had only heard good things about the atmosphere, the decor, the food, the drinks, and the fireworks view. I, of course, had to check it out for myself.
My sister and I visited GEO-82 on August 14, 2025. Check out my GEO-82 review, where I discuss our experience and if I think the adults-only EPCOT lounge is worth your time and money.

What is GEO-82?
Inspired by Spaceship Earth, GEO-82 is an adult-exclusive bar and lounge serving small bites and alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages.
GEO-82 is located inside Spaceship Earth, but not where the ride runs. GEO-82 replaces the former AT&T and Siemens sponsor lounge.
You can see the windows of the lounge above the Walt statue in the World Celebration Gardens.
You can find the GEO-82 entrance by entering Project Tomorrow on the west side of Spaceship Earth.
Once you go through the door, GEO-82 is immediately on your left.
GEO-82 is in honor of Spaceship Earth, which opened in 1982. You’ll see iconic shapes and structures, plus warm and metallic tones creating an elegant and intimate setting inspired by EPCOT’S icon.
Keep in mind GEO-82 doesn’t permit kids inside the lounge. The bar is strictly for those 21 and older.
In order to obtain access inside GEO-82, you must make a reservation in advance. It’s important to note space is extremely limited, meaning reservations are competitive.
You can make a reservation online or in the My Disney Experience app. It’s unclear if a walk-up list will be available in the future.
You can also book a fireworks viewing package here. The GEO-82 Fireworks Experience is bookable online or in the My Disney Experience app.
The package is quite pricey for what you get at $179 per person (plus tax and gratuity). It includes:
- A private table by the window for your party
- Champagne specially selected by Walt Disney World Resort sommeliers (or event-exclusive cocktails, if you prefer)
- A tasting tower of savory light bites, available before Luminous: The Symphony of Us begins
- A selection of sweets during Luminous: The Symphony of Us
How much does GEO-82 cost?
The price varies at GEO-82. Small bites run from $14.00 to $29.00. Cocktails, beer, wine, non-alcoholic beverages are all priced differently. Keep in mind that cocktails are expensive at GEO-82. For example, the “featured cocktails” range between $23.00 and $28.00.
The Disney Dining Plan isn’t accepted here. Annual Passholders and Disney Vacation Club Members also don’t receive a discount.
Below is a look at the GEO-82 menu. There are also allergy-friendly options (be sure to speak with a Cast Member).

GEO-82 Review
My sister and I checked into GEO-82 about 20 minutes prior to our reservation time. After the Cast Member found our reservation, they told us we could go upstairs and sit in the waiting area until our table was ready.
There is a set of stairs and an elevator. You can use whichever you prefer.
Let me just say, I know I’m somewhere special when I’m welcomed with a cold hand towel.
That’s right, after making our way upstairs, my sister and I were greeted with very friendly Cast Members who handed us each a cold towel. This set the tone of the lounge and let us know right away we were walking into a space that offered a relaxing atmosphere.
The lounge even has the coolest waiting area with artwork, decor, and furniture that embodies the details and overall theming of Spaceship Earth.
Our table was ready as soon as we entered the waiting area, which was nice. We were able to sit down 15 minutes prior to our official reservation time.
Keep in mind that GEO-82 doesn’t have a time limit, unlike Oga’s Cantina and The Beak and Barrel. Like I said, this is a relaxing space for adults to chill and indulge.
As soon as we entered the bar and lounge space of GEO-82, I was overtaken by the lights, Spaceship Earth details, and the sweeping view of World Celebration Gardens.
We started our reservation with cocktails, of course. While I prefer beer, I ordered a cocktail, because it only seemed appropriate to try a hand-crafted cocktail to see if it was really worth the price — and for review purposes.
P.S. I still stand by that the beer options at GEO-82 are disappointing. For an upscale lounge, it’d be nice to have an exclusive beer or something from a local brewery. I can order a Miller High Life or Yuengling most places (not that I would, because they aren’t IPA’s, nor are they very good). Here’s hoping they update the beer offerings in the near future.
Now, for my cocktail, I went out of my comfort zone and ordered the Peach Shrub Whisky Smash for $26.00. I don’t like whiskey, at all, but our server assured me since this particular beverage is made with Japanese whiskey, it doesn’t have the same burn as others.
It’s made with Toki Suntory Whisky, Lustau Amontillado Sherry, peach and mint shrub, and bubbles.
Well, they were right. This was so good and absolutely delicious! I would order it again. I couldn’t even taste the alcohol, which is usually dangerous. The peach also came through beautifully.
The cocktail is also served with a house-made shortbread topped with a Sherry mascarpone and peach jelly. This paired well with the Peach Shrub Whiskey Smash. The small bite wasn’t enough. I wanted more.
My sister actually ordered a Spicy Margarita for $17.50, which isn’t on the menu. GEO-82 has a full bar, meaning you don’t have to order off the drink menu.
The Spicy Margarita presentation was on point — and it was made with fresh red jalapeños! My sister is extremely picky when it comes to spicy margaritas, but this one did not let her down one bit. Plus. it’s decently priced.
We also shared two vegetarian-friendly food items that were both excellent!
First, the plant-based Cannellini Hummus for $14.00. This comes with pumpkin seed pistou (a basil, garlic, and olive oil sauce), radish, preserved lemon, Fresno peppers, and pappadam.
I love homemade hummus. There’s a clear difference between store bought and freshly prepared hummus. This did not disappoint.
The one con I have with the hummus is the pappadam. Despite the thin and crispy cracker pairing well with the hummus, it broke apart so easily making it difficult to scoop up the hummus. That said, if you want a lighter snack at GEO-82, this is a solid choice.
We also ordered the Funghi Flatbread for $15.00. As a big fan of pizza and mushrooms, let me just say this was pure heaven.
The flatbread is topped with roasted mushrooms, miso-mascarpone, mozzarella, fontina, pickled red onion, and black garlic molasses.
Yes, this tasted as amazing as it looks. Not all flatbreads are created equal, but this one allowed the mushrooms to shine and the crust was thin and wonderfully doughy. The black garlic molasses also added a punch of flavor. I could easily eat this on my own.
While I didn’t order it this time, I asked our server if it’s possible to order the $29.00 charcuterie board without meat. They confirmed you can absolutely do that and they will supplement cheese in place of the meat. I don’t know if this is worth $29.00, but I may have to test it next time — for science.
Is GEO-82 worth it?
GEO-82 is a welcome addition at EPCOT. I think Disney did an absolutely wonderful job creating this space and menu, all while celebrating the icon that is Spaceship Earth.
It’s the perfect spot for adults to relax and indulge without kids. Yes, Walt Disney World is for all ages, but I am all for an adult-exclusive Disney lounge.
As a child-free adult (by choice), I know plenty of other adults who travel to Disney without kids and appreciate a space that caters to them. GEO-82 does exactly that and I will absolutely come back for the chill vibes.
If you’re someone who doesn’t like a bar or lounge that is more of an “experience,” like Oga’s Cantina, The Beak and Barrel, and Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto, GEO-82 is for you.
GEO-82 also serves as a fantastic space to watch fireworks, escape the heat and weather, and for those who want a more upscale lounge with hand-crafted cocktails and top-notch snacks. While the atmosphere and menu is on the fancier side, it’s still casual.
This is a place for adults to relax, indulge, and celebrate the beauty that is Spaceship Earth. I highly recommend it.
