EPCOT is set to welcome GEO-82, a new adults-only lounge opening later this year. This new space will offer a sophisticated setting for guests 21 and older, featuring innovative cocktails, globally inspired small plates, and impressive park views.

GEO-82 Lounge Design and Theme

The lounge’s design draws inspiration from EPCOT’s iconic Spaceship Earth. Inside, guests will find a mix of rich textures and warm metallic tones, blending with geometric patterns that reflect the park’s signature aesthetic. This intimate setting aims to provide a relaxed yet upscale atmosphere for unwinding after a day at EPCOT.

What to Expect at GEO-82

  • Reservations Required: GEO-82 will operate with reservations for guests 21 and older.
  • Innovative Cocktails and Global Flavors: The menu will feature creative drink options and globally influenced small plates.
  • Scenic Park Views: The lounge will offer a prime spot to take in EPCOT’s landscape.

GEO-82 is the first of two new lounges set to open at Walt Disney World this year. A Pirates of the Caribbean-inspired tavern is also planned for Magic Kingdom, catering to guests of all ages.

Disney has previously said that the new Spaceship Earth lounge will open in late Spring 2025. Details on GEO-82’s reservation availability, and menu will be announced early Spring.

Stay tuned for more updates as Disney reveals additional details about this new EPCOT lounge experience.

    My thoughts exactly. For better or worse there’s nothing here that kids would want to see .

    Ironically, the former Disney Springs president is the new Epcot VP…so Wonders of Life pavilion will definitely be turned into an Inside Out restaurant!

    It was a Hyatt Regency. 😂

    Yes, I don't have an issue with the lounge and keeping it 21+. The concept art, however, just looks so bland. It looks like a blend of just about every hotel bar and airport lounge I've visited over the past 10 years or so.

    By the way some are reacting to the 21+, you’d think they’re putting in a strip club. Which now that I think about it, that might actually help boost EPCOT’s attendance. Disney seems to be digging the Marriott look these days.

    This caused me to look at the 10Q filings and it appears the answer is indeed yes, there are more rooms than 2005. Gran Destino and Art of Animation are 2500 rooms. DVC still represents rooms. Kidani Village, Bay Lake Tower, the Grand Flo DVC tower and Riviera are all rooms. It's certainly not Eisner impressive hotel growth and really not good for 20 years. Something else interesting I just stumbled on is I think people kept saying Disney was fudging occupancy by taking room wings offline. But that is not actually the case. (5)Available hotel room nights is defined as the total number of room nights that are available at our hotels and at Disney Vacation Club (DVC) properties located at our theme parks and resorts that are not utilized by DVC members. Available hotel room nights include rooms temporarily taken out of service. Anyways, this is all very off topic, but interesting to share.

    That art mock up looks just like the hotel bar we spent the evening in a couple weeks ago. 😂 Though that bar actually had color.

    We’ve broke this down pretty much every way over time… Are there “more” rooms on property or less than 20 years ago? The only answer of “more” lies at AoA…because the deluxes have lost a lot of rooms for dvc. So with that sorta “neutral” answer…the growth in travel means there are less spots for the customers Ride capacity? We’ve also done that…bearing in mind that most “new” rides are in fact replacements of older spots…and not necessary a net positive. It’s pretty neutral…for again…more volume. And how about in park stuff? Well that one is easy…they have more distractions such as playgrounds, street performers, meet and greets in the concourses, stage shows? Or less? It’s a good question…but the answer is tangible “capacity” is definitely down from a math perspective… …almost like it wasn’t entirely “unintentional”…unless you believe in coincidence 🤔

    I think the additions of Guardians, Remy, and Journey of Water help offset that a bit. I personally don’t have a problem with it. Anecdotally, I have never witnessed a visibly drunk person at EPCOT… Of course this is obvious, but focusing on food and drinks keeps locals coming back.

    Does the resort as a whole have less capacity than 2005? Honestly asking, I’m sure someone has the fast math. My assumption would be no, but some areas of the resort yes. It’s very fair to say it’s been 20 years and the answer isn’t obviously “Yes”. I think it would have been true in 2015 though.

    Oh, I’m not honestly that upset. As in-park lounges go, for me, this is the least exciting. But, not everything needs to be for me.

    Sirwalterraleigh6 hours ago

    Right? One of the worst ideas ever conceived was that bar in dullville…except galactic line dancing I can’t believe the words “like oga’s” was said in this discussion with a straight face 😱

    Feel the same way, DisneySpringscot is basically what its becoming. What bothers me is the $$$$ they are spending on this project could have gone towards the ride refurbishment itself instead.
