The Geo-82 logo. Geo-82 is a lounge inside the Spaceship Earth attraction at Epcot.
Ahhh... when you get someone to block the light from the outside door (on the left), you can get a cool photo of the Geo-82 Logo located at the entrance to the lounge. The dark blue space on the right is the "Project Tomorrow" area ... an interactive gallery of sorts that guests walk into – after the Spaceship Earth ride has ended.
Here's one of the coaster at Geo-82. It's paper with gold foil printing.
The Geo-82 Menu cover features the G icon in a gold hexagon. It's a really nice menu cover.
All the cocktails and small bites are listed in the Geo-82 menu, along with some mixology notes and icons.
Our waiter asked if we wanted water and we said "yes, please". Here's what the complimentary water looks like.
There are no taps at Geo-82. All of the beer selections are served in bottles. An interesting limitation that probably has more to do with available space, than anything else.
And this is what an empty beer bottle looks like at Geo-82. The beer at Geo-82 is the least expensive beverage type on the menu, and it really doesn't cost more here, than at any of the other Disney lounges that you could order a beer from.
This is one of the Featured Cocktails, a Brown Butter Old-Fashioned ($28.00 as purchased, Summer 2025). The cocktail is said to feature Woodford Reserve Double Oaked Bourbon, Brown Butter, Maple, and Mexican Chocolate Bitters from the Hella Cocktail Company.
This is a good, well-balanced recipe for an Old-Fashioned. The menu says it's harmonious, rich and steady sipping – and I would agree. It's a good example of what an Old-Fashioned should be.
Geo-82's Old-Fashioned is said to be Brown Butter-washed. I can't tell you how they're doing this at Geo-82 (because I really couldn't hear anything the waiter was saying, so I decided there wasn't much point in asking too many questions) – but traditionally, fat-washing is a complex process. You can't really taste the end result in this particular cocktail or setting – so they might have been better off just adding some brown butter syrup and calling it a day.
There's a cherry wrapped up in that orange peel – which is a nice little surprise. I'm not actually a fan of cherries in general – but within the context of this Old-Fashioned – it makes perfect sense.
The Brown Butter Old-Fashioned does include a Spaceship Earth icon stamped on top of the ice cube in the glass. How well-defined that looks, is slightly dependant on how quickly your server brings the drink to your table after it's been stamped. My Spaceship Earth looked a little more like a shower drain cover – but I digress.
Here's a look at the Geo-82 Menu. It's very cool. The table is also very small. I ended up putting the menu on the floor when the food was served because there just wasn't enough room.
They did a really nice job with the menu cover design. It's one of the more complex menu covers I've seen at a Disney park... and they should be robust as well, holding up to daily use over time.
There's a cool little mixology icon guide on the first page of the menu – defining glassware, ice style, and preparation methods for each of the cocktails on the menu. When you get to the cocktail page – in addition to a text description of the cocktail, there's a row of icons that show you the glass, ice, and mixing method that is used in the preparation of that cocktail.
Across from the cocktail mixology icons, there's a page in the menu that mentions Spaceship Earth – one of the few nods to the nearby Spaceship Earth attraction that we found at Geo-82.
The Brown Butter Old-Fashioned is a cocktail that most servers recommend to guests as being "THE" feature beverage at Geo-82. This is a pretty standard recipe for an Old-Fashioned and includes some verison of fat-washing, with Brown Butter.
The menu cover is very cool. The Geo-82 G Logo is carved into the cover through multiple layers of embossing, debossing, and various coverings.
Each person at the table is given a cool little plate and flatware wrapped in a black napkin... along with a option for a glass of water (far right).
On the Geo-82 menu, this item is called the "Chef’s Selection of Artisanal Cheeses, Cured Meats, and Accompaniments" – and it was priced at $29 (summer 2025).
Even though they don't call this a Charcuterie on the Geo-82 menu, it does more closely follow the 3-3-3-3 rule for a good charcuterie – than I've seen on some other Disney menus.
In the center of the photo is the Jamon Iberico (red meat/ham) surrounded by other elements on the Geo-82's charcuterie plate.
There were three meats, three cheeses, three accompaniments, and three bread(like) elements on the Geo-82 charcuterie. This photo shows all three cheeses and the right side of the plate.
Here's a look at the Calabrese Salami on the Geo-82 charcuterie plate.
There were three cheeses on the Geo-82 charcuterie, one was a soft brie cheese. (The waiter did seem to know everything by name – however, it was too loud in the lounge to acutally hear what he was saying – so I don't know which brie this is.)
The second cheese on the Geo-82 charcuterie was a blue cheese – probably Point Reyes Blue Cheese – that brand shows up on a couple other Disney charcuterie boards now and then.
One of the bread (or "carb") items on the Geo-82 charcuterie was simply called "Cranberry Loaf" – but these were more like cranberry crostini.
The alled "Pecan-Green Olive Brittle" was the most flavorful of the bread/carb items on the charcuterie. It was sweet and almost like a dessert brittle.
Bread and Butter Pickles was one of the three accompaniments on the Geo-82 charcuterie plate.
This is said to be "Peach Chutney"... although it didn't really have much "peach" flavor. It probably looks good on paper, but in real life, it had a mouth feel and body more like a guava jelly that hadn't completely formed or matured.
I love seeing Honeycomb on any charcuterie. Seeing and interacting with the honey, in the comb – is fun.
This Honeycomb, along with Peach Chutney and Bread and Butter Pickles were the three accompaniments on the Geo-82 charcuterie plate – on the day we ordered it. (The charcuterie plate is changed now and then, based on what's available I'm guessing.)
This is the Funghi Flatbread from Geo-82 ($15 as purchased, Summer 2025). It's said to feature Roasted Mushrooms, Miso-Mascarpone, Mozzarella, Fontina, Pickled Red Onion, Black Garlic Molasses.
Everything at Geo-82 could be shared (naturally) but for comparison sake – the Funghi Flatbread was not as large as the flatbreads that you might find in the Appetizer section of Table Service menus around the Disney dining system. It was cut into six smaller slices, if I'm remembering that correctly.
The greenage on top of the Funghi Flatbread at Geo-82 is very pretty – when it comes to eating a small slice – it's a little more practical to pull off greens and eat them as an accompaniment to the small bites of flatbread.
On our visit to Geo-82 (summer 2025) the Funghi Flatbread was the only item on the menu that was "served warm". I suspect, the "kitchen" area is not very large, and that they only have some form of toaster oven to work with.
This is a slice of the Funghi Flatbread from Geo-82. It was pre-cut to this size. If I'm not mistaken, the flatbread was cut up into six slices, all about the same size.
Each of the slices was just large enough to hold at least one roasted mushroom and a couple of pickled red onions – along with a sprig of micro greens.
Each slice of the Funghi Flatbread from Geo-82 was consistently the same – and delicious. All of the elements worked really well together.
The entrance to Geo-82 can look cool... if you get someone to block the light streaming in from the outside door and then process the photo a little bit.
If you don't get someone to block the light streaming in from the outside door, and don't process the photo – the entrance to Geo-82 looks more like a storage hallway on the bottom deck of a cargo ship.
Ooooooo... it's so... narrow. There's no two-way traffic leading to the first "check-in and hold" cue point at Geo-82.
Once you make it through the narrow metal hallway, the room opens up to reveal a curvy wall, with a big G logo on it. There's also a cast member with a little tablet checking guests in (out of frame to the right), and an Otis elevator behind me (also out of frame). However, this seems to be where they park wheelchairs and strollers, so you might not get a good clear photo of the giant G.
Past the first check-in point on the ground level there's winding stairs that lead up to Geo-82 and a small Otis elevator. Between the two – there's a small, copper colored placard with some words etched in it. Behind me, there's a curved wall with a giant G logo placed in the center.
Here's a closer look at the placard placed between the elevator and the staircase. It's one of the few nods, to Spaceship Earth at Geo-82.
On the day we visited, the elevator was broken when we arrived – so we had to take the stairs up to Geo-82's second waiting area. These are slightly wider than the metal hallway mentioned in an earlier photo. The stairs could support two-way traffic, but only if everyone is single-file.
Here's a photo of the second "check-in" area, although there's no "checking in" here. One of the cast members behind this desk handed us a wet, cold towel. For now, it appears that's what the station is used for. The stairs and elevator are on the left side of the photo.
The second floor waiting area has some seating options and some artwork hanging on the walls. These appear to be composite photos printed on some kind of metallic substrate.
There's a small tube tunnel on one side of the room. This is the pathway that leads into the actual Geo-82 lounge area. You're asked to wait in this area until your party's name is called – at which time a cast member will lead you to your table, through the mini tunnel, into the lounge.
The amount of time you'll wait in this room, will probably vary. We didn't wait very long at all. However, there did seem to be quite a number of people waiting here when we left. (You "leave" Geo-82 through the same mini-tunnel and back through this room.)
The second metal tunnel connecting the second waiting area to the "bathroom hallway" – which then leads to the actual Geo-82 Lounge.
As you can see from this photo... the tube tunnel isn't actually very long. The hallway that we're in now – leads past some bathrooms on one side, and a wall of panels, just like the silver panels on the outside of Spaceship Earth.
Here's a cool look at the "bathroom hallway". The entry/exit tunnel is at the back of the photo – the bathroom nook is on the left and the Spaceship Earth panel wall is on the right.
These tiles line the wall of a walkway that leads from the second waiting room to the main lounge room at Geo-82.
These panels are said to be the same size and shape as the panels covering the exterior of Spaceship Earth.
There's only one guest entry/exit point at Geo-82, so when you first step into the main lounge area, you'll be on this side of the room.
This photo was taken from the south west side of the main lounge area at Geo-82 and provides a pretty good look at the entrie space.
This photo was taken near the window and in the center of the dining space. That green "Exit" sign in the background is about where the "kitchen" is.
Here's a view of the Geo-82 Lounge seating area take from the bar.
Here's a photo of the various bottles behind the bar. This is mostly what you'll see if you get seated at the bar counter.
This photo depicts the Geo-82 space with a typical crowd-level. It's not a "quiet" space where you can even hear the person across from you talking too well.
I generally try and stay away from adding editorial to the photo captions, but – in looking at a wide view of the Geo-82 Lounge – there's really very little that screams "Spaceship Earth" to me, in this space. It could be – a lounge on top of any Marriott – in any major city across America.
If you are sitting at the bar (back of the photo) your view consists of bottles and a few exterior panels from Spaceship Earth... furthering my case that this lounge could have just as easily been placed on the top floor of a business class resort hotel, anywhere in America.
Here's a good photo showing the mix of seating options. For me, the swivel chairs near the window are the best seats in the house... because you can look out the window, look at your table, and look at the lounge area – all without leaving your seat.
This photo was taken from the center of the lounge, near the window. There's a total of five "swivel chair" type tables in the photo – and there's another five behind me (the space in the exact middle has been left open, so the single center booth has a view). I have been told, that these eleven tables are the only ones that are used for the separately ticketed dessert party at night – which ensures that everyone has a somewhat unobstructed view outside the windows.
This photo was taken from one of the half-booth tables at the far end of the lounge. It shows the full length of the location.
Yay! I found the perfect "hidden Mickey in the light fixutre" photo location. If you're sitting at one of the half-booth, half-chair tables at the far end of the room – the center light fixture closest to the bar looks like a hidden Mickey!
Here's another photo that shows the full length of the lounge seating area. There are some cool Q*Bert style tiles on the floor – but it's not something that really draws too much attention when you're there.
Here's the view from the center window at Geo-82.
If you happen to be sitting off to one side or the other, the view from inside Geo-82 is still pretty nice.
Honestly, if it wasn't for those blue trash cans and the "ribs of light" sticking up in the background – this could also pass as an elevated view of the garden center at a Home Dept Supercenter.
Here's a closer look at the center planter feature in the "World Celebration" area of Epcot. Because I'm old ... this is roughly where the original fountain was when the whole area was just called "Future World".
The "Ribs of Light" stick up from the center of the World Celebration Garden like the lungs of a dinosaur skeleton. Plus, you can see the spire ,of a recreation, of St Mark's Campanile peaking over the trees from the Italy Pavilion off in the distance.
Here a unique view of the Imagination Pavilion from inside the Geo-82 Lounge. We're kind of looking south west to get this shot – but I might imagine, that if the clouds were just right... you might be able to get a good sunset photo from up here.
Way off in the background, you can see the top of the American Adventure building... which is clear on the other side of the World Showcase Lagoon. Most of the fireworks at Epcot are launched from the center of the lagoon.
That gray bar in the upper-middle part of the photo – is actually the monorail track. I can't actually recall seeing one go by in the time that we were in Geo-82. Probably because the track is pretty far away.
This is "the" center table at Geo-82. It's in the very middle of the room and if the people sitting in the booth can see over the heads of the people sitting in those chairs – they'll get a straight-on view of the tree garden outside the window.
There's actually only three tables that are configured this way at Geo-82 (but there is more half-booth seating elsewhere).
I think – these center island half-booth tables are intended to seat four guest – but you'll have to be careful with your leg placement. There's not a ton of room under the table. Kicking other people in your party or ramming your leg into a table pole is a real possibility.
The guests sitting in the two chairs might have a sideways view of the main window looking out across Epcot – but guests sitting in the booths are pretty much going to be looking at the bar.
There are several tables right next to the window at Geo-82. They all swivel 360° and are pretty comfortable.
There are two tables for two next to the window - at either end of the lounge area. While not providing the perfect "center" view, it's still fun to "people watch" on the pathway down below.
These tables near the window are the ones that are reserved exclusively for the "dessert party" guests. The "dessert party" is a separately ticketed event... so there's zero chance you'll get one of these tables by reserving late in the afternoon and just hanging out for a really long time.
Here's a view of "the" center and window table. This would be the "prime" real estate spot in all of Geo-82.
Because of the way the a/c is set up, and depending on the time of day, it may be slightly warmer by the window when compared to sitting deeper in the lounge area.
Here's a look at the east side table for two in the Geo-82 Lounge. While not really providing a great view out the center window – there is a great view of the walkway leading around Spaceship Earth.
The other type of chair at Geo-82 is this very well padded low-back chair. They all have movable pillows placed at the back of chair.
Each of the chairs that have this hexigonal covering comes with it's own back pillow that can be adjusted however you want. I'm sure the back pillow will never be wet with the previous guest's sweat.
I honestly don't know if these swivel or not. They look like they could – but over the entire time that I was there, I didn't see one preson swivel around – so maybe they don't??? Hard to say.
Here's a quick look at the other half-booth, half-chair option at Geo-82. There's two rows of padded booths along the east and west walls of the location. These are mostly tables for two. The chairs at these tables, do not swivel.
Here's a closer look at those Geo-82 star bust lights. There's a row of these close to the actual open bar area, and another row closer to the windows.
I'm convinced there is a place you could stand to get those ears to appera closer to hidden Mickey's head – but you'd have to be in "just" the right spot – which is difficult to do when the lounge is full of guests.
This is the Geo-82 Lounge – from the outside. It's located directly behind the Spaceship Earth attraction at Epcot.
Taking a few steps back and to the side, we can start to see Spaceship Earth behind the Project Tomorrow and Geo-82 building (the lounge is on the second floor, where all the windows are located). In this photo, the entrance to the lounge (and main check-in desk), would be near a door on the far left side of the photo.
A few steps to the side and backwards finally brings most of the Spaceship Earth building into the photo – but now the Geo-82 building is behind a tree. Is it just me, or does it look like the clouds are trying to form a hidden Mickey with the Spaceship Earth building?
The Geo-82 Lounge is actually behind the Spaceship Earth attraction (but still sort of attached to the geodesic sphere) and up on a second floor — above the Project Tomorrow area. The space had been used as a meeting area for the corporate sponsors of Spaceship Earth.
You can see those star bust lights hanging in Geo-82 from the outside!
Here's a shot of those star burst lights hanging in the Geo-82 Lounge – from the west side of the building.
Here's a look at the Geo-82 Lounge from the outside – standing to the west of the building. At night, you can really see those star bust lights hanging from the ceiling.
The Geo-82 Lounge exterior, at night! It's a great location, from a marketing standpoint – pretty much everyone leaving Epcot will see those lights up there.
We currently only have one rendering of the lounge's interior from Disney — which kind of makes me think someone typed in "brown modern" at Wayfair and used up all their rewards points — but the actual space we get, rarely matches early renderings, so there's hope yet. (Image Copyright Disney)
