First Look: GEO-82 Bar & Lounge at EPCOT in Walt Disney World

[JJZMgailey]

The DIS (Corey Martin) was invited to join a small group of select media to get a first look at GEO-82, the new elevated lounge opening June 4, 2025. We had the pleasure of exploring the new space ahead of its public debut.

Everything in the review looks absolutely stunning and immaculate and very classy...everything except the view which is really just...meh considering how much the fireworks package is and how far away you really are and how non immersive it is for the show itself. Besides that I love all the decor and fixtures and color scheme right down to the geodesic ice cube detail. I would love one of those souvenir sets and I'd love to visit here often for drinks but I will not be one of the fireworks package participants. I personally think Luminous has to be enjoyed around WS whereas Happily Ever After can be watched from almost anywhere. Just my opinion!

But great review and great pics!

Really excited for this to open.

Can't wait to go, final product looks a lot better than the renderings to me!

It looks amazing. I'm so happy that the actual lives up to the artist renderings. Disney has disappointed me lately with Communicore Hall and the DVC Sales Center in Canada but they appear to have redeemed themselves here. Can't wait to check it out. This reservation is going to be next to impossible to get!

Is this adults only?

Is this adults only?

Yes, only age 21 and up.

Well dang, I feel like I'm in the minority here who isn't thrilled with this. It gives upscale hotel bar vibes, and the prices are crazy even by Disney's standards.

I’m not jealous but really tired of the special treatment for certain guests .
Makes me want to not experience .
Sorry for being grumpy but it was apparent this was going on yesterday at EPCOT … Does look pretty lit at night

Who are the certain guests and what special treatment are they getting? Genuinely curious since it seems I’m missing something

Did anyone have any luck getting a reservation? I have a fairly long July trip but there doesn't seem to be any availability.

it’s super in demand so even 60+ days before might not be enough if your trip isn’t on the longer side of that +10 part.

I wasn’t able to get an ADR. But I set a dining alert and snagged one that way.

Definitely expected it to be high demand but I optimistically thought I caught it close to when reservations opened. Guess I wasn't as quick as I hoped. Congratulations on snagging one. I hope it's a nice experience!

My first thought. Absolutely stunning, classy and expensive looking ~ a huge upgrade from more recent Disney bars/lounges BUT ............ it could be anywhere and I thought upscale hotel as well.

I tried for ADR from the first minute with alarms set but nothing. One day I'll go for a drink but honestly there is nothing stand out for me.

I'm not knocked-out either. It looks ok, no hurry to try it out

 

[gottalovepluto]

I’m surprised by how much I like the design. Looking forward to seeing it in person, looks very classy! (Will be weird sitting their in my sweat drenched theme park clothes though…)

 

[gottalovepluto]

Someone said the bar looks like it should be in the TVA and I cannot get that out of my head now…

? Drawing a blank, the only TVA I can come up with is Tennessee Valley Authority!

Bar looks fine, I can't see myself going all out for an ADR if it is competitive.

They opened lunch time reservations …but Why would you want to be there for the view of day knowing the night view is only hours away …
