I have seen a few posts on this, but wanted to share our most recent experience. First week of Oct, wife and I were with another couple who had never been to Space 220. They really wanted to try it. We have been several times. We DO NOT like pre-fixe meals. I understand why Disney has to do it at some of the more popular restaurants, but I avoid them. So, we got in line at Space 220 for the bar at about 11:00 am. We were numbers six, seven, eight and nine in line. The bar seats 10. We might have gotten a bit lucky. I have heard of others who lined up at 10:30. At 11:30 they opened up and we got it right away.

We LOVED this experience. Here's why: 1. Super hard ADR to get, so this solves that problem 2. Much less expensive 3. Grab a few apps and drinks, so you are not full. Like I said, we like to treat EPCOT like a big buffet, getting lots of food in small quantities. 4. You still experience the theming (elevator, space windows, menu, etc) without the financial and time commitment.

We believe a lot of people don't really like this place because it's so hard to get an ADR, it pre-fixe, it's expensive, and the food is a bit of a let down. But when we do the bar, order the slider, cauliflower, and deviled eggs, plus an old fashioned, we leave super happy!

We recommended this strategy to a group of four who went last week. They did it and loved it as well.

Just our thoughts!
 
This is the best strategy. We have gotten ADR's to the lounge which is a similar experience. But your strategy is perfect - no price fix meal for mediocre food, and you get the experience!
 
We enjoy the restaurant experience itself, but it is time consuming and our kids are really into trying cuisines from around the world at various pavilions. This trip we were able to get reservations to the lounge and I’m looking forward to having a quick visit after a GOTG ride (if I can get the timing right on the VQ/ILL).
