Space 220 Lounge - I think it's a myth....or just incredibly annoying

[japanese maple]

Has anyone ever gotten a reservation here? I've tried the past 3 trips and there is never ANYTHING available.

Does anyone have luck with walk-ups for a party of 2? I was thinking when we get to Epcot, try and put our name on list as soon as it opens and then maybe we'd get called at some point in the day?
Do they even take names?

Kind of ridiculous at this point.

Keep checking the app - last couple of trips we were able to find day-off availability in the app.

I go to WDW several times a year and always manage to score Lounge ressies. My stays are a bit longer and I’m usually able to find availability day 5 forward. If your visits are shorter than that, then continue to search. I think the success rates are in direct proportion to your persistence in staking the website.

Used to be the only standby available was for bar seating. Be prepared to wait since I don’t think they ever took names and notified people. Never hurts to ask, though.

Keep checking! I often see openings the day before actually…. People cancel all the time!

We take 9 day trips so it's not that, but also we aren't going to rearrange our schedule just to go there. We make reservations this coming Friday, so I'll try for that one first, but I looked as if making one today and there was nothing available thru September! Last trip I checked every day up until we left. When we are actually on the trip, then it's kind out of out of sight/out of mind.

If they don't take names, we won't wait for it. We don't want to waste time just hanging out there.

Oh well! We will see if I can get one Friday or I'll just keep checking.

Let's just say this is a real exchange that happened between me & my friend while refreshing for day-of dining reservations:

Me: "OMG. Space 220 Lounge just opened up. Should I grab it?"
Friend: "But you hated that place.."
Me:"I know! But it's so hard to get!"

We walked up, there were three adults in our party. It was not around a meal time--maybe 2-3 in the afternoon. It was underwhelming, but I sure understand why anyone would want to try it at least once. The only way I'd return is if someone else in our party really wanted to go.
