STAND BY AT SPACE 220

[rkm]

Are they doing stand by at the Space restaurant or lounge? We have a reservation towards end of our week but wouldn't mind checking them out more than once during our stay. Any thoughts?

From what I've heard (haven't been there), it's more of a one-and-done place.

There were no standby lines for the restaurant last month. They may have had something for the lounge, but that line was closed by the time we got there (11-ish).

It's a unique restaurant, as you soon will find out. We had a fun time there last year when it first opened and were hoping to see it again this past trip, but that didn't happen.

Still hoping to go at some point. The reviews of the place itself have been positive. The food seems to be more hit or miss. Hopefully they have that straightened soon.

May 31 experience but it does sound like the process has not been consistent based on reports here.

We walked up around 9:15 to look, we were on our way to Test Track. No one in line and nothing going on. We returned after our ride at 9:45 and there were about 4-5 parties in line. We joined the line. Folks in front had done before and said they come out at 10:30 to start offering reservation times. By 10:30 there were about 20+ people in line (I know a couple were holding the line for their whole group). The first party was looking for 7 people, one in front of us wanted the bar. They slowly went through and the bar people stayed behind.

Times offered were based on your party size and what they had opening. The couple in front of us was offered opening at 11:30. The party of 7 was given afternoon some time. Our party of 3 was offered 2 pm. Had they offered dinner we would have passed on that price point.

Our day at opening there was one line. There is no one out there to even organize two lines so everyone got in one. As folks got their restaurant times it left behind the bar people. I assume as time went on there might have been two lines developing though. When we went back to eat there was only the bar line, I assume it doesn't take long for open reservations to be filled.

June 25th - Standby line started populating just after 9:00am. Castmember came out around 10:30am and started offering restaurant reservations for later in the day. We were given a noon lunch reservation. Those who wanted to standby for the bar had to continue waiting in line until the restaurant opened. The wait in the heat was brutal.

I wouldn't wait in the line if you have an ADR already. We enjoyed it, but the price is not worth a repeat.
