A new lounge is coming to EPCOT, and details about its rules are rolling in.

EPCOT

GEO-82 Bar & Lounge — a Spaceship Earth-themed lounge — is opening in EPCOT on June 4th, 2025, and we can’t wait to visit! So far, we know about some of the food and beverage offerings the lounge will serve, as well as the rule that NO ONE UNDER 21 WILL BE ALLOWED IN. Disney also recently revealed a key detail that will make guests who use the Disney Dining Plan a bit upset.

The newest lounge to grace Disney World, GEO-82 will be a 21+ bar that serves “global flavors blended with culinary artistry in classic cocktails and small plates.” The new lounge will offer specialty cocktails like the Brown Butter Old Fashioned (made with brown butter-infused bourbon), the Clarified New York Sour, and zero-proof cocktails like the Manhattan in the Morning, along with other “world-class wines and spirits, and a classic assortment of beers.”

As for eats, the lounge has teased items “like the Truffled Ahi Tuna and the Jumbo Lump Crab Gâteau“, as well as other small plates.

Unfortunately, if you want to experience any of these offerings with the Disney Dining Plan, you’re out of luck. According to Disney, GEO-82 will NOT accept Dining Plan meal credits.

While dining plan credits can be used at several Disney World bars and lounges, GEO-82 won’t be one of them — at least not initially.
