Epcot to Open Adults-Only Lounge Inside Spaceship Earth
It’s happening.
After decades of watching parents white-knuckle their way through 12-hour park days on a steady diet of overpriced turkey legs and suppressed frustration, Walt Disney World is finally throwing them a bone—or in this case, a cocktail.
Disney announced that it will be launching GEO-82, an adults-only lounge, inside the geodesic dome that houses Spaceship Earth—because nothing screams “relaxing, sophisticated nightlife” quite like the slow-moving, existential dread of an animatronic caveman inventing the alphabet.
The Classiest Drinking Experience Inside a Giant Golf Ball
According to Disney, GEO-82 (named after Epcot’s opening year, but let’s be real, also sounds like a classified government project) will serve cocktails and “globally influenced” small plates, which we assume is fancy Disney-speak for "expensive tapas that won’t actually fill you up."
The lounge will feature an elevated, futuristic-themed space with views of the park, meaning it’s only a matter of time before someone gets tipsy enough to try and reenact their childhood by recreating the iconic Epcot ball photo—this time while holding a martini.
“With this new lounge, you’ll feel like you’re discovering an all-new part of Spaceship Earth,” the announcement reads.
Because what better way to celebrate the history of human communication than by slurring your way through a toast to Dame Judi Dench?
Reservations Required: No Strollers, No Screaming Toddlers, No Problem
Before you pack your Mickey ears and your best “I paid too much for this” vacation outfit, be warned: GEO-82 will require reservations.
That’s right—Disney has learned from past mistakes and is not about to let just anyone stumble in, chug a few Space "Cosmos", and attempt to high-five an animatronic Aristotle.
The lounge is also strictly 21 and up, which means exhausted parents everywhere can finally have a brief, kid-free moment in a place where no one is crying about a missed character meet-and-greet.
That is, of course, unless you count the adults sobbing over drink prices.
But Wait, There’s More—Drunk Pirates Are Coming!
GEO-82 is just the beginning.
Later this year, Disney is also launching a Pirates of the Caribbean-themed lounge in Magic Kingdom, because nothing says "historically accurate swashbuckling" like Jack Sparrow-themed rum fights.
While menu details for GEO-82 remain under wraps, one thing is certain: This is the closest Disney has ever come to acknowledging that adults, too, deserve a little magic (and a stiff drink).
So whether you’re toasting to Walt’s vision of the future or just celebrating surviving a day in Florida humidity, GEO-82 is shaping up to be the most important attraction Disney has ever built—because, let’s be honest, nothing enhances the magic like a little liquid courage.
