First Look: GEO-82 Lounge Coming to EPCOT – Opening June 4!
Big news for EPCOT fans: a brand-new lounge experience is on the horizon! Starting June 4, you’ll be able to step inside GEO-82, an adult-exclusive lounge tucked inside Spaceship Earth. Reservations open May 6 — and trust me, you’ll want to grab one!

GEO-82 is designed for guests looking for a stylish spot to relax, whether you’re taking an afternoon break or winding down your night at EPCOT. You'll enjoy stunning views of World Celebration Gardens, all while surrounded by a setting inspired by the iconic architecture of Spaceship Earth itself.
The beverage menu at GEO-82 promises to be something special while still remaining classic. Highlights include the Brown Butter Old Fashioned, a new take on a classic cocktail with brown butter-infused bourbon, and the Clarified New York Sour, made using innovative culinary techniques that make it just as beautiful as it is delicious.
Brown Butter Old Fashioned
Personally, I’m especially excited to try the Strawberry and Coconut ‘Right Hand’, which combines Campari Liqueur, Coconut Cartel Añejo Rum, Carpano Antica Formula Sweet Vermouth, plus the refreshing flavors of strawberry and coconut. I’m also very intrigued by the Caramelized Leek Martini, featuring Fords Gin, Dolin Dry Vermouth de Chambéry, caramelized leek, and pickled onion — it sounds like such a unique and savory twist on a classic martini! Both of these sound like fantastic ways to sip and savor during a relaxing EPCOT evening.
