I hope you’re ready for some exciting news because I’ve got a first look at the menu for the brand-new GEO-82 lounge coming to EPCOT on June 4, with reservations opening on May 6. This adult-exclusive, sophisticated spot nestled within Spaceship Earth will feature a unique beverage program to enjoy as you delight your taste buds with a selection of small bites that are as beautiful as they are delicious.

Whether you’re looking for an afternoon sip and snack or the perfect end to your EPCOT evening, you’ll want to take in the beautiful views of the World Celebration Gardens, as well as the lounge, which takes inspiration from the iconic architecture of Spaceship Earth itself.

Some new sips to discover include the Brown Butter Old Fashioned, which will offer a twist on a classic with brown butter-infused bourbon, and the Clarified New York Sour, which features culinary techniques that make a visually stunning cocktail.

The small bites are also not to be missed while you enjoy your beverages, as the culinary team has expertly crafted these. These dishes feature flavors inspired by dishes from around the globe, including the decadent Jumbo Lump Crab Gâteau and the Truffled Ahi Tuna with aromatic umami flavors.

For a perfect conclusion to your day, reserve the GEO-82 Fireworks Experience as part of the Enchanting Extras Collection for new views of Luminous: The Symphony of Us from tables along the lounge’s windows. This premium experience includes a tasting tower of savory light bites, sweet selections, Champagne poured tableside, and event-exclusive cocktails. I think it’s time we get to the menus, don’t you? I’m pleased to give you a first look at GEO-82.
