For all the Disney fans who’ve spent years asking for something a little more grown-up, your wish just came true. And no—it’s not a specialty drink cart or a limited-time event. This is something completely new, and it’s here to stay.
Disney just introduced an adults-only lounge right in the heart of EPCOT. That’s right. A space that doesn’t just cater to adults, but exclusively welcomes them. If you’ve ever strolled through the parks dreaming of a quiet, upscale spot where you could escape the crowds and sip something that didn’t come with a bendy straw—this one’s for you.
And of course, it wouldn’t be Disney without a unique souvenir to mark the moment.
Inside GEO-82—EPCOT’s Exclusive Lounge for Adults
The lounge is called GEO-82, and it’s tucked inside EPCOT’s most famous structure: the Spaceship Earth sphere. The name pays tribute to EPCOT’s launch year, 1982, but the vibe is sleek and modern—more cocktail bar than theme park pit stop.
You won’t find chicken nuggets and soda here. Instead, think Truffled Ahi Tuna, upscale crab cakes, and handcrafted cocktails like a Brown Butter Old Fashioned or a zero-alcohol Manhattan with brunch vibes. The drinks and food are as stylish as the décor.
But what really sets this space apart is who can’t go inside. GEO-82 is strictly 21 and up, marking the first time Disney has implemented an age restriction like this in a permanent offering at EPCOT.
A Chill Break for Grown-Ups Only
This isn’t a spot you’ll stumble into. You’ll need a reservation to get in, and there’s limited capacity—adding to the feeling that this is something a little special. It’s not about keeping others out—it’s about giving adults a place to breathe, connect, and recharge without the usual theme park commotion.
GEO-82 feels like a natural step for EPCOT, a park already known for being a little more grown-up compared to Magic Kingdom. From festivals to wine tastings, this new lounge just fits the park’s evolving personality.
And Yes, There’s a Must-Have Popcorn Bucket
To celebrate the opening, Disney released a new collectible popcorn bucket that’s already flying off shelves: a glowing, Mickey-shaped balloon bucket styled after Spaceship Earth. If you’re a Disney collector—or just love quirky souvenirs—you’ll want to grab one before they disappear. There’s a two-per-person rule, but you know how quickly these things go.
The timing of the release feels intentional. The bucket isn’t just a fun extra—it’s a nod to the larger idea that Disney is embracing more tailored experiences for specific audiences. In this case, the adults who’ve long wanted their own little corner of the park.
Is This the Start of Something Bigger?
What makes this new lounge especially interesting is that it’s not replacing anything else. Disney isn’t cutting out nostalgia or repurposing a beloved attraction. They’re simply adding something new—and different—for a group that’s grown alongside the parks.
Whether this is a one-off concept or the beginning of a broader shift toward adult-exclusive experiences, one thing’s for sure: fans are paying attention.
GEO-82 is a bold step that proves Disney’s willing to try something different. And for the crowd that’s been asking for just that, it’s a welcome—and long overdue—move.
