Nobody is safe from the Disney World price increases…

EPCOT
From tickets to dining to experiences, we’ve seen a ton of price increases at Disney World over the past few days. We have another price update for you, only this change is a little different than the rest!
EPCOT is known for its dining! After all, we are in the middle of the Food and Wine Festival. There are a lot of places that we love to go to, and one of them is the Spaceship Earth lounge, GEO-82. The lounge offers delicious appetizers, unique drinks, and even a fireworks experience for Luminous: The Symphony of Us. Disney just announced a price change for the popular lounge, and it’s going to change how you book your reservation.
You can enjoy GEO-82 at any time of the day from 11 AM to 9 PM. However, one of the best times to go is during the fireworks. The GEO-82 Fireworks Experience is a special ticketed offering where you can enjoy a stunning view of Luminous: The Symphony of Us from a private table next to the window at GEO-82, with the music for the production piped into the lounge.

There used to be a fixed price of $179 for the experience, but Disney has announced that the GEO-82 Fireworks Experience at EPCOT will now be using date-based pricing. Tickets range from $179 to $194 per person, depending on the day that you go. This price change will now impact how you go about making your reservations for this experience. Those popular nights are going to get pricier, especially if you’re going with a big party.

The fireworks experience is exclusive to guests 21 and older. There’s more that comes with your ticket outside of just a gorgeous fireworks view. The experience also includes:
- A sommelier-selected champagne (or event-exclusive cocktails, if preferred)
- A “tasting tower” of savory bites before the fireworks
- An assortment of sweets during the fireworks

You need to check into the lounge 60 minutes before the evening’s fireworks show. Luminous typically begins at 9 PM, but fireworks may start later during peak crowd seasons, such as the holidays, or throughout the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival and the EPCOT Festival of the Holidays. You’ll want to check the start time when making the reservation.

On the fence about this experience? Did you book it already and want to know what to expect? Deciding between a regular reservation or fireworks? Take a deep breath because we’ve got you covered. See our full thoughts on GEO-82 below!

It’ll be interesting to see if the price change impacts how many people book certain days. Will the lower-priced dates see even more people at GEO-82? Will the more expensive dates have fewer people at GEO-82? Only time will tell. We’re here to update you on all the latest Disney news, so make sure to stay tuned to the Disney Food Blog.
