The thing with Disney dining in general is that food is so subjective and tbh most places have mixed reviews, with very rare exceptions. There are places that are near universally loved on these boards that I don’t like at all (I had awful experiences at Tiffins and Beaches & Cream which made them both a one and done for me), and at least one place that everyone says is mediocre and too expensive and should only be a bucket list scratch off that I actually really enjoy and have to hit on every longer trip (CRT). Not only that but with rare exceptions these places are so inconsistent that even the “best” have a bad night at times.
Personally I have seen the mixed reviews of Space and I really don’t care tbh. I didn’t let it deter me from booking it on our upcoming trip, because I think the concept is cool and we had been looking forward to trying it since it was announced. The only thing it influenced me to do was book the lounge because of the greater flexibility and allegedly better views.
That’s before talking about “is it worth it”, my least favorite question in Disney circles. Pricing and value are so intensely personal depending on people’s budgeting that i really don’t think anyone can answer that question except individuals for themselves. Like I don’t find Disney dining all that expensive compared to the real world but I work in Manhattan, home of the $15 Salad Industrial Complex. Somebody in a smaller, less expensive city is most likely going to have a different opinion. And both of us are valid and correct for our circumstances. I also only ever go with one other person tops and not an entire family or large group so my opportunity cost equation is going to be way different. So what’s worth it for me may not be for you and vice-versa. Opinions are great to discuss, I mean that’s the point of a message board, but context for them matters as much imo.
