EPCOT New GEO-82 Spaceship Earth Lounge Coming to EPCOT

Trying to sit on barstools like that is a major pain in the butt. There is a reason barstools are supposed to swivel.

Don't pull it out. Sit on it sideways and then swivel your legs around. If you pull it out, you will be stuck to far from the bar.

I wouldn't say I'm a skinny person. I don't know that that has much to do with moving your legs from Point A to Point B?

A pain in the butt perfectly describes the barstools at Sanaa

Sure that works - if you're a tiny little wisp of a thing. I'm not. I have zero interest in sitting in the person's lap in the chair next to mine.

I'm just not sure what headline they were looking for with this project, this?

Here are some SPECIFIC thing they could do:

Bathroom Features and Music
I haven't heard any reports about what's going on in the bathrooms, but it better be something worth talking about when you get back to the table (a no-brainer for bar design). How about have the original Epcot pavilion music from Horizons and Universe of Energy etc. Wouldn't that put a smile on your face and give you something to report when you get back to the table?

As hard as I try, I cannot read this without imagining a huge fart.

It's been a long day.

I'm not talking about the backs. I'm talking about the act of actually sitting on them. You have to pull it out, away from the bar, hop up into it (for us shorter people) and then, oops! You're two feet away from the bar because you had to pull the damn chair out to actually sit in it.

Bougie breweries are all going to this type of chair and it's incredibly annoying.

You could hire the service of a "Barstool Concierge" or "Barstool Valet". Now does the concierge pull out the chair then the valet pushes you back up to the bar?

Double upsell!!!

Where's Josh??? I have an idea

I am far from a tiny wisp. Maybe I'm not explaining well? How would you end up in someone else's lap?

 

[James Alucobond]

So, yes, the ones they just planted.

A pretty needless distinction since every tree in the hub was essentially just planted.

They are available and the don't have to look like something from Ikea.

You explained it well, that's what I do.

Besides, "sitting on people's laps" sounds like something that happens in other type of adult-only venues, lol!

Let me be very clear - if you have a butt or chest (really, you censor the other b word? ) , there is no way to get in between the chairs without rubbing your business all over the person in the next chair. That is why you pull them out.

Oh ok. That makes much more sense when explained that way. Maybe grab a table instead.

I smell an upcharge seating section…Josh? Josh??

Maybe he’ll think about that during his daily affordability thoughts?

 

[WDWTrojan]

The furniture is exceptionally Delta SkyClub-y to me.

When it comes to Epcot, they either get criticised for leaning too much into nostalgia with their designs or get criticised for not leaning into it enough. In this thread, they have even been criticised for both in the design of the new bar.

That’s an up-charge.

I do not get the appeal of paying for a park ticket, just to then pay for over priced alcohol in a bar. If this existed outside the park (like at the Boardwalk) then fine that makes sense, but I have no interest in paying super high prices for a coctail at 2pm on a park day.

There are plenty that have the opposite opinion than yours. The ROI on booze wins again. (I agree with you btw )

Josh thought about that one day during his daily affordability thoughts. along with the profit margins. And thus, that's how he determined cocktail pricing was affordable to most guests.
