EPCOT New GEO-82 Spaceship Earth Lounge Coming to EPCOT

[Sirwalterraleigh]

I like the idea of the reserved table for fireworks viewing (vs people just camping out for them) ...BUT $179 seems crazy

Can do the full prefixe at California Grill ($89) plus wine pairing ($72) for less than that

Problem is California grill has pretty much sucked since they went that route

They get it in bulk from Trader Joe’s

That’s Bob’s keen business instincts

$6.99/bottle retail. Bob's keen negotiating tactics got them a steal at $7.49/bottle.

Prosecco/brut all night long. There's not a snowball's chance in hell they are serving actual champagne here.

I'm not sure who thought "fireworks viewing package" was appropriate from this location.

1. Prosecco is basically Italian "champagne". I'm sure the Italians on the other side of WS would beg to disagree with you.
2. Elevation. It's already a downhill slope in the area between the two WS shops. It's a further downhill slope from the lounge to that area. So views won't be obstructed.

1. Champagne is made from grapes grown in the Champagne region of France. Anything else is fizzly grape juice and 1000% inferior.
2. Pictures have already been posted of what Luminous looks like from Dreamer's Point. It's obstructed.

Guys I figured it out.

The $179 figure was based on when the wholesale price of eggs were much higher.

Or

The eggs are locally sources eggs from the AA chickens on Living With The Land.

The GEO-82 Fireworks Package is priced at $179 per person, plus tax and gratuity:

They are out of their ever-loving minds. (I'm sure all the Disney Adults will be breathlessly rushing to be the first to book this obscene money-grab.)

So it has nothing to do with empty hotel rooms and the Mickey heads spinning for less and less people each day?

…you took the word of a nametag?

Tsk tsk

Anyway…they heard it from Wayne’s world

I know I was completely dumbfounded and shocked when Disney decided to make their parks inaccessible for the commoner and only appeal to those who have all their meals with edible gold garnish on them, that their business would suffer.

Well, he was from France. And asked that if we ever saw a bottle labeled "California Champagne" to politely pour it down the drain.

1. I know what champagne is. I was making the point that Prosecco is the Italian version. Of course you have a right to your opinion.
2. The lounge is above Dreamer's Point. Not the same level.

lol…those kidders

“France” is code for “Wichita state college program alumnus”

You'll be able to see the fireworks for sure, but it will be a suboptimal as you're going to miss a large portion of the actual. show based on the distance and obstructions. Many, including myself are wondering is the experience worth the $180 per person based on what has been offered.

Prosecco is not champagne. I serve it plenty in my side gig. It's low-rate garbage. You can call it "Italian champagne" all you want, it doesn't make it true.

2.

this is the view from Dreamers Point.

You really think 12 feet of elevation is going to make that view clear? I have some real estate in south Florida I've love to sell you.

I'll take a double whiskey, no ice...
