Why don't they just open it as a restaurant? People are complaining, especially the locals that there aren't any sitdown restaurants that you can get into on short term notice or walk into anymore because of the Dining Plan...why not create a decent themed sitdown restaurant here to take some of the heat off of the others?

The building that sits on stilts between TT and Mexico. It was a restaurant from opening day and then just closed up sometime in the mid 90s. It was mainly just quick service stuff like burgers.

It also holds lots of events during the Food and Wine festival, and can be booked as space for leisure groups and business meetings.

Oh...I just found a picture of that building in my pictures from my first trip in '87. I wondered what it was. I remembered it still being there when we went last Feb, but didn't know what its purpose was.

Actually, you'd be suprised how much these spaces ARE used. There were 18 events in that building in December alone. Quite a bit going on there, and because of it's set up and location, it's quite popular with leisure groups and business meetings.
There are some really cool food programs there during the F&W fest

Thanks Merf -- Really cool news.

I can see both sides. On one side, it is good to have a nice space available for special events. On the other side, why not add another restaurant since the Dining Plan is causing people to book up the restaurants really quickly. The Odyssey is kinda out of the way though, but that's nothing the famous Construction Wall can't take care of!

Last time I was in Odyssey was in January 2006 when I was on my last lunch break as a cp.

Thanks for the info Merf. That is great to see it being used even more.
Now if we could only see the Millenium bldg be used more often.

Oh I know it is used for those types of things, but for a location like that, it should be used for a heck of a lot more than private groups and minor exhibit areas during F&W.

No offense, but I'd be more curious as to the number of events using that space in months NOT-December. It could still be used a lot, but it seems to me that December would be a prime month for a hall like Odyssey, with companies or other organizations setting up large holiday gatherings/parties for employees/members. How often was it used in November or January?

It is in too prime of a position in the park for it not to be used more than it is.
