It's nice they are trying expand The Muppets in the parks....But, couldn't they have used Sam from America Sings instead.....

I can’t complain because I love the muppets and Sam Eagle...but I wonder when they’re going to announce the Wall-E as the mascot to the new space restaurant?

I have to admit, I would crack up if the windows at Space 220 had this...

Cute. And not ostentatious IP integration.

Wonder what bbq eagle tastes like.

It tastes like freedom and they should play free bird when you get your order

Wonder what bbq eagle tastes like.

It tastes like...
a misdemeanor with maximum penalty of one year in prison and $100,000 fine for an individual ($200,000 for an organization). The second offense becomes a felony with maximum penalty of 2 years in prison and $250,000 fine for individual ($500,000 for an “organization” such as a business).

Talk about a mouthful!

Three's Company was an ABC show so don't give up hope.

Not part of a franchise, from a now closed attraction and an original park character.

Three strikes, he's out.

 

[Animaniac93-98]

Why not? The Muppets are most certainly part of American culture.

So are Steve Urkle, E.T. and Honey Boo Boo.

Maybe they could have based it on Knight Rider? K.I.T.T. could read the menu to visually impaired guests.

Sam Eagle's character is that he's overbearingly patriotic and a cultural snob. If it weren't for the fact that a lightly themed counter-service isn't going to delve too deeply into that, putting Sam into Epcot seems like an obvious opportunity for Muppety self-deprecation.

Certainly Sam Eagle is more overtly patriotic (though played for laughs, not so much the right tone for WS), I'm just poking fun at the idea of any character from American culture being OK for the pavilion.

I wish they would have left the restaurant without a character. When is it enough?

Saw this on Twitter. Honestly, I thought it was a joke.

When EVERYTHING has an IP attached to it including every section of all the parking lots.

There is no way I will be able to call this the Regal Eagle. No matter how hard I try, I will end up saying Regal Beagle. I think I am also one of the few that finds it very funny.

It certainly didn't have any character before!

1876 is interesting, but Regal still sounds like a British restaurant...

Sorry, that's ILL-eagle.
