News Regal Eagle Smokehouse: Craft Drafts & Barbecue replacing Liberty Inn

[Josh Hendy]

I suppose they're trying to hit the right note between classy Epcot and down-home BBQ picnic style. But FL is hot and sun exposure is a serious issue. They can't install fans and blow napkins all over so I would hope they either make the umbrellas work really well (large, adjustable) or design some kind of awnings that are architecturally... harmonioUSA (sorry)

Regal Eagle added to the map along with a redesign of the American Adventure building.

They also flipped the Golden Dream ship for some reason. Here's the old version for reference:

Maybe they flipped it because that is the way it is actually docked; port side of the ship to the dock.

Out of all the offensive IP intrusions, this seems like the more boring and benign of them...I cant really get fired up over Sam Eagle in a BBQ restaurant. If anything, it actually fits the character, the inside joke is fine and its better than the old fast food place. Its not like they took down American Adventure to put in a Muppet sing a long.

Maybe they hope the eagle will keep the other birds away? I wish they had something to repel the birds from the outside dining areas; at Flame Tree if you turn your back on your plate for longer than 5 seconds it may be gone.

I assume that's the case. There were a few other small changes in the new map that increased the...accuracy. I wonder how long the ship has been docked port side to dock, because the map has shown it the other way for years.

Yeah, at this point, I’ve given up on getting bent out of shape over IP incursions in Epcot. Reminds me of a quote from Babylon 5:

The avalanche has already started, it is too late for the pebbles to vote.

So, Kenny doesn't mention his source and there is no official source or any other blog picking up on a Feb 17 opening for Regal. Not saying it won't happen. Just won't be surprised if it doesn't.

Also, a previous article by Kenny has his site figuring out it will open Feb 9.

I just looked around the webs, and couldn't find any confirmation about this yet. Guess we'll find out on Monday.

The Regal Eagle page is now showing that dining plans are accepted.

 

[YodaMan]

Well, it’s Monday. Is it open?

Not as right now. But umbrellas have been installed.

It's opening Feb 9!

It's opening Feb 15!

And this is why Kenny almost never gets linked here. It's been a really long time since he had a scoop on anything. Any advance knowledge his group has is the stuff that Disney sends to all Travel Agents, which means it is quickly common knowledge in the blogosphere.

I keep saying it, but Regal, Space and Taste Track are not on a blogger schedule and are going to open when they are done. People keep throwing out dates that just aren’t accurate. It is getting rather ridiculous, and I hope people are starting to realize they are being click baited in many cases.

I tracked down why the bloggers were using Feb 17 for Regal and Taste... the new park map.

They are literally destroying the core of Epcot yards away, but these social media morons are loosing their collective minds and only care about a generic BBQ QS with beer and greasy tasteless burgers sold from a kiosk.

Buts it’s more Disney because they put a Muppet on the sign! Don’t you see how much they love Epcot and it’s history?

And the Imagineer was wearing a retro Epcot t-shirt when he did the Disney Park blog walkthrough so it's awesome and he gets it!!!

Does it not take several hours to heat up the smoker to the right temperature and several more hours to cook the meat? To me that the fist sign of immediate opening.
