Its how Tomorrowland is being rethemed to "Logans Run" and everyone over 30 will be hunted down and sent to the Carousel (in Fantasyland of course) to become part of the nightly Wishes! show.

I don't trust the rumor due it being Jim Hill, but I wouldn't be shocked if there is truth to it since MK is getting around 300 to 350 million dollars like Epcot is. The money I am referring to is part of the budget the Board of Directors approved back in July that a majority of the money goes to DHS. I believe Tomorrowland Terrace isn't open all year round and that is something that MK can't have. This is a type of an additional I can see money being spent by Disney.
I would love to see this happen. MK is in dire need of food locations, and I'm glad to see that things have been turning around recently. This idea certainly sounds cool too. I would just hope that they somehow leave a pathway between Tomorrowland and Main Street there.

Ive never tried it, but just those photos look gross. The photos alone have kept me away

The Astronomer's Club was actually planned to be part of a early version of the Tomorrowland remodel, when it was going to be more like Discoveryland from Disneyland Paris.
It's a rumor, it's the nature of the beast. He was also first with the following info:
- Seven Dwarfs Mine Train
- Art of Animation
- C3PO as Captain in Star Tours 2.0
- Third Theater for Soarin'
You made the right choice. You have missed nothing.

Hmm... I don't know about that particular aesthetic, though. It looks like it belongs at DisneySea maybe, but would not be terribly plausible in either MK's kitschy Tomorrowland or its flower-and-frosting Main Street USA.

It states 'Future Project', and this is the future relative to 1990, so I think we're good to go.

I understand why people would be skeptical of Jim, but he's been pretty correct with the past 2 years of news. And rumors can have validity to them. They just might not come to fruition.

I would love to see this come to fruition. TL could use a quality table service and it's such an underused location.
It certainly seems plausible given the trends at MK to open previously shuttered/seasonal location. Seems they now have been recognizing the need for more food service in the park.

If we go by Neil DeGrasse-Tyson's guest spot on Gravity Falls, VERY entertaining.

I'm surprised they didn't bring it to the lodge - like trader Sam's at the Poly. I was kind of hopeful they would!
Totally hope the TT rumour comes true though... such a waste of space... and quite depressing!

I don't think Planet Hollywood will be going that far down the Planetarium theme. I'm sure I read that most of the memorabilia will stay and the theme is that you are seeing "stars" as in celebrities. So although the exterior will be Planetarium and some interior aspects will reflect it, overall it will still be Planet Hollywood.

The thing that I really wonder, though, is if Disney thinks this area is a problem? The dessert packages have obviously been selling well, given the recent price increase. They might just see it as a place that makes them a boatload of money that only has to be staffed three hours per night. If anything, I could see them remodeling the kitchen here to make the desserts on-site instead of trucking them in like they currently do.
I also don't understand how they would build a themed restaurant with a big walkway through the middle of it... would this be the end of the shortcut?
My idea for a cool Tomorrowland restaurant would be basically the above, except in the design aesthetic of our Tomorrowland instead of Discoveryland. I don't even think you need live entertainment; just make it a beautiful space with an "invisible oxygen dome" ceiling for HD projections of space objects. A large projection surface, so that it sort of gave you the feeling of eating "outside" in space would be awesome.

Bring back the 90's Plaza Pavilion! We had sort of a rivalry with them, since we had the same costumes Cosmic's CM's didn't want to be mistaken for PP cast members and vice versa. However I had more friends there!

They could have a dining room on a second floor over top of the current walkway...or route the walkway around the outdoor perimeter where the current terrace is....
