News Space 220 Restaurant dining experience at Epcot's Future World

Or they could just stick to the whole year round theme park idea instead of a seasonal bar crazy right?

Thinking Festival of the Arts, Flower and Garden, Food and Wine are just about drinking is just ignorance, but thanks for the reply.

I am so freaking excited about this restaurant!

I dont know where to eat next time I'm at EPCOT, there's so many choices already, and then this nifty new spot will open.

Madness!

No, Sparta.

So glad (and was hoping) this is where this is likely to be located, instead of right up next to the promenade.
Allows for the building of atmosphere and story on the way back, if they so choose.
Hopefully, they do.

If this doesn't have any references to Brava Centauri, I will be ticked!

What they are on paper and what actually occurs are two different things. Take FWF for example it has been around for a long time now and it wasn't always a drink fest and on paper the event idea hasn't changed (just scope) but it has turned into a drinking fest. That's a fact. Drunk Disney shirts abound. The epcot after 4 AP only makes things worse giving otherwise non Disney fans a cheap way to go to epcot and drink there night away.

I don't mind the festivals. They get a bad rap. I don't like how they've propped the park up for over a decade or so. I personally loved Festival of the Arts.

But they don't *need* Wonders of Life for a festival pavilion. They could move what's in there to other areas they've let sit and rot.

There are plenty of people that go, enjoy themselves, and appreciate the culture and concept behind the FWF. Don't let millennials (like myself) ruin your time. The selections on the menu this year look fantastic and the event is one of the few that maintains Walt's concept of Epcot.

Have to wonder if (at least partially) the reason they are building this is a slight beta-test for the Star Wars Hotel. I mean, there are multiple aspects that may be similar between the two... both will have display screens instead of windows to make you feel like you're in space, both may have (slightly?) more exotic/"spacey" food options, both will (should?) have some sort of pre-show/entry way to make it feel like you're being transported from real-life Orlando, FL to outer space...

I'm not sure how cheaply someone drinks in Epcot but the people who are drinking their night away at F&W are in the minority. These 3 events are a huge part of Epcot and will thankfully continue to grow.

Epcot's a lot of things, but it's not a cheap place to get a drink.

nah but its just like any tourist place. i see lots of people my age (college looking types) drinking hard during events. on top of that the paths get full. god forbid there was an emergency. park capacity is based on the entire park but if everyone is in world showcase?

Oh yeah, there's plenty of people buying too many drinks alright. Just saying those drinks ain't cheap. There's A LOT cheaper ways to get your drink on than Epcot.

for sure and to be clear i drink at Epcot....almost every time i go however that means maybe two beers or a unique drink (like the tipsy duck) it has clearly gotten worse to some degree in the past few years.

I am intrigued. What is this "tipsy duck" you speak of?

 

[Smiley/OCD]

Don't forget the tall, cold glass of recycled urine water.

And the Tang & freeze dried ice cream...

 

[Astro Blaster]

Does anyone else feel like this was the most "Epcot" of all the Epcot D23 announcements?

 

[Magicart87]

And the Tang & freeze dried ice cream...

Fun Fact: Freeze Dried Ice Cream was never launched into orbit or consumed by astronauts.

While I certainly can't speak for others, a cheap buzz is not my goal when I visit Epcot. My aim is to experience food and beverages not readily available in rural Ohio.
