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

I'm sure it's been asked and answered already but I didn't see it mentioned so I'll ask: (again?)
Is there any physical/practical effect enhancements to the arrival/departure scene? A vibrating floor, a shifting handrail, Hot/Cold? Anything?

Yes vibrating floor.

I was wondering about this as well.

Reminds me of back in the day where fastpass was first come first serve and when the parks opened a number of guests ran to the several FB locations to get the coveted FBs. How times have changed.

This video probably brings tears to Chapek's eyes as he mutters "Dreams really do come true."

I've been throwing some shade at Disney for their recent attractions, but from the video and photos, this looks good - like some old school imagineering with true immersion.

His name happens to be Bob too.

Maybe Chapek is using that fatter than fat paycheck on cloning endeavors..........

What does Bob 2 do?

 

[WondersOfLife]

Imagine.... A no disney character fully immersive experience is now considered “old school.” Yikes.

What does Bob 2 do?

Bob Wilson - he is with Delaware North.

I might be willing to split the difference for the lounge. Not so sure about an advance ADR.

This looks really great. Probably the best restaurant preshow I’ve seen. Maybe the only one I’ve seen. My only tiny complaint is that, in the elevator video, they didn’t have to be so transparent about the actual aerial view of the park, including showing that dang Guardians building. But nonetheless, this is truly something stellar that feels right at home at Epcot.

I hate to say it but I still see Star Trek TNG Enterprises Ten Forward lounge LOL. I think I might go up for a drink but I dont see it being all that. Maybe its just the fact that its new. The menu wasnt that exciting to me. I enjoy experience dining and done several of them, but maybe in person it looks better.

I think it's actually kind of interesting how much of backstage they're willing to show. I don't have a problem with it, but it would be cool to see some sort of imaginary idealized version of backstage.

I know it's not as mind-blowing as beige paint or fonts on a trashcan or whatever it is that really inspires the EPCOT fans, but I'm excited.

Looks cool.
Looking forward to honest reviews of the food ( paid off 'vloggers / bloggers' don't count ).

Tried for a reservations earlier today after the chaos passed this morning online but nothing coming up during my dates.
Will look again however next week.

Bonus consolation prize was scoring a unexpected reservation for San Angel Inn.
Totally unexpected.
In the 30+ years I have been going to Epcot, not once have I been able to dine here.
Mostly because of the limited menu choices for moi, and then in later years difficulty in getting a reservation.
So no disapointment here.

Space 220 looks to be a nice addition.
Will get to check it out eventually.

Wonder if they would look into an upgrade later that would show close to real time cloud coverage. i.e hurricanes off the coast type deal.

I wonder if this is like what going to the starcruiser will be.

This looks fun, definitely on my list of things to do whenever we get back down there.

Not at all classy but I'd be amused by some sort of man vs food challenge, like the Mission Space Orange challenge where if you eat your entire meal and don't barf on Mission Space Orange you get a free meal or a free express pass for a ride lol
