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

[danlb_2000]

So what's your suggestion exactly? That Disney open uninteresting restaurants that nobody cares about just so it's easier to get a reservation?

Yeah, the solution to the problem of not being able to get an ADRs at a restaurant like Be Our Guest, is to build more restaurants that would have a similar draw so it spreads out the demand.

After a visit to Kennedy Space Center earlier this year and lots of searching, I was very surprised that no where in the Space Coast or nearby Orlando area had a space themed restaurant, and the closest you could get to a space themed resort was an old cheesy looking space shuttle bed at a low cost hotel. With SPACE X ramping up launches on the way to Mars and NASA getting ready to launch their new vehicle, it is awesome that Disney is solving the issue with what was lacking in the area with the Star Wars resort AND the Space Restaurant, plus an awesome update to a fun astronaut mission experience! Thank you Disney!!!

This sounds great!

It totally should be named Dining: SPACE.

My concern. Gotg and a hulked up MS makes me think that there is a transformation to a larger space based area. TT already has overplayed with more modern/futuristic. So where does this leave SSE? I have a weird feeling that we are going to see SSE change from a history of communication to a non specific IP based thrill ride of some form or fashion.

I don't think they can convert everything to space. They just added a 3rd theater to Soarin so that's not going anywhere and the aquarium will likely stay too. I think SSE is safe for now. I really just think they through in that stuff about space to explain how GoTG fits in EPCOT.

I think people would lose their minds if this was named Brava Centauri.

@marni1971 does that mean Animal Kingdom won't be receiving anything new (aside from Pandora) before the 50th?

Not necessarily.

So where exactly is this going?

Looks like it is going here.

 

[WDWbuff2001]

Could it be going in the wonders of life pavilion? It's round like the concept art.. I think that's where it's going

This is a perfect consolation prize for the purists losing Energy to GOTG.

I would have used very different words.

 

[Kamikaze]

Looks amazing, though would look better with a 'seamless' window like what China Circlevision is getting

'Seamless' wouldn't make sense in the vacuum of space. A huge single window would have to be ridiculously thick.

I have always wanted to eat in a planetarium. My dreams have come true today. I think I may be dead.

Lots of planetariums offer 'dine under the stars' packages already.

There's that but if they were really going for realism then they'd have to incorporate zero gravity in the restaurant too. Now that would be something worth visiting for.

The view is gonna be so freaking amazing!!

Wow I need to find one!!!

That would be one huge restaurant. All indications are it will be on the other side of Space.

 

[Captain Barbossa]

Can't wait to see a menu. Wonder when we'll get one?

 

[LieutLaww]

Well they will need to build it first so i guess a few years yet
