Every menu item should have SPACE in the name... like instead of Meatballs they'd be Spaceballs.

This was a pictures of the spaceballs movie poster.

flavored food paste would be appropriate. i could see some disgruntled CM substituting a charcoal toothpaste for a chocolate mousse Space dessert flavor tube though.

I am still wondering if 220 is just a code name.

The way some of these projects turn out I think 420 would be a more accurate codename.

It doesn't appear to going any faster then any other Disney project. We are 8 months into construction and still a long way to go.

On the WDW/TDI scale, this is pretty fast.

They're usually not panicking in the case of other builds. But the idea of seeing Epcot at the bottom of the WDW 2019 TEA/AECOM attendance report is putting the fear of Bob in them.

Indeed. Everything at EC is in high gear; S220, GotG, Rat... They're in full swing out front now. Gotta get ready for the 50th too. Hey, works for me!

They are nearly enclosed. This went up pretty quick.

Question: Is the same company that is building the show-scenes within the GotG ride build the space projection screen for this restaurant?

Sounds like a similar scaled screen to the new Lightning McQueen attraction at Hollywood Studios.
