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

[CaptainAmerica]

But you get just one princess to walk by and twirl. Plus no sword or wand for kids. Current offering is probably the biggest ripoff on property.

Allow me to introduce you to my friend, "Riviera Tower Studio."

I'm going to need a disclaimer that lets me know I'm not actually going into space.

thanks.

No swimming pool?

It looks good. I'm a fan of themed restaurants like Sci-Fi Dine In that offer a unique "only at Disney" experience and this fits the bill.

Only possible issue is that window seats will have far more appeal than others.

Video inside -

OK anyone else getting a Star Trek vibe off this, kinda looks like an enlarged 10 Forward lounge from next gen.

I've been waiting for this restaurant since they announced it. It looks amazing, but I've never been a prix fixe menu guy. I wonder if they are doing that for a specific reason or just to start out and will eventually have a non prix fixe menu?

The prix fixe will be to stop people coming in just for drinks or dessert only to look at the decor.

 

[fgmnt]

So they haven’t slowed things down on purpose? All signs point towards that

Oh, sure they have. I don't really subscribe to the notion that things were delayed primarily because of the 50th. That's obviously a reason, but it's probably the second or third reason in most cases.

I just hope we don't run into the usual issue where people choose the restaurant for the environment and then complain about the menu resulting in the homogenized mess we get everywhere.

On the window seats yes and no. If different things are happening out each window you won't be able to see everything but what's going on right outside your window, and the effects may or may not look better from afar.

 

[TikibirdLand]

I think that is slightly above other prix fixe menus...could be wrong though.

I'm betting a bit higher than that. After all, you've got to pay for all that fuel to reach the restaurant...

 

[UNCgolf]

I assume those screens are just in a test mode and not showing what it will look like when you're actually eating there?

They slow everything down now…if we’re honest

it just seems pretty obvious that when their bookings were wrecked for 2021…they punted on these things to milk later.

Not to defend disney, cause there is no defense, but it is an 18month party, why not have new things open throughout the event?

Getting Rat, Space 220(sept.ish) updated Jungle cruise and more.
Then in Spring of 2022 - get Tron, and maybe GotG. Later in 2022 you get finalized Play pavilion and maybe core for EPCOT completed.

Just sayin...

Actually, with the window seats being close to the screens, they might not be the best ones. Seats farther away should have a more expansive and possibly immersive view.

I don’t think they are showing us the full effect until it opens. Possibly the lighting will be like it was in the concept art, the dining room lighting looks toned down. I expected it to be a brighter blue, kind like electric lighting. Also I’m getting zenon vibes, if you know you know.

 

[3BratsToDisney]

Sighs. We had been so looking forward to this place but seeing it's going to be another prixe fix menu deal I have doubts now we will be able to give it a try. Guess I'll wait and see when they post the menu and prices but this does not bode well for our party.

I wonder if the lighting and windows will be all part of intermittent shows. Along the lines of rainforest.

The 50th is an 18-month marketing campaign. If Tron isn't open by March 2023, we would have to have experienced some kind of international calamity closer to a world war than covid. Now, Guardians open by then ??? I almost need to be convinced.

I mean for the start of the 50th. It was meant to be done in time for that. I have very little doubt that it will be done before Fall 2022.
