SPACE RESTAURANT WATCH THREAD—Entrance photos post #1609!!

[HockeyBasedNYC]

It's crazy how Disney always drops something when you aren't looking. You can refresh a page 300 times in a week, crickets - get busy with other stuff and then find out they released a new FP or ADR yesterday or a half a day ago without you knowing. Happened to me today with MMRR.

I flipped out when I saw it up and then saw it was completely GONE. What?!!

Moved some things around and was happy to snag one with reduced riders though - thanks to this board!!!

This thread becomes more like the old Rumors (Rivers) of Light watch thread every day.

Yes, that was worth quite a few new grey hairs....and in the end I'm not sure it was worth the agony we all endured! But we sure had fun together!

We need to track down the cheerful but misinformed phone CM (was it Maggie?). I’m sure she could tell us some tall tales about Space 220’s opening.

You can try Maggie, but she might be busy trying to find out when Pandora is opening

But still no official word from Disney on the actual date. This is still a “well placed source?” Let’s see if the name of the restaurant changed from Winter to Spring

This is either going to be a complete hot mess or the best restaurant ever.

Of course its going to be 2023 before it opens at this point so we will have a while to place our bets

I am thinking they have been super clear to say the name has nothing to do with the year 2020 as at this rate it might not open until 2021

 

[tuckymom]

^^Yes I'm aware that they say it isn't after the year it opens. My point was the date keeps getting pushed back to the point it feels like it is going to be years before it actually opens.

"Last month, we reported that Space 220, the space-themed restaurant coming to Future World in Epcot, was set to open on March 30, but we have since been advised that the opening has been bumped to April 6, 2020.
The delay, according to our well-placed sources, is due to a large pane of glass getting broken during construction and needing to be specially ordered (taking 8 weeks). Once the new glass arrives, the roof may need to be removed to install it.
The restaurant’s menu is still in the testing phase and it is unknown at this time when it will be released or when Advance Dining Reservations will open for this much-anticipated location."

I read that the name comes from the fact that the restaurant is supposed to be on a space station 220 miles above the earth.

Anyone else now kind of freaked out we'll be eating dinner and a giant sheet of glass will shatter on us? Not getting super confident about the construction of this place.

No. LOL

Frankly, no. I’m more afraid I’ll plummet to my death on the Skyliner. We all have our own fears though!

 

[WildernessMickey]

I'm worried they will have to take the roof off (!!!) again to replace a piece of glass.

 

[SaintsManiac]

I would be more afraid of my murphy bed falling down at Riviera...

No, I'm worried that when I ride the space elevator, I'll get hit by a satellite or leftover space junk.
