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

[tinkerhon]

Maybe once they get the date pinned down, they will announce that they are going to use boarding groups in lieu of ADRS - just arrive with a totally empty stomach, because you will have no idea when your group might be called !

I was eagerly looking forward to Space 220, but then they started having the issues, and the delays, and they are Patina, not Disney, and I fell back into a "wait-and-see" for the reviews to come in. This latest issue though - they broke a piece of glass so big that it needs to be custom-made, and they may need to take the roof off to get it in?!? Pardon the saying, but why on earth do they need that big of a piece of glass?

Guys, I think I'm back in!

It's all fun and games until you get hit in the eye with a scampi....your blaster will do no harm.

But I feel the force is strong with this one...

I’m there the last week of April. Fingers crossed that they get their act together

OMG This is my thought exactly! I was watching a Facebook video someone posted of the Skyliner traveling over water and thought what in the world? If that gondola were to plummet to the water, the people would drown. You can't open those doors from the inside I imagine and water would rush in through the vent.

Never thought about this! Now I have some new fears to deal with

I originally was in this watching for our Feb 27, 2020 Epcot day. But, now I'm already doing prelim planning for June 2021, for about 12 days. So, I guess I get to enjoy our times in this quickly spiraling thread for another 16 months!
To infinity.....and beyond!

I’m afraid “opening in winter” may actually be accurate

some day I’ll be looking for a place to eat in Epcot and it will show up on the list. Getting tired of stalking

I'm sure it turns into a raft as soon as it hits the water

Half of the restaurant is looking out into space, so I imagine the floor to ceiling "windows" are very big sections of glass.

 

[tinkerhon]

No wonder this is going to take 8 weeks ! They put Maggie on it ! At least we know the glass is in good hands !

Pretty sure its just Astronaut Ice Cream and other freeze-dried foods because that's all there is to eat in space.
Its that realistic experience they are going for like in star wars land.

Yes !'

In the event of a water landing, your refillable resort mug can be used as a flotation device.
