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

People will pay it. Especially out-of-state visitors with kids who want the experience.

And the vloggers will promote the heck out of it, since it's a new Epcot restaurant.

Sadly, this will become the norm going forward.

100% true...

Is the lounge in the same main room? I thought it was but now can't fins a picture of it.

 

[P'colaBeachBum]

Wondering if the lounge will not open until 4pm.
DH has given a go for lunch so we will launch for lunch on Nov. 1….hopefully.

Rats, I was kinda looking forward to this, but not at this price point. I will wait for some reviews. If the experience is great, we will do it once at lunch, but much better food can be had in Epcot for half the price. This really contrasts that Spice Road Table dining fireworks viewing package with alcohol included for adults. I normally NEVER consider the fireworks viewing packages as I think they are way too pricey, but for some great exotic eats, reserved fireworks seating, and an affordable kids option (not to mention wine and Sangria to drink) I think we will be spending our Epcot dining dollars in World Showcase.

I know everyone was joking about Tang and astronaut ice cream, but did anyone else notice this cocktail?

Just looked at the menu, I was expecting more “space themed” food? Not sure what that is exactly, lol, but I was expecting it and this isn’t it. We won’t be eating there as many of my kids won’t find anything they like there. And for that amount of money for 7 people they better like it! I’m disappointed

I was thinking more "International" since you are in space looking back at the planet, food from different parts of the globe would be cool.

OK, can someone explain to me please how the walkup VQ might work for this? And feel free to use small words..... <smile>

So went to look at the menu on their site and got a 500 error (Internal Server Error) - typical Disney IT

Sure they dont have to pay for it - will probably be at a special media event on the 19th with free everything

So 6am EST on Monday? Good luck!

Did you find out whether it’s 6 am ET? I read somewhere that it was 5:45am.

 

[ColoradoMom12]

It’s walk-up only while I’m there next week. How early do you think I can get my name on the list? Should I go directly there when the park opens? Or is there a certain time when they start taking reservations? I’m thinking lunch but dinner would work too.

That was what they said it would be back when they had the first chef.

Cant wait to start booking.. When does it open for booking?

 

[Rick195275]

Dining seems to open for some people at 5:45 but I had no success booking before 6 at my 60 day mark. I don’t believe they have announced a time but I’ll start checking at midnight lol

For 2 years I was looking forward to this restaurant. But these prices on these menus and it’s not even a character meal? That’s a big nope for us.

I feel the same way. The price point for a family dinner is ridiculous.

Sans any beverage, you are looking at $100/adult (tax/tip included). $100 AN adult - then look at the pics of the food on the website and ask yourself what you'd pay for it anywhere and then what you'll pay for it in Disney in a packed, sweaty room of people in shorts and tanks gazing on a 1970s space themed conference banquet room set up with a cool elevator...

Are non-alcoholic beverages included by chance??

Ha! I'm such a rookie....I forgot to add drinks to the $$ amount it would cost for my family of 4. I told my DH about the menu and price, and he said they have to pay for that giant tv screen lol.

Usually are, just alcohol and specialty drinks extra.
