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

[CanadianEmily]

Beaches and Cream opened up their reservations September 19th for their end of December re-opening. Even though this isn't a re-opening, I'm surprised they are waiting until this close to opening.

That probably either means they won't be open in February or they have no idea when they'll be open. Ugh. Our Epcot day is February 27... fingers crossed!

I'm curious what time they typically open reservations for brand new restaurants. I got the text notification I had signed up for (for Beaches and Cream) at 9:25 at night.

I don't think you can compare this to Beaches & Cream at all.

Didn't someone say just a few pages back that the new signature restaurant in Japan (Epcot) didn't even offer ADR's until AFTER it was already open? If so, I don't think we can take anything from the lack of dining reservations.

Oh man, this is agonizing.... we have a trip planned Feb. 15-22, and a big reason was because we figured Space 220 would be open by then. We have Epcot as our first two days, but what do you all think - should we reconfigure to move these park days to the end?

We will be there during this time as well. I was so excited about this restaurant and then I saw the delays and then all the construction going on and now test track will be down during our visit - sadly, I think we are skipping epcot all together this go round.

I sure wish they'd post a menu. Of course, a launch date (pun!), but even just a menu would be nice.

I totally agree. I’m going o be mad if I wait all this time and then I fight for an ADR and then the menu sucks and we don’t end up going.This happened with Artist point. I got so excited and grabbed an ADR the day they opened them and got super excited for it. Then my family took one look at the menu and said yuck, no way.

it was mentioned by a couple people that the recent openings (Skipper Canteen was another one) didn’t have ADRs at all before they opened.

They are hiring runners, bussers, hosts, dishwashers, cooks, etc. now. So it must be close?

I will gladly wash my own dishes if it will be open for my trip in February

In experience wait staff is usually hired 1 to 2 months before a restaurant opens so they can train. When was the actual jobs posted? Usually a company takes about a month to hire people. They get the applications in, do the interviews, call people to start. I dunno if Disney has to do backgrounds on employees... that can take a bit. If I had to take a guess I think it will prob open March or April. but just a guess...

I listened to Len Testa and Jim Hill today on their podcast that was released last week. They definitely thought Space would open in March...

Here in NJ we're still waiting for winter to begin. What a crazy weather pattern we're having - maybe we'll finally see some snow this weekend.

 

[katemusical]

Any new updates? I really want to go eat there in May.

 

[ErinsMommy]

Any new updates?

Nope.
