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

[Scarter-of-Mars]

Just in the interest of clarity, it is not quite $100 for the silverware 1 person will use.

According to DFB: "Service for four ... costs $328.54 while service for 6 is $480.18"

This means that each diner's set of flatware cost about $80-$82. Still a lot, though. Plus, it's likely that the restaurant will get some sort of wholesale discount off of the rack rate.

Sounds awesome! A real special experience. I will be totally shocked if this is on the dining plan at one credit. Two maybe. And maybe not at all.

True to my user name, I'm most excited about the 1,000+ wine list!

A poster on a DFB YouTube video said a castmember told him 31st of March...

I'm one of those mean people that are hoping it's not at the start in hopes to make it easier to ADR. (Yes I know I already said I was mean)

I am okay with this.

So we keep chit chatting and bumping this thread but folks felt the need to report/complain about my 'only post new info' thread and get it shut down so as to keep THIS thread for new updates because, only because, the title has 'watch' in it. Now we are back to wading through gobs and gobs of chit chat in hopes to find the new info. Ahhh...hard to find that new info here but I guess this is what it will be.

Yup
the only reason a new thread was started was because of the games started within. At least that’s what I was told

once it is officia, the mods will add a. Sticky w the official release info.

lol. Forget Space 220!

I just hope we will actually be able to go to Disneyworld in April.

Geeze

Me too!!!

 

[DWillowBay]

I noticed this morning that Space 220 now says "Coming Soon" and not "Coming this Winter". Is that progress??? ….Now it's coming...whenever!

Regarding the flatwear - people are acting like you get to take it home as a gift. Sure, if I bought it it’d be about $82/head but I’m keeping it forever, not be reused on a daily basis at a restaurant. They have a budget and spread that cost out. And they def get a discount.

I’ve mentioned I work in hospitality on some of these boards before. One of our facilities has its own flatwear with the company initials on it, which was fairly pricy. The cost is so spread out due to how many events we have had it really doesn’t affect pricing.

I’m still not expecting 2 credits. It’s on the Epcot map as $$$, which is Disney terms is $30-$59.99 entrees. It’s listed a Unique/Themed Dining on the website. You can search by these filters and get The Wave, Biergarten, Boma, Ohana, and a couple others. No Signatures.

One would hope people don't treat them like souvenirs but that's what happened with the sporks in Galaxy's Edge. Granted that was a different situation - quick service and probably much more of a novelty - but I wouldn't put anything past people.

You are not alone.

It's a banned site.

Multiple Disney blogs and sites now saying an April opening, paired with the new "coming soon" change on Disney's site, looks like we are close.

Once one blog posts a rumoured date, they all copy within hours. I'm almost positive they are all either copying from each other or taking the "next month" comment from the article posted.

As for the flatware, I don't see the big deal. It's really not that expensive when you start looking at quality flatware, which is needed in a high use area like a restaurant. I would not read anything at all into a correlation between the flatware price and it being a 2 credit restaurants. I would actually be really surprised if it's not 1 credit.

And finally, what gets me the most about this whole wait, is shouldn't we be seeing menus if we are a month or less away from opening? They would have to have that finalized long before a month pre-opening.
