If it makes you feel any better, it’s going to be a tiny restaurant on a small plot that could only ever be used for a store or restaurant.

Yeah, I just couldn't pass up the opportunity

I do appreciate having so many options though....No other park can say that really

Keep an eye out for all new announcements.

Wait a minute...are they finally using the Chinese Theater as a park icon???

Seems clear that Epcot is taking a hit (at least today) due to TSL. Currently, both Test Track and Imagination are down, yet Frozen Ever After sits under an hour wait (45 mins last I checked).

With little to draw people to Epcot until Rat/GotG though, it honestly should come as little surprise.

And the capacity of Frozen is lower than Slinky’s already low capacity as well.

I wonder if times will even out once people realize TSL is a waste of time

Times won’t be as drastic as today, but wait times in TSL are still gonna be pretty bad until MMRR and SWGE opens next year.

What's funny is this clearly isn't a bump in the crowds, but rather people already in that park flocking over to TSL...Shows how poor capacity is here

There was more people in the park than normal today no doubt. I just think it was eating away from Epcot’s attendance instead of attracting new.

However, the amount of people I saw wearing the TSL Mickey ears, glow merch and buying other TSL merch was insane. If this isn’t just a Day 1 thing and they continue to sell merch like they did today, they don’t need increased attendance for the land to be a financial success.

There is a space restaurant coming?

Yeah was announced at D23 with everything else. Kind of fell on the wayside though and easily forgotten.

 

[Nick]

Glad to finally see movement on the Space Restaurant.

I'm not huge on exhibits, but American Adventure always seems to hit it out of the park with theirs and this one looks great as well
