Located in the former corporate lounge overlooking World Celebration, the new space will be inspired by the geometric sphere.

Disney says the zen space for families to gather and enjoy refreshments will be draped with rich textures and warm metallic tones, giving it a mysterious and elegant intimacy.

Toilet paper is all you get now.

Kinda hard to have “adults only” in Magic Kingdom… That’s what the tiki room is for 😉

At least the concept art for the Pirates Tavern has kids in it, so that one should be fine for all ages it seems

Well one’s a fountain…and the other replaced a omnimover pavilion… So really just remy

The real questions are: 1. What should be for everyone? 2. Can they be bothered to add such things?

There are multiple ways to take rooms out of service in their system. OOO is not available inventory for accounting purposes. And the contention wasn’t “less” rooms…the question was “capacity” So if aggregate attendance was in the low to mid 40s in 2005…what should the onsite rack have been in 2019 when it “alledgedly ” was like 59 mil? I know we believe that everything is fantastic…all the time…in Orlando… And with that we have to believe that “well they want less people…” which is fundamentally stupid for a public traded company that leans on parks revenue… …but as far as capacity relative to attendance and lodging goes…this isn’t the case

My thoughts exactly. For better or worse there’s nothing here that kids would want to see .

Ironically, the former Disney Springs president is the new Epcot VP…so Wonders of Life pavilion will definitely be turned into an Inside Out restaurant!

It was a Hyatt Regency. 😂

Yes, I don't have an issue with the lounge and keeping it 21+. The concept art, however, just looks so bland. It looks like a blend of just about every hotel bar and airport lounge I've visited over the past 10 years or so.

By the way some are reacting to the 21+, you’d think they’re putting in a strip club. Which now that I think about it, that might actually help boost EPCOT’s attendance. Disney seems to be digging the Marriott look these days.

This caused me to look at the 10Q filings and it appears the answer is indeed yes, there are more rooms than 2005. Gran Destino and Art of Animation are 2500 rooms. DVC still represents rooms. Kidani Village, Bay Lake Tower, the Grand Flo DVC tower and Riviera are all rooms. It's certainly not Eisner impressive hotel growth and really not good for 20 years. Something else interesting I just stumbled on is I think people kept saying Disney was fudging occupancy by taking room wings offline. But that is not actually the case. (5)Available hotel room nights is defined as the total number of room nights that are available at our hotels and at Disney Vacation Club (DVC) properties located at our theme parks and resorts that are not utilized by DVC members. Available hotel room nights include rooms temporarily taken out of service. Anyways, this is all very off topic, but interesting to share.
