Be an Imagineer: What New Themed Dining Would You Create?

In a different topic, MmeLeota came up with this idea:
It would be a fabulous idea to turn the old Image Works area into interactive dining. Keep some of the original attributes (pin tables, floor that makes noise when stepped on, rainbow tunnel) as well as adding in new technologies to show how far we've come.
It is great idea! It not only would be unique but its theme would perfectly blend into the Imagination Pavillion at EPCOT. On top of that, it would use what is currently wasted space in attraction/pavillion that could desperately use some foot traffic.
I remembered once on Spaceship Earth at the top where you see space and earth on the top of the dome and thinking if they could do this, what about...Milliways, the Restaurant at the End of the Universe? What about dining while you watch the end of everything like in the Douglas Adams book of the same name? If anyone could have achieved this, Disney could have done. It would have been great for either MGM Disney or DownTown Disney. Of course, years later, Disney turned Douglas Adam's first book into one of the worst sci-fi films ever made, so bad even loyal Douglas Adams fans would boo, so the idea of Milliways has now and forever been totally trashed as infinitely improbable for a restaurant idea.
So, pretend you're imagineer and your project is to create a new themed dining experience that's unique, imaginative and fun and would fit into one of the Disney theme parks. What would be your idea?
