Land Pavilion

Post by little_hippo2005 » Jan Sat 22, 2005 12:43 am

Does anyone know what is going to happen to the land pavilion? I would hate to see The Living with the Land attraction to fade away; Soarin' is being built which may cause closures. :?

I liked the boat ride. Very informative, and our guide was giving us little anecdotes about EPCOT (like different versions of the acronym).

That is a nice ride, always enjoy it. It is supposed to be open again April 1, they closed the pavilion many so they could work on the interior to connect to the Soarin' building. I wouldn't imagine that they will alter the ride at all, it is the heart of the building.

Overall though SE takes my vote though all but Mission Space [and the new Imagination ride] are close behind it.

And Epcot is where every person comes out tired....

I'm sure they won't mess with Living with the Land. My vote goes to Test Track. :D

I would have to agree that they are not going to alter the Land ride. Probably doing some interior changes. I have some pics of the construction that i took last week ( 1/27/05 ). I'll put together a website so everyone can see.

The Land Pavillion news-

6 March 2005: Sunshine Seasons

Details are emerging on the new counter service restaurant in The Land, replacing the old Sunshine Seasons Food Fair.

From the Cast Eyes and Ears:

This spring, Guests can celebrate the seasons at the new Sunshine Seasons, a fast-paced, fast-casual restaurant at The Land at Epcot. Fast-casual dining is a hybrid concept offering the convenience of a quick-service establishment with unique menu offerings and ingredients historically associated with more “casual” table-service operations. Chefs will cook the restaurant’s food in an open, onstage kitchen so Guests can see their selections being prepared. “The senses should love this area because there is
something for each sense to enjoy,” said Chef de Cuisine Mike Bersell. “Sunshine Seasons takes the open kitchen concept to a bigger level.”

Guests will order food from five different stations, and then take their selections to a centralized cashier area. The food stations, which will feature video menu boards, will be themed to the different seasons of the year. The Wood-Fired Grill Shop will feature a wood-fired grill and rotisseries that produce items inspired by fall, with hearty, earthy flavors and unique presentations. Here, Guests will find ancho-rubbed beef with chimichurri sauce, Moroccan rotisserie chicken, grilled Atlantic salmon and more. At the Soup and Salad Shop, Guests will find unique soups and salads inspired by the abundance of growth and the celebration of springtime. Chefs will use the freshest of ingredients, utilizing fresh herbs and vegetables from The Land greenhouse. The Asian Wok Shop will serve noodle bowls and stir fry inspired by the crisp and intriguing flavors of Asia. This area will feature a Mongolian barbecue and wok station. The menu, inspired by summer, with a light, healthy and flavorful approach, will feature items such as Mongolian vegetable beef stir fry, vegetarian noodle bowl with tofu and more. The Sandwich Shop will feature hearty sandwiches served on artisan breads that are inspired by the great baking traditions of the winter months. Here, Guests will find a black forest ham and salami grinder, turkey muffuletta, grilled veggie Cuban sandwich and more. The area also will feature a Bakery serving muffins, bagels, croissants, danish, desserts, coffee and more. Each food station will offer vegetarian and children’s selections, as well as “grab ‘n’ go” items. “We’re committed to serving great food in a ‘fast-casual,’ friendly and exciting atmosphere,” Mike said. “Our team is committed to providing outstanding customer service and an extraordinary dining experience.”

Yep - that is the same as Disneynut posted. Doesn't give too much atmosphere details as to the food court area - that is the part I'm hoping they didn't mess with too much. Of course the area by Food Rocks will be new for Soarin'...
