Cantina de San Angel Expansion

(from Disney Parks Blog)



here's a sneak peek of what you can expect to see when the construction wall comes down at the Mexico Pavilion later this year. If you’ve visited Epcot recently, you know the Cantina de San Angel restaurant is expanding. This artist rendering gives you a good idea of what seating looks like at the restaurant when work is completed (wut?). There will be 400 seats – both al fresco and air-conditioned seating for lunch and a coveted spot for dinner and viewing IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth.

Haha except that it doesn't give a good idea what seating will be like. Looks huge though, to the point where I wonder how that will fit in the same location.

i remember the exact location it was at and kinda wonder about it too. it's such a small area..something has to come down right? i haven't heard anything though..surely they would have mentioned it by now?

Maybe the building will curve along with the water? All I know is there is no way that building is fitting in that scale on that land.

okay just read on the dis that this was going to be counter service-only during the day and full service at night that takes adr's.

here's some pics of what's happening now:





















kinda worried now that it's gonna be too big. =\ that covers a looooot of area.

Do you have any comparison pics of the old San Angel Inn?

here's a few:







haha, i like how in the last picture, the lamp on the right looks like a sombrero over the guy underneath its' head.

haha, uh huh.

Yeah, there is no way that building is as big as the one they're building now.
