I know I have had late meals at EPCOT, and walked out well after the park's official closing time.

Originally Posted By trekkeruss I can't comment on the SOB experience, but I think the concept was limiting in appeal. I know it's not something I was interested in, let's put it that way. Sit-coms are more universally watched, so would be a better idea for that style of theme restaurant, IMO.

That was one of the factors for the now extinct SOB. I remeber when DCA opened the food was the best part. Now I can't think of any resturants that I really enjoy...ok, maybe the Beer Cart and Cove Bar...but then that is really not food. Bring on the good entertaining dining!
