Pizza Port offers nothing like that...outside seating is not real view of anything. My opinion.

If we think of Tomorrowland with a "clean slate" ... the possibilities are many. An earlier rumor (and let me stress that - rumor) .. was some chatter a year or two ago ... that imagineering may be working on a new Tomorrowland plan .. that extends Tomorrowland showbuildings as far east as the can .. to Harbor Blvd. Now ... I don't know. I see critical "backstage" facilities that may not be movable. Like a chiller plant, and water systems for the Submarine Voyage - Not to mention the dioramas along the DLRR. But with Innoventions gone, HISTA .. gone, Starcade gone ... and all that somewhat wasted space within Space Mountain's east flanking wing structure ... we're talking some serious space that can be so totally retooled - with a a serious "double decking" ... So Redd Rockets Pizza Port could be re-imagined in such a geographical location that we never thought of. So .. there's plenty of possibilities!!

And of course, Space Mountain .. itself. Everything else could get the bulldozer! I'm sure many of you (like me) are waiting on pins and needles ... on this New Tomorrowland that Al, Screamscape.com .. and a couple other internet columns .. have mentioned - with it's (then) proposed construction dates of 2010-2012. I want to envision something pretty spectacular! Tomorrowland has been holding on to a lot of infrustructure/buildings .. that have been holding on since 1967, and 1977. I so hope they are not being conservative with new Tomorrowland proposals. They pulled that in 1998 .. and look where that got them. So .. I'm hoping.

I wanted to shoot for more short lines but it was 2:00 and the fiance made me eat something.

We went to Pizza OMM, thinking they'd serve the same Pizza as Red Rockett's, but such was not the case. They were serving melted cheese on cardboard. We make at LEAST one trip to Red Rockett's each visit, usually getting pasta (which is not overcooked) and salad. I like to sit out back, where I've never found it to be too crazy-- a peaceful place to relax & eat.
