EPCOT is currently undergoing a massive transformation.

EPCOT’s Spaceship Earth

We’ve already seen some new things open in the park — like Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure and the Creations Shop. But more things are on the way! In the future, guests will get to enjoy the NEW Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind coaster, check out a statue of Walt Disney, and more. One of the new things coming to EPCOT is a new restaurant called Connections Cafe & Eatery and today we have a BIG update about this new spot.

Recently Disney announced that EPCOT’s brand new quick service spot, Connections Cafe & Eatery, will open in spring 2022!

If you’re not familiar with this new spot, it’s a quick service restaurant that will be opening in EPCOT’s World Celebration. The new eatery was announced during Destination D23 in November of 2021. Imagineer Zach Riddley announced the opening timeline on Instagram as the first of five new restaurant marquees was installed on the building.

Riddley also notes in the post that the fast-casual restaurant will have an adjoining cafe. It was inspired by the “EPCOT idea of connecting” and will highlight the common bond that we share over food and the gathering of people.
