EPCOT is undergoing a HUGE transformation that includes new rides, restaurants, neighborhoods, and more.

Connections Café construction

Late last year, Disney announced another NEW restaurant coming to the park as part of the transformation, and now we have even MORE details about what we can expect from the upcoming eatery!

Connections Café is the new spot coming to EPCOT’s World Celebration. It will be located right next to Creations, the new main store in the park. Not too long ago, we learned that this quick service spot will be opening THIS SPRING, so we don’t even have to wait a long time to try it out!

And, we just found out that this location will also be the new home of Starbucks in the park! Imagineer Zach Riddley shared this new concept art of the restaurant and shared the update. He said the kitchen you can see in the rendering will actually be responsible for “making a variety of baked goods, which will be available at Connections Eatery.”

He goes on to say that this Starbucks coming to Connections Café will be designed to fit the theme of its surroundings, and that more details will be shared later on.

So, not only are we getting a new restaurant, but we’re also getting a new Starbucks location! This could mean that the current location over near the entrance to World Showcase might be leaving, but we’ll have to wait and see. Remember that the park’s previous Starbucks location used to be housed over in this area before construction began.

We’ll share more news about the project as soon as we find out more, so stay tuned to DFB for updates!
