Disney Imagineer Zach Riddley continues to give us behind-the-scenes looks into the new EPCOT Connections Cafe and the design details that he and his colleagues have put into the project.
One great detail that Disney history fans will love is a design embedded into the floor that pays tribute to the original master plan layout for EPCOT that Walt Disney himself shared with the world in the 1967 Florida Project film.
Let’s take a look:
“Drawing inspiration from Walt’s Florida project master plan, Imagineers designed a flooring inlay for Connections Eatery at EPCOT which would infuse the original DNA of the resort into this new location within World Celebration. One of my favorite details is the intersection of I-4 and US 192 highways, represented by the orange lines which cut across the map. Linework showing original ideas for EPCOT, Magic Kingdom and other recreational amenities reflect the diversity and scale that has always been the guiding vision for Walt Disney World.
