While it’s not officially scheduled to open until April 27, 2022, the Connections Cafe and Eatery is in a soft opening period. I had a chance to tour this newest Disney quick service location and enjoy a meal.
Let’s take a look:
Entrances
There are five different entrances to the Connections Cafe & Eatery. All feature the bold EPCOT font in white.
Connections features bold and colorful artwork in a large, open space.
Check out the EPCOT logo!
I spy the EPCOT logo with interlocking circles.

The floor pays homage to the original map design for EPCOT the city.

Food
I tried the Banh Mi burger with French fries – it was great!
The carrots and cucumbers, together with the sauce, gave this hamburger a great taste.
