Sneak Peek At Upcoming Connections Café Opening In EPCOT Spring 2022!

When EPCOT began it’s reimagining the Electric Umbrella dining location closed and has been rebuilt into the new Connections Café that is coming very soon, this Spring 2022.

The new restaurant will be a quick-service location like the Electric Umbrella was. Since it’s part of the reimagining into the “World Celebration” the food will reflect various cultures.

Now the Disney Parks Blog has given us a sneak peek at the upcoming new location.

The chef’s will be visible and you can watch them create your food.
