EPCOT is undergoing some massive changes right now, and a whole bunch of new things are on the way!
A new Moana-themed attraction and the new Guardians of the Galaxy coaster are just some of the many new things that will soon be added to EPCOT. Another new thing fans will soon be able to experience in this park has to do with something so integral to our very being that it’s in our name…FOOD (we are Disney Food Blog after all!). Connections Cafe & Eatery will bring a new Starbucks location and more treats to this iconic park, and though we’ve already gotten a look at the space’s design and more, today we got some HUGE news.
Today, Disney shared a FIRST LOOK at some of the new dishes that fans will be able to munch on once the Connections Eatery opens up this spring!
The restaurant will be quick-service, and will draw inspiration from the many cuisines you can find all around the world. According to Disney, “the purpose of Connections Eatery is to show us how food has the power to bring us together if we open our minds (and our stomachs)!”
Guests will get to see the chefs in action as they make final touches on some sweet treats or craft the perfect pizza dough. But enough about the space, let’s talk about the FOOD!
First up, we’ve got some burgers and sandwiches. The menu will include a French Bistro Burger with Caramelized Onion, Bacon, Brie, Mushrooms and Dijon Mayonnaise…
…a Southwestern Burger with a roasted chipotle-corn salsa and guacamole spread…
…a Vietnamese-inspired Banh Mi Burger…
…and also a Greek-inspired Mediterranean Burger. Sounds like quite the selection for sandwich and burger fans!
There will also be salads, including a Niçoise-style Salad with potatoes, white and green beans, and olives drizzled with a delicious Dijon vinaigrette…
…and a General Tso Chicken Salad, which will have a Petite Kale Blend, Broccoli Slaw, Red Bell Pepper, Mandarin Oranges, Edamame, Crispy Wontons, Warm Fried Chicken and General Tso’s Dressing.
Then, we come to the pizzas! There will be 4 pizzas available, including a Meatball Pizza…
…Curry Spice Pizza, topped with carrots, potato, peas, and lime “yogurt” (which appears to be plant-based)…
…and a Pepperoni Pizza with Pepperoni, San Marzano Tomato and Basil Sauce, Mozzarella Blend and a Petite Side Salad.
Kiddos will have some specific kid-friendly options here too. The kids menu will include a Grilled Chicken Bao, Chicken Nuggets Basket, and Cheeseburger.
And (of course) you’ve got to leave room for dessert! The Liege Waffle will be one of Connections Eatery’s dessert options. This is made with brioche yeast dough stuffed with pearl sugar and finished with some fun toppings.
There will be some unique drinks to pick from too including shakes! Specifically, Disney has shared that there will be a Mango-Coconut Milk Shake, topped off with a pomegranate molasses drizzle…
…and an Apple Pie Gelato Shake! YUM!
Other beverages will be available at this spot too, including a Watermelon-Mint Agua Fresca (alcohol-free)…
…wines and draft beers, and even a Cucumber and Thai Basil Cooler (alcoholic).
As we mentioned, Connections Cafe will feature a Starbucks inside which will be designed to fit its surroundings. We can’t wait to see what this all looks like and share our FULL thoughts with you.
Remember that Connections Cafe & Easter is set to open in the spring of 2022. Stay tuned for more updates!
