Connections Café & Eatery To Sterile Looking For Many

Published on

I have been seeing a lot of people talking about the new Connections Café & Eatery online and it isn’t always complimentary. In fact many feel the Electric Umbrella replacement looks like a hospital cafeteria and honestly, I agree.

Connections Café & Eatery is set to officially open next week at EPCOT. This will be the new quick service dining location near Spaceship Earth. It will also be the new location for Starbucks. But it is very bland in appearance. I think they were trying to go neutral and modern but as some point out, it looks like Ikea.

This is a video posted by AllEars showing the location during soft opening:

Here is what people are saying:

 

Now it did soft open yesterday and some people did say the food was quite good, so there is that.
The mural feels more like it belongs in The Land to me, but it’s that whole “Global Neighborhoods” thing they are now using.

EPCOT was always about science, creativity and looking forward and now it just feels like they are making it current year. So just any other park then. I hate to think of how they would have changed Spaceship Earth for “Our shared story.”

IP everywhere I’m sure.

But I digress.

Some people do like the design. I get the thought process behind it, but I think it translated a little too sterile for many. When you have amazingly themed restaurants in other parks it does come across as a bit hospital food court. Although the mural does help to give it some life.
