Credit: DisneyWalt Disney World Resort’s newest cafe, Connections Eatery, opened at EPCOT on April 27. The Quick Service restaurant is one of the latest additions to EPCOT during its long overhaul.
Connections Eatery replaced Electric Umbrella, a Quick Service restaurant that served burgers, flatbread pizzas, and other American fares. However, reactions to the newest Disney Park restaurant have been mixed, with one Guest feeling “ripped off” after purchasing an $11 slice of pizza.

“It’s nice that they got rid of the Electric Umbrella and replaced it with the food court from LaGuardia Airport,” he replies, deadpan. Connections Eatery has a much more modern, minimalist look than the retro Electric Umbrella.
