Construction Equipment Removed, Landscaping Nears Completion as Connections Café and Eatery Prepares to Open at EPCOT

Connections Café and Eatery appears ready to go at EPCOT, as the entrance from the World Discovery side seems basically finished.

As we passed by this morning on the Walt Disney World Monorail, we could see that all the construction equipment that had been cluttering the entrance has been removed, leaving a clear view of the landscaping, which seems virtually complete.

The early morning light also gave us a peek at the energetically-designed lighting fixtures overhead.

It also gives us a clearer look at the light poles that will light the way to the new counter-service restaurant. They’ve been in place for a while, but with the clutter removed, it seems like a pretty spot in the making.

Recently, we got another sign that it should be opening soon, as tables and chairs were added to the seating area.

Moving closer to Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind (which will also be opening very soon), we can see a welcoming array of palm trees mixed in amongst the shrubs. Of course, if you’re more interested in what you’ll be able to eat inside the restaurant, menus and pricing have already been released.
