We finally had a chance to eat at Connections this past Monday and thought that the food was a vast improvement over Electric Umbrella.

Agreed. I don’t find much of a comparison to its predecessor. I had the Bistro Burger and really like that. But then I had the chicken sandwich and that is now my favorite.
I really like this space; the huge open area, the mural, and the design elements. I also like how the Starbucks is also huge and does not feel claustrophobic like the Main Street Bakery location does.

I also had the chicken sandwich and it was probably the best theme park counter serve chicken sandwich I’ve ever had.
We ate there last weekend and we are (almost) all impressed. One member of my group ordered a burger that had stuff on it that he wasn't expecting, so it's on him. Only complaint is that we had a terrible time finding a table, and there were plenty of other people wandering for a table as well. Lots of individuals sitting at a table alone.
Give them a smile and sit down with them!
We've done it before, asked if we could sit at someone's table. Never been turned down yet.

I do it plenty on my solo trips and had families ask to join me as well. Had a great lunch with a family celebrating a 4 generation family reunion.Give them a smile and sit down with them!

I was once on my own in Cosmic Rays and was sat at my table when a lady on her own passed me looking for a table for herself. Trying to be a gentleman I politely said "Excuse me, you're welcome to join me if you would like to". She gave me what can only be described as a dirty look and said "I'm a married woman" and stormed off. I just sat there looking like this

We dont start conversations with people we have to share with outside of saying thanks. Mostly everyone just eats!
Normally we always find a table, but at crowded times I have no problems asking or offering to share if we have the room.

That's too bad! The videos appeared to show acres of tables! Some folks in this board even said that there were TOO many tables and that they'd never get used up!

10/10 highly recommend solo trips but then again I live within the state so going is easier for me then some.

When we ate at Connections last Monday, we did have to look around for a table for the three of us. It was definitely busier than when we stopped in for a soda at the beginning of May.

Kind of funny. When it first opened I recall some people on here saying there was too much seating and it wouldn’t fill, a waste of space.

This was kind of the reason I posted my comment. People that say things like that fall into two categories, 1) haven’t stepped foot into a theme park in years 2) just simply don’t understand How a theme park works.
This is basically the only place to eat in close radius to the most popular attraction in Epcot right now, quite possibly in all of WDW.

My main issue with both Creations/Connections is that the air conditioning is terrible. I love the old EPCOT looks for these establishments but lord it practically feels like you're still outside when you enter these buildings.
Two weeks ago I visited both locations several times in 90+ degree weather, and the A/C was just fine for me.

Just there on Friday and it was more than fine. Finding tables was an issue. Waiting 20 mins for food was annoying too. Great otherwise.
I don't think they're fully staffed in the kitchen or the counter. Even though the place has a huge counter for Mobile Ordering, Mobile Ordering wasn't available when I was there.
But I didn't eat at the normal lunch/dinner rush hour, so, I was able to order and get my food in a timely manner.

They seemed well staffed at the counter at least for mobile ordering. It had all the windows open with staff standing at the windows on Friday. We would've just hit the button earlier tbh and not worried about finding a table first since it was crowded. We were there around 1:15 so the later end of lunch. Food was great, just will plan better.
