I would have loved if they themed it after Old Epcot. You know back when he it actually fit it's name.

Sterile hospital cafeteria doesn't appeal to you though?

Hospital food only appealed to me when I had to go 48 hours without eating during labor. Maybe that the thought, if someone is hungry enough anything is appealing...

The site plan looks like it might have outdoor seating in the quadrant of the main plaza nearest Connections, but it's difficult to tell.

As part of the new hub? That's an odd location to put one as its the opposite side of where you pick up your food and cross a busy walkway. Should be between the building and Guardians.

Not really sure where else they would put it. The tables in the breezeway were clearly a temporary measure. It’ll likely just be benches otherwise.
Who woulda thunk that a burger and pizza QS woulda been so popular?
They started to add outdoor seating in the breezeway between Connections and Creations.
There's plenty of space for outdoor seating between Connections and Cosmic. They could even enclose it. Better for a bulge to be on that side of Connections than bulging into the hub like EU's outdoor seating did.
I still say that the food kiosk by Test Track should be serving something a bit more substantial with picnic seating surrounding it serving stuff like: turkey legs, hot dogs, chicken nuggets, ect... Maybe even put a festival booth or two nearby. And if PLAY! ever opens, the outdoor pitiful and woefully constantly rethemed playground can go bye byes.
The Land still is sorta nearby with QS indoor seating. And those really craving burgers and pizza still have the America and Italy pavilions. Or a stroll to BoardWalk.

My guess is due to the menu..If it kept EU's menu and the way it's made it would have had a decrease...
But, I'm pretty sure 75% of those guests are there more for friggin Starbucks.

The busyness of the eatery, not the cafe, was apparent when I was there. I'm pretty sure that that 75% number you suggested is not right.

I do wonder what the state of Computer Central is. I really thought with all the work going on in the buildings, they'd do something with that space. It's a large chunk of building that's not in use.
It's probably just storage space honestly.

I'm just throwing a number out there....if Starbucks was moved to Oddessy I still think it would reduce the crowds in there..

Oh it would for sure, but it's still pretty popular.

It is funny to hear that when there were so many comments about there being too much floor space devoted to seating when this opened

Shame a second floor wasn't made for it...

Really? For (I hate saying this) the park's "main" restaurant, it lacks seating - especially being right next to the park's newest attraction.

I can't say I'm that surprised that they're already cutting back on the menu, but it still seems pretty fast. Hasn't it only been open about 3.5 months?
