REVIEW: The DANGER With Getting This Treat at the EPCOT Festival of the Holidays

We have some extremely important information to share — and it’s all about FOOD!

Connections Cafe

The 2023 EPCOT Festival of the Holidays has officially begun and it has a LOT to offer. There are plenty of food booths with tasty items, shows and storytellers to watch, souvenirs to grab (of course), and even a cookie stroll to complete. But don’t let it overwhelm you — we’ve got you covered with everything you need to know. And now we’re heading to one spot in particular — Connections Cafe — to give you the FULL scoop! Is it worth a try? Let’s find out!

Eats

Here, we grabbed the Holiday Sugar Cookie which is a Cookie Stroll Item! You can get this one for $3.99. While we didn’t think this was anything to write home about in the past, we were excited to see if anything had changed for this year. It’s really big, adorable, and has such fun holiday sprinkles on it, making it a great one to snap a photo of to make all of your friends jealous!

Holiday Sugar Cookie

This one was YUMMY. It’s nice, soft, and chewy — just like a good cookie should be.

It’s good!

There are red and green hard candies on top that provided a nice crunch. It’s not necessarily worth the long line that we experienced here, but it’s worth it for that Cookie Stroll stamp! The dangerous part? This cookie comes from the STARBUCKS location at EPCOT. That means you’ll face a long wait no matter when you visit. If you’re doing the Cookie Stroll, you might wanna stop here FIRST and grab your morning coffee alongside it so that you can go ahead and get both out of the way.

Drinks

While there are no exclusive drinks that you can grab at Connections Cafe, you can head a short distance over to Connections Eatery!

OVERALL

All in all, we think that the items here are fun and super festive. Are they worth the looooong wait that you’ll typically find at Connections? Not for us. Will you be disappointed if you DO happen to wait that long? Not at all! It’s a great choice if you’re looking for a stamp for your Cookie Stroll page in your passport. Honestly, you’ll ONLY catch us here if we’re doing the Cookie Stroll. Otherwise it isn’t anything to write home about.
