Connections Cafe and Eatery has joined the EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival again this year as a bonus location, serving up several festival-themed items!

Connections Eatery

The 2026 EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival has officially started, and it has a LOT to offer. There are plenty of food booths with tasty items, unique topiaries to check out, merchandise to grab (of course), and even concerts to watch. But don’t let it overwhelm you, we’ve got you covered with everything you need to know. And now we’re heading to Connections Cafe and Eatery to give you the FULL scoop! Is it worth a try? Let’s find out!

Menu

This year, Connections is serving up a returning Hot Honey Chicken Sandwich and an all-new Pizza Bianca.

Now that we’ve taken a look at the menu, let’s dive into the food itself!

Eats

First up, we grabbed the new Pizza Bianca — which is two slices of freshly baked pizza topped with roasted wild mushrooms, garlic cream, mozzarella, cheese blend, truffle oil, and thyme for $12.29.

Pizza Bianca

This pizza was alright. It’s certainly better than many of the “puff” pizza options across Walt Disney World, but there were several faults that kept the slice from breaking beyond mid. The pizza itself was floppy, and the slice was very oily, all of which made it tough to eat. In addition, the mushrooms gave the pizza a bit of a rubbery texture. It could just be the slices we got, but if you’re a truffle or mushroom fan, you might still like this!

Next up is the returning Hot Honey Chicken Sandwich — a Southern fried chicken sandwich with hot honey, red cabbage slaw, and pickles on a brioche bun that sells for $13.19.

Hot Honey Chicken Sandwich

This item has been on the Festival menu for a couple of years now. And each time we eat it, we discover that it’s “Disney hot” — which means not hot at all.

Drinks

A new drink has joined the festival this year — the Garden Glimmer, made with Empress 1908 Gin, DOLE Pineapple Juice, lemon juice, and almond-flavored syrup for $16.50.

So, should you stop by this booth?

OVERALL

In the end, Connections’ 2026 Flower & Garden offerings were a bit disappointing, all things considered, the new Pizza Bianca in particular.

That’s it for this booth, but there’s a LOT more where that came from!
