Disney Pulls EPCOT Breezeway Seating as Princess Half Marathon Weekend Begins

Overview

• Tables, benches, and umbrellas were removed from the outdoor breezeway between Connections Café and Creations Shop in EPCOT’s World Celebration.
• The timing aligns with runDisney’s Princess Half Marathon Weekend, with 5K, 10K, and half marathon events using the corridor for pre-dawn race routes.
• Operators are consolidating seating into purpose-built areas after the full opening of CommuniCore Hall and Plaza, reducing bottlenecks on primary walkways.
• Guests are being directed to alternatives including CommuniCore Hall and Plaza, World Celebration Gardens, the Odyssey Pavilion, and areas near Journey of Water.
• Reports say seating could return after March 2 once the race weekend ends, though Flower & Garden Festival preparations starting March 4 may delay any reinstall.
• The breezeway furniture began as temporary overflow when Connections Café’s indoor seating filled quickly after its opening.
