Epcot - Fountainview

[flowrida]

Hi there,

On our last two or three visits to Epcot the cafe Fountainview has been closed. Does anyone know if this is just temporary or is it closed for good? The do/did wonderful coconut cream pie so i hope its not for good!!

I don't have an answer, but my observations over the past 5 or so years - it hasn't been open one time I've been at EP. I know it's been used for components of the Food & Wine Fest, and possibly the Flower & Garden Fest as well.

It was open last September when we went but closed down and turned into a F&W thing just before F&W started. Bummer!!

Good luck on your trip.

From what I have seen over the last few years it has very limited operating hours. The last two years it was the wine tasting bar during the F & W Festival. That may change this year since a lot of the F & W stuff is being moved to the Wonders of Life Pavilion. From what I have seen posted at Fountainview when they are open they seem to open for the morning & close by 1 or 2pm. So you can get your first morning coffee there but if you want any of their baked goodies or sandwiches you need to get there before 1PM. I personally miss the late hours they had in the past. I use to pick up some goodies on my way out of the park at the end of the night. I much preferred their offerings to those found in France and the staff was much friendlier at Fountain View. One of my favorites was a woman named Jolly. She moved over to the Electric Umbrella.

karrit2000, I remember those late night snacks at FV while watching the thundering hoards leaving the parks, stars sparkling, water flowing and nice rest before heading out of the parks.

That's where we traditionally picked up our cappuccinos for the 2 hour drive home.
