The Electric Umbrella will have its final day of operation on February 15 2020 as the center of Future World closes.

Electric Umbrella overview

Beginning February 16, Electric Umbrella will be closed, along with Pin Central and the surrounding merchandise carts.

Guests will be directed to use the newly created walkways on each side of Spaceship earth, with the right hand-side leading to The Seas, The Land and Imagination!, and the left-side walkway between Guest Relations and Gateway Gifts leading to Mission: Space and Mouse Gear.

With the closure of Electric Umbrella, Sunshine Seasons will offer burgers, the Epcot Experience will serve chicken nuggets and salads, and the Taste Track kiosk will offer burgers and fries near to Test Track.

A new quick serve location will eventually be built in approximately the same area as Electric Umbrella as part of the redevelopment of the center of the park.

I wonder if LwtL's Christmas decorations, which totally was a huge draw with queues at night hitting an hour, was a sign that if they spruced it up a bit more outside of Christmas, it would help with capacity, since it often only has a 5 minute queue.

I like improved lighting but I feel this needs to be a bit adjusted. Seems overdone but again, pictures and videos aren't going to show what it's really like. Anyways, I'm so happy to see the ride getting regular love and can't wait to see it in person.

Looks like they're going for a consistent vibe in all of their bayous.

Love this sort of stuff. A ride doesn’t need a massive overhaul all at once, iterative improvements through the years culminate to an exceptional experience over time. It reminds me of Disneyland. I honestly wish they would leave more room for improvement in new rides. A lot may never come to fruition, but if you allow for future plussing (not an excuse to cheap out) you can ultimately deliver a better product through the years.

A new palm tree has been planted near a group of much older trees in World Discovery, across from Connections Eatery. There was previously a large circular planter over this spot in the pavement.
