While visiting Epcot Center at Walt Disney World with a friend, she mentioned that her favorite place to enjoy a counter service meal was the Electric Umbrella. I wasn’t too excited about dining there because the menu looked—well, to be honest, kind of boring to me! You see, I usually look for something different and interesting to try while at Disney. She was persistent so we went in for a quick lunch. I was pleasantly surprised!
The restaurant is located in the Innoventions courtyard in Future World and is very easy to find. Outdoor seating is available on a shaded patio with a nice view of the Fountain of Nations. There’s also a bright, air-conditioned dining room with comfortable seating. Often unnoticed is a large upstairs dining room that’s usually less crowded and quieter. It’s a great place for families with children.
Yes, the menu is limited but the food is fresh, flavorsome and includes all the basics such as:
- Burgers
- Meatball Subs
- Vegetable Flatbreads
- Chicken Caesar Salads
- Chicken Breast Nuggets
- Desserts and Soft Drinks
The children’s menu features the following served with grapes and carrot sticks (fries are available upon request):
- Chilled Chicken Wraps
- Macaroni and Cheese
- Cheeseburgers
- Vegetable Flatbreads
Tasty desserts include Strawberry Cheesecake, Chocolate Chip Cookies, Fruit Cups and No-Sugar added Brownies. One of the great features of this counter service location is that they currently offer free refills on soft drinks. That’s particularly nice on hot days!
I was glad that I visited the Electric Umbrella during my visit to Epcot Center. The trial visit made me a regular customer! You should give it a try on your next Walt Disney World vacation!
