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

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.

    The spinning Earth effect has once again been restored at Mission: SPACE, with a new paint job as well. Mars repainting seems to finally be nearly complete.

    Right? Guests should be wowed. They will be at Epic Universe. As for Epcot, the only wow factor is what was already there - Spaceship Earth. Some of the rest of it is nice. Better than what it recently replaced. But that's the extent of it.

    It's like how A&E is nothing but storage war shows or how IFC only airs Everybody loves Raymond reruns. Epcot couldn't keep up with technology and gradually rebranded like a basic cable network. Yes, that's an apt analogy.

    Fully agree. Now that we are seeing what EU will look like at night Disney should be embarrassed with the way Epcot looks. Now I’m curious if EUs new nighttime show might be more popular than Luminous.

    Disney should be ashamed. If I worked there I would be.

    Epcot: We've got a planter. Seriously, I've been a Disney fan over a Uni fan by a large margin my entire life. Even the announcement of Epic Universe did nothing for me. But look how badly Disney dropped the ball on much of the Epcot redo (I like some of it) particularly the removal of the fountain, and the disaster of the lighting. Then look at what's going on at Universal.

    Epcot seriously needs to get with it!

    There is a separate loop in the Cosmic Rewind area, seems to consist mostly of Marvel/GotG instrumental scores

    If only.

    Has this been confirmed or are we going to hear some raspy girl sing some odd ball version to appease this generation?

    Then I wouldn’t worry. It’s pretty likely that it’s going to be the background loop.
