Electric Umbrella is a counter service restaurant within Innoventions in Epcot

History

The restaurant that is today known as the Electric Umbrella originally opened as Stargate with the rest of EPCOT Center on October 1, 1982 [1]. Located in CommuniCore East, the Stargate was a counter service restaurant that served breakfast, lunch and dinner [2].

On April 10, 1994 Stargate closed for refurbishment as part of CommuniCore's transition to Innoventions [3]. Following renovations, the dining location reopened on June 24 as the Electric Umbrella [3]. Although the restaurant was updated at this time, it retained the same layout [4]. Since reopening as the Electric Umbrella, the dining location has not seen any major changes.
