With so many great dining options at Epcot, I tend to overlook the Electric Umbrella, which is located in the Future World (front) section of the park. It just seems like a fast food location that I could find at any of the other Disney parks, and as such, I tend to pass it by for the full-service and more culturally themed restaurants at the back of the park.

Recently though, I found myself with some extra time and no reservations for any other location, and I'm so glad that I stopped by the Electric Umbrella to try their Sausage and Pepper Sandwich. The Italian Sausage actually had a proper spiced up kick to it!  In fact, the whole sandwich was very well balanced.

The bread can usually make or break any sandwich item, and while it initially looked like there would be too much breading on this dish, that wasn't the case. It was packed full of (probably grilled or sautéed) peppers, onions, and a chunky tomato sauce. Because everything was covered with two melted slices of Provolone Cheese, you couldn't really tell how much "stuff" was in the sandwich. There were a total of four Italian Sausages (which were prepared "meatball" style) and enough of the peppers, onions and tomato sauce to keep the sandwich from drying out.

While a side of grapes is available with the entry, I opted for the French Fries, because really… grapes??? The fries were great as well, but that's no surprise. The fries at most Disney counter service locations are hot and fresh. All in all, a really great counter service item, and worthy of a try if you happen to be hungry in the Future World section of the park!
