Talking Trash Can Returns to EPCOT for Extra Fun
You may remember the talking trash can that used to be in EPCOT’s Electric Umbrella. Well, guess what!?! It’s back for more fun, and you can find it in the Odyssey building.
Old Location Versus New Location
So, the Electric Umbrella used to be located in EPCOT’s Future World across from Mouse Gear. It was a quick-service dining location that offered burgers, flatbreads, chicken nuggets, and other options.
However, the Electric Umbrella closed due to the massive transformation of EPCOT. Therefore, the talking trash can left with it.
Until today, that is! Now, you can find it in the Odyssey building. The Odyssey building is located next to the water between Test Track and the Mexico Pavilion. So, now you know exactly where to find the talking trash can if you wish to see it!
Trash Can Interaction
MickeyBlogger Angel found the trash can today. So, let’s see how her interaction went with the beloved, Disney rubbish.
This is a hilarious and fun addition to your Disney day, and it is quite random if you don’t expect it. There are several comments the trash can makes to Guests when they open the compartment door.
You can hear:
- Several voices say, “What are you doing? Stop that!”
- A sweet voice says, “Thank you!”
- Finally, you hear multiple voices argue over the garbage saying, “It’s mine!”
What Are Your Thoughts?
Personally, I love the interactive trash can at EPCOT. I think it’s unique and fun for all ages! But, what are your thoughts?
Also, I remember the trash cans that used to follow Guests around at Hollywood Studios. Understandably, you may not want to be chased down by a trash can, but it was a fun feature.
Trash cans are actually a big part of Walt Disney World’s cleanliness. Walt Disney, himself, made an observation that people tend to drop litter if trash cans are farther than 30 steps away.
Therefore, if you notice, trash cans are never more than a very short walk while you’re in Disney Parks. So, trash is very easily thrown away!
The Beauty of Disney World
Hence, a talking trash can, and regular trash cans, are important in Walt Disney World Resort!
