The Blast-off Burger, Cosmic Chicken and Starlight Soups and Salads are all "stellar." Situated across from Tomorrowland Indy Speedway, Cosmic Ray's is a counter service establishment featuring a variety of menu offerings from three "Bays"--which are separate serving counters. The Bay concept is unique, and it really helps to disperse the crowds across many different registers. But...the downside is that each Bay serves items which are not available at the other ones. So, you'll need to synchronize your party's food needs, or else be prepared to split up to order (with each separate order paid for individually).

Cosmic Ray's has a standing contract with Sonny Eclipse, a bona fide lounge lizard! Sonny's set includes quite a few catchy tunes, all space-themed, of course--such as "Gravity" ("You've Got a Hold on Me!"), along with some happy banter that's sure to please even the most demanding audience. The show is continuous, so there's no need to time a meal for it. Sonny can be seen best in the large auditorium, so try for a seat there (there are other dining areas in Cosmic Ray's, so use caution in selecting a table).

Cosmic Ray's serves several sandwiches, chicken nuggets, burgers, salads, soups, fries, and dessert. Everyone is sure to find something they like on the extensive menu. A nice feature here is the "topping bar" which includes all the usual condiments (ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise, salt/pepper, barbecue sauce, and the like) as well as some "extras" that really allow you to "build a better burger" like lettuce, sliced tomatoes, sauteed onions, mushrooms, and pickles.

Touring Tips

  • This is a great Counter Serve restaurant. There are three sides that feature different menus. It's perfect when everyone wants something different and you don't want to go to separate venues. This is the largest counter serve restaurant in the Magic Kingdom with lots of indoor seating.
  • This location has quick-service menu items or products that, upon request, may accommodate Guests' common food allergy or intolerance requirements.
