I am wondering when Cosmic Ray's Starlight Cafe opened up... This place is often VERY crowded at lunch but I rarely see any posts about it. I figured someone on here could give me some info
 
They open at 10:30am and closing times depend on the park hours :-)
 
Our family loves Cosmic Rays. There is such a wide varity of food and the air-conditioning is great! One of us goes with the kids for a table and the other gets the food. We haven't been disappointed yet.
 
hahah I guess I should word this better... I am wonder when then opened, like year. I will agree though Cosmic Rays is my personal fav for counter sevice in all of WDW... I am just wondering if this is new with in the last ten years or has been around longer
 

Um, I don't know the exact year, but it opened along with the re-designed Tomorrowland in the mid-90s. It's isn't very new, if that's what you want to know. :D
 
We typically eat here once during a trip. Above posters are right, the variety and temperature are both great and there are a lot of tables so even if it is busy then it's not a stupid table hunt. We noticed last year that the different counters didn't start serving at the same time and that the main doors seemed to open a little while before that. Don't know if this is still the case.

I also noticed that generally around WDW there's a trend towards slightly healthier food. I'm not saying the burgers and chips have gone, but there seem more alternatives these days.
 
I know I ate at Cosmic Rays on a field trip to WDW in middle school so its at least 11 years old.

I think Cosmic Rays is o.k... my bf likes to sit near that singing animatronic alien :rotfl2: and I think its kind of annoying. I like more of a quiet setting. I like CHH or Pecos Bills at the MK.

LOL... I guess I should have read your post better (opens/opened) :) LOL


Cosmic Rays offically opened on Decmeber 9, 1994. Prior to that it was the original location of the Tomorrowland Terrace.
 
Thank you all very much... I was just thinking about because I was listening to Sonny Eclipse's spiel on Mouseworld Radio a little while ago and got curious. Thanks again
