The veggie burger is delicious! The kids love the Hot dogs and burgers! The fixing Bar is amazing !! Out door seating has views of the castle And indoor seating has great entertaining :) The bays can be confusing but work

"Crowded But Worth It" 12 years ago by MacMom2

I am definitely going to give this one a 9 as it is a quick service restaurant and still managed to be one of our favorite places to eat. In fact, we ate there twice on our week long visit. While it is just a quick service restaurant it is really set apart from the others. There is an animatronic character called "Sonny Eclipse" who sings and plays piano in the main dining hall that tends to keep the kids entertained. The place is noisy but if you have kids this is a relief to you because you feel a little more free to let them be themselves. Another thing, make sure to check each of the ordering windows as each section sells different types of food many of which are not offered at other quick service restaurants (at least that we could find). For example, on the chicken side the actually sold 1/2 rotisserie chicken with potatoes! My husband said it was great! TIP: Plan to eat lunch aroun 1 or 2 to avoid the crowd or have one person in your party search for a table while the others grab food. The only downfall is the crowd.

As far as quick service locations go, this one is pretty good.
I would recommend it for a quick, filling meal.

"CROWDED! " 14 years ago by Mickeygirlie

This is the biggest & busiest fast food place on property. Be prepared to wait in line. The food & service is decent but can get loud & I hate waiting :)

Sonny Eclipse at Cosmic Ray’s will not be performing Jan 12, 2009 to Jan 30, 2009
