Ah...Cosmic Ray's...I think back fondly to the days where each of the food court style "Bays" where you placed your order had different types of cuisine to choose from. It's much simplified now with each Bay offering the same typical American theme park food - hot dogs, hamburgers, chicken strips, and those delicious Disney French fries. Nothing stellar about the food, and picky eaters will be happy, but what gives this restaurant a bit of an edge is the legendary Sonny Eclipse animatronic who serenades you while you dine. If you are an old school Disney or animatronic fan, definitely hit this place up for some chili-cheese-fries and one of Sonny's sets. Great way to cool off!
Pros:
SONNY ECLIPSE! Picky eater haven. Lots of seating with air conditioning.Cons:
Unremarkable menu, quality is cafeteria style (which honestly, is totally fine).Reviewed by AndPeggy Review Date: 09/28/2021

The food is nothing extraordinary, but if you're looking for an entertaining meal, and you're in Tomorrowland, this is the place to go. I enjoy their fries, but otherwise, this is just your typical quick service restaurant.
Pros:
Cool animatronic of Cosmic Ray and Good friesCons:

Out of all the quick service american cuisine places in WDW this is one of the ones I don't mind going to. The food is ok and it has indoor seating to escape the weather.
The best part? Sonny Eclipse of course! I don't mind eating here when I'm looking for something quick in the Magic Kingdom.

I adore Sunny Eclipse, but the food is pretty average. It is classic theme park food. It is worth it those to get some fries and a classic cheeseburger and listen to the sweet sweet sounds of Sunny Eclipse.
Pros:
Sunny Eclipse! Literally fast food and indoor seating.Cons:
Mediocre food, Loud, BusyReviewed by NoWindowsNoDoors Review Date: 12/09/2020

Sonny Eclipse is awesome & a classic! Sometimes the specialty items here are pretty good but the regular menu is pretty basic. But if nothing on the menu sparks your interest, just grab a Cheshire cat tail & bring it in so you can sit & listen to Sonny Eclipse.
Pros:
Sonny Eclipse, speciality itemsCons:

I make no secret that tho is never my first choice to eat at Mk but my mom likes it. We visited for lunch on the wed after Columbus day. We were 4 adults and ds11. I got the chicken sandwich, Ds and dh got pulled pork sandwiches...found a bone and parents got burgers. We were literally told where to sit which was nice in a way however the split us up even though they knew we were 5. Fortunately the woman next to my parents left and we sat there. It was hard to navigate through crowds and there was a monitor at the bathroom hall which was a little much, I am not in elementary school and need permission to use the bathroom. I don't. Need to go back food is average park food better choices that are less crowded and not so controlling .
Pros:
we were seatedCons:

Visited end of September 2014.
Issue #1. The dining room has some animatronic alien DJ and it was SO LOUD.
Issue #2... you have to go through 3 different lines to get the types of food. Family of 7 here, so of course had to go through all three lines to get something for everyone.
Most of the food was ok, not outstanding but not bad. The hotdog tasted very odd, not rotten, just odd.
The one thing I did like is that you can use the topping bar and get a lot of sides.
