Disney4me Posted April 3 Report Share Posted April 3 If you are planning your next Disney World vacation, you could be thinking about which restaurants you want to dine at, but there’s a popular one you might want to skip. Cinderella Castle Over at Disney’s Magic Kingdom, you can find plenty of food options, from snacks to quick service and table service restaurants. There is one quick service restaurant that we can usually find packed, but to be honest, it’s a BIG skip for me. I’m going to tell you why you should skip it as well and where else to eat instead. Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe is a quick-service restaurant located just beyond the castle, heading between Fantasyland and Tomorrowland. They serve burgers, chicken strips, salads, and similar items. I feel like it’s the most commonly eaten at restaurants due to its location, and it offers the basics that can please everyone in your group. But, I have a real problem with eating here… Cosmic Ray’s First, the food is mediocre at best, with the quality of the items being average. The fries are often tasteless to me, and it gives me high school cafeteria vibes. We recently picked up the Flame-broiled 1/3 lb Angus Burger topped with bacon, American cheese, and Sonny Eclipse signature sauce on a brioche bun, served with French fries for $13.99. We found it to be just ok and your standard theme park burger. We KNOW that there are more delicious options found at this park, but we’ll get there! Flame-broiled 1/3 lb Angus Burger Next, it is crowded here, especially during peak meal times. While this restaurant offers TONS of seating indoor and outdoor, it’s still not enough during busy times of the year. I have witnessed guests eating on the floor around the Christmas season. It is also pretty noisy in here due to the number of people and the large open rooms. If you need a break from the crowds, this is not the place to escape to. Cosmic Ray’s Seating Alright — I know this is controversial — It is still not worth eating here to see Sony Eclipse. Sonny Eclipse is an animatronic vocalist who performs throughout the day at Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe. I’ve been coming to Disney World since I was little, and he is one of my favorite memories as a kid. However, it’s still not enough for me to sit and have a meal here. When I find myself missing Sonny, I just do a quick walk-through to say hello and then off I go. Sonny Eclipse So, where is a better option for all of these issues? Columbia Harbour House. This nautically themed counter service restaurant is something that is not talked about enough. You can find lobster rolls, shrimp, salmon, and salads here that are usually delicious. It has a lot of indoor seating that is broken up allowing for more space and lower noise levels. It is convenient to get to in Liberty Square, and it has Mobile Ordering. If you haven’t been here before, check it out on your next trip! Columbia Harbour House With DOZENS of places to eat at Disney World, we know it can be tough to plan your meals.
