News Cosmic Ray's expansion project

That's because they tweak AC instead.

Are the restrooms supposed to have AC? I'm sure I only noticed one or two where it was on this year. Shops and shows had lots of beautiful AC. Attractions, only a couple of them.

Clickbait Corless has pictures up. Looks like the seating area is now open.

Photo update as of Saturday, January 27, 2018. Now that the covered outdoor seating around the Cosmic Ray stage end of the building is completed.....since a couple of weeks ago a new construction fence has been installed all along the east side of the restaurant opposite the Tomorrowland Speedway. A cast member confirmed the existing outdoor seating area on the east will be covered. The restaurant remains open.

Which means...Expect another loooooooooooong refurbishment....

Now to add more kitchens and another serving bay to cope with the added demand (or just to cope with current demand)

If only there were another under-utilised facility nearby that could be taken out of mothballs...

That's one thing I simply don't get. Why isn't the "dining that shall remain nameless" open for lunch, then closed at dinner for the dreaded up-charge event? It seems like running another restaurant that generates revenue in an existing facility would be cheaper and more profitable than to simply add more seating to an over capacity location. Obviously, normal accounting doesn't apply once Pixie dust gets on the books.

Can you add "improve food quality" into there too? Cosmic Rays is one of the few places where I regret spending my money at.

And have to pay dozens more cast members?
They just don't have that kind of budget

They tried it as a noodle station and Boy what a flop that was....

Maybe since it was only open for three hours a year.

Maybe since it was only open for theee hours a year.

So we are talking about the Tomorrowland Terrace Noodle Station? I'm not sure I have ever seen that place open - ever.

Google has the hours as 11:00 to 3:30, only on Saturdays.

 

[Figment Newton]

Wow, looking at photos of it on google, this really would help any congestion at Cosmic Rays. Oh, Disney . . .

 

[wishiwere@wdw]

Too funny. I just commented on this yesterday because it was actually open lol. Not sure what the hours are but the menu is back to basics - angus burger, nuggets, pb&j, etc.

Not sure it has changed but last year they had it open but you can only order food at the restaurant if you were using the mobile ordering option on the My Disney Experience app. http://www.wdwinfo.com/news-stories...-exclusively-offer-mobile-ordering-to-guests/

It was opened the last year I worked there - 2005. I remember they let us try it out and I enjoyed what I had. But yes, they never kept it open long enough to make an impact.

I don't know if this counts as "open" in general terms, but the last time I ate there was in spring of 2006 during my high school's Grad Nite event.

@marni1971 Any chance of a retheme of the Terrace?

I’ve heard nothing. It’d be nice to have a choice again though. Pay homage to the long gone stage. And get lost in the massive bathrooms.

9pm last August. With friends there for first time. We were hungry.
Pretty busy night.
Walked from one closed Quick serve to another (Columbia Harbor, Pinocchio) around closed off areas due to fireworks ...finally reached Cosmic Ray’s and it’s mediocre food. Really bad for the company’s “flagship”.
