Hello there, Jennifer. I always love seeing a fellow North Carolinian stop by planDisney with a question. It always brings a smile to my face.
Hopefully, this will bring a smile to your face, Jennifer.
Cosmic Ray's Starlight Cafe in Magic Kingdom Park is open and serving Guests lunch and dinner at this time! It looks like the restaurant is open from about 10:30 a.m. each day until about 8:00 p.m. or 9:00 p.m. each day depending on what time the theme park closes each day. You can take a look at the
current hours here for the date you are planning on dining there.
I really enjoy eating at Cosmic Ray's Starlight Cafe because it offers such a wide variety of foods. Currently,
on the menu, you can find options like burgers, hot dogs, chicken, salads, and even some plant-based offerings. It's really a great spot for the whole family. Right now, for the 50th-anniversary celebration, they are offering the 1971 meal. The 1971 meal features a barbecue chicken sandwich topped with sale slaw and served with Walt's chili & cheese fries (which were one of his favorites), a fountain beverage and a 50th anniversary themed cake pop. It sounds delicious! I've had some of Walt's chili that various restaurants are serving up right now and as a chili lover myself, I've been thoroughly impressed! Right now, at Cosmic Ray's Starlight Cafe you can also find the 50th Celebration Minnie Premium Sipper and if you haven't seen it yet - it's so cute! As an avid souvenir cup collector, I can't wait to add it to my set!
I hope this helps, Jennifer. If you have any other questions as you plan your upcoming Walt Disney World vacation, please feel free to stop back by and
ask me. I'm here to help.
Have fun and enjoy!
