==History==
The restaurant that is today known as Cosmic Ray's Starlight Cafe originally opened with the rest of the Magic Kingdom on October 1, 1971 as the Tomorrowland Terrace <ref> http://passport2dreams.blogspot.com/2010/10/shakedown-at-magic-kingdom.html </ref>.Sponsored by Coca-Cola, According to Disney training manuals, the Tomorrowland Terrace was the largest fast-food operation at Walt Disney World when it opened, and it featured a conveyor system capable of cooking 3,000 hamburgers an hour <ref> http://kingdomofmemories.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/Tomorrowland-Handbook.pdf </ref>. The focal point of the dining establishment was a stage that rose from below to reveal live entertainment. From 1976 <ref> http://savehorizons.tripod.com/aspenice.htm </ref> until the mid 1980s, the Tomorrowland Terrace was home to Michael Iceberg and the Iceberg Machine.

In 1994, the Tomorrowland Terrace was refurbished in order to tie in to the New Tomorrowland backstory. At this time, the restaurant was renamed Cosmic Ray's Starlight Cafe and given a new theme. Now the first Earth restaurant franchise from outer space <ref> http://themickeywiki.com/index.php?title=Sonny_Eclipse#mediaviewer/File:Sonnyposter.jpg </ref>, Cosmic Ray's is also home to alien lounge singer [[Sonny Eclipse]] who performs a 25 minute set in the Starlight Lounge Room <ref> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=paPZqnTJtow </ref>. Sonny Eclipse did not replace the rising stage, but actually sits on a second stage. If a live act is performing at Cosmic Ray's, Sonny's stage will actually rise into the ceiling to make way for the second stage <ref> http://www.endorexpress.net/database/employees/sonny-eclipse/ </ref>. Although the restaurant got new themeing, the menu and design stayed essentially the same.

Since being converted to Cosmic Ray's, the dining establishment has not seen any major changes.
