Earlier this month, pump dispensers for various sauces like ketchup and mustard returned to the Topping Bar at Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe in Magic Kingdom. Today, October 24, we noticed that the dispensers had also returned to the Condiments Bar — meaning sauce packets are no longer offered at the quick service restaurant.

In our previous update, the sections of the Condiments Bar that now hold pumps were previously occupied by single-use sauce packets.

Cutlery and napkins are still available at this station.

However, at the center are now sauce cups and five different sauce pump dispensers.

The sauces included here are mustard, ketchup, ranch, an unlabeled sauce that is most likely barbecue, and mayonnaise.

The left side of the Condiments Bar still offers single-use creamers, sugar packets, salt, and pepper.

This and the previous return of pump dispensers mark the first time that these offerings have been available at Cosmic Ray’s since 2020, when they were removed and replaced with single-use packets as a COVID-19 precaution.

Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe opened at Magic Kingdom in 1994 as part of a larger Tomorrowland overhaul. The popular dining location offers a wide range of items, with its menu including the Triple-B Burger, Grilled Chicken Sandwich, and the Chopped Vegetable and Crispy Noodle Salad, among several other offerings.

The restaurant also has an extensive allergy-friendly item, offering individual wheat, egg, fish/shellfish, milk, peanut/tree nut, sesame, and soy allergy-friendly versions of nearly all of their dishes. The restaurant also has one plant-based item — the Patty Melt, which contains an Impossible™ Burger patty.

Sonny Eclipse has a residency gig at Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe. The audio-animatronic Zorkie debuted in 1995 and soothes guests with jazz music played on his astro-organ. His approximately 26-minute set plays throughout the day and consists of eight songs written by George Wilkins and Kevin Rafferty, including “My Name is Sonny Eclipse,” “Hello Space Angels,” and “Yew Nork, Yew Nork.”

Are you glad to see this guest courtesy return to the restaurant? Or do you prefer using single-serving sauce packets? Let us know what you think in the comments.
