9/5/15 Update: Menu updated.
Location: Tomorrowland Terrace is located in Tomorrowland. This picture was taken from the entrance to the Plaza Restaurant on Main Street. It’s also accessible from a path across from Stitch’s Great Escape.
Food Type: Disney standard burgers, nuggets, hot dogs, and sandwiches.
Dining Plan: One quick service credit and several items count as snacks.
Menu:
Unique Items: None.
Advantages:
- Plenty of covered seating.
- Service is usually fast.
- This is a great place to take a break when Tomorrowland Terrace isn’t serving food because so many tables are available.
Disadvantages:
- It’s only open when crowds are extremely heavy.
- All unique entrees have been stripped in favor of standard items.
- If it’s raining, seats are more difficult to find due to all the people camping out.
Value: Below average. Nothing stands out here.
Reputation: Tomorrowland Terrace has a pretty low reputation, thanks in part to the fact that it’s rarely open and the fact that several of the items offered aren’t particularly good.
Food Choices:
Lobster Roll:
I don’t have a lobster roll frame of reference because as far as I can recall I’ve never had one before. Florida isn’t exactly known for its lobsters. This one was actually pretty good…I think. I doubt it would live up to your expectations if you were a lobster roll connoisseur from Maine, but it was better than I was expecting it to be. The roll was fresh and it seemed like there was a decent amount of lobster in it. Intrigued, I asked the cashier for the list of ingredients. You can ask the cashier for a list of ingredients for every item on the menu at any Disney quick service location and they’ll hand you a thick binder. Lo and behold, the number one ingredient was listed as “lobster meat,” so I guess we’ll have to take their word for it. I wasn’t too sure what was going on with the homemade chips. Some of the them were crunchy, others soft, some of them salty, others less so. Honestly, I wasn’t sure if this was intentional or not. The crunchy ones were better I thought.
Seating:
Tomorrowland Terrace offers plentiful seating, though it is all outdoors. The setting is mostly concrete and ferns.
Pretty comfortable seating.

Condiments:
Expect the usual.
I’ve been to Disney World 4 times and I don’t think I’ve ever seen Tomorrowland Terrace open. However, we always stop in there to use the restrooms and sit down – because it’s not open, it’s one of the few close-to-deserted areas and a great way to get out of the crowds for a breather.
