Pecos Bills was so loud this past trip! It is a good place to eat when you can sit outside, but it just ended up hurting my ears this time around :( Oh yeah, you have named two of my favorite restaurants for sure :D
Did you find the room with the tiled staircase, flowers, etc? :goofy_bounce: :hatter_bounce: :D

We ate at Pecos Bills for the first time when we went this time back in October. It was very good! I had a wonderful taco salad! :)

Well, we were in some sort of outdoorsy looking room the last night we ate there. Not sure if it had a staircase or not. It was pretty crowded so I didn't look around much. We were busy trying to get the ECV through without running over anything :shock: That was a little quieter than being in the wooden rooms, but not much. I wore my earplugs for dinner :roll: :lol:

Yup, as you are walking from the ordering area, the restrooms are on the left and then the room we were in was just past the restrooms on the left. Those are awesome restrooms ~ I don't think a lot of people know they are there! Is that the area you were talking about?

:?: Not sure if the dressing bar used to be in that room or not. The dressing bar is in the same room as the counter service order taking place. If you walked in off the Frontierland streets and straight back, you would end up in this part of the dining room. Or, if you hooked a left out of the dining room, you would end up exiting into the street that takes you to Adventureland.

I've always loved "Cosmic Ray's Starlight Café" because of all of the healthier options :]

Actually a lot of the counter service places have the healthier options now....but Cosmic Ray's definitely has a nice variety of options!

Definitely worth a stop ~ but plan on eating before or after the meal rush so you can actually get a table in by Cosmic Ray!
