[1] [2] [3] Tomorrowland Terrace opened as (and remains) a counter-service fast food location—serving American fare like hamburgers, hot dogs, and french fries.

[3] The restaurant is also a live entertainment location and features an outdoor dining area anchored by a stage and terrazzo floor.

Only the roof of the stage is fully visible when it is in the down position—at first topped with a mid-century futuristic sculpture designed by Disney Imagineer Rolly Crump.

[1] According to Disneyland Entertainment talent booker Sonny Anderson, the idea for an elevated stage came from Walt Disney himself.

During the 1960s, live bands began to play more frequently at Disneyland, and Disney found the makeshift stages in Tomorrowland to be particularly inadequate.

[4] Over its first three decades, the Tomorrowland Terrace Stage was used as a focal point for live entertainment during the busy months at Disneyland, as well as special events like Grad Nites.

The duo Aly and AJ performed in 2005 during Disney's 50th Anniversary Happiest Homecoming on Earth Celebration at the Tomorrowland Terrace and Mitchel Musso played the stage in 2009.

[1] [4] Beginning in the 1990s, the stage's roof sculpture was redone three times to match with current park promotions as well as the changing design aesthetic of Tomorrowland itself.

The sculpture harkened back to the Rolly Crump version, with large bowl-shaped planters and white spires.

[2] Like California, the restaurant also featured an elevated stage, which descended into the network of utilidors located underneath the park.

The Tomorrowland Terrace Stage hosted many live performances and events for two decades—including acts like Michael Iceberg, Hank Williams Jr., and The Police.
