One
of my family’s go to places to dine is Hollywood and Vine while at Hollywood
Studios. We love to eat lunch there with the Disney Junior Characters. Well,
Hollywood and Vine shares restrooms with 50’s Prime Time Café. We find
ourselves peeking over to that restaurant, and always claiming we will eat
there the next time. This last trip, that is exactly what we did. We tried it
for the first time, and LOVED it!
We
had advanced dining reservations, so once we checked in, we waited for just a
few minutes in this room. The kids enjoyed the couches and televisions.
When
our names were called, we heard “Morris kids, time for dinner!”
We then took a
walk back into Mama’s Kitchen. Be sure to ask for a table close to a
television, so your family can watch great shows from the 1950’s such as Dick
van Dyke, Dennis the Menace, Car 54, Mickey Mouse Club and many more.
All the wait staff refer to themselves as your
cousin, aunt or uncle. It is so much fun to play along! Our server was “Uncle Gary”, and I can not
say enough about how great he was. He got on my husband for not passing out the
silverware to me and my daughters, made sure we kept our elbows off the table,
read and explained the menu to my girls, and so on. Be sure to mind your
manners, because just like at mama’s table, you will get yourself in trouble if
you don’t!
For
all the mothers of young children, you understand why I took this next picture!
I am always impressed when we have Crayola crayons at the table to color with
versus the no name brand, barely colored wax that break when you pick them up!
When
our food arrived, we were quite excited! My husband ordered the Grilled Pork
Loin:
I
had A Sampling of Mom’s Favorite Recipes which includes fried chicken, pot
roast and meatloaf:
For
dessert, Cousin Gary brought us the viewfinder that shows you pictures of all
the sweet options to choose from. Man did this bring back memories of childhood!
We
chose the 50’ Boston Cream Parfait to share:
The
kids chose do it yourself ice cream sundae:
Overall,
the food was perfect, no complaints whatsoever. The service was great and we
all had a fun time. We will certainly plan to go back again on our next
trip.
