50's Prime Time Cafe

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.
