Do the cars only seat 4 people? are there bigger ones that seat 6?
cant imagine 6 of us in that car you were in.

Can't wait to hear about American Idol & FF!!! Juliana looked very tired, poor baby.

I'm glad to hear somebody else likes the Sci-Fi. We have eaten several times and have always enjoyed it. Like you say, the food is not super spectacular but the atmosphere of the restaurant makes this a great place to eat.

Poor Juliana, she looks really tired.

Looking forward to seeing more pictures of the CSR.

Glad you enjoyed Sci Fi! We'll have to try it again next visit and hope for a better server.

Question: on the DDP it's a CS. Did you use the DDP? IF so, you got ALL that for 1 CS? Wow!

We have lunch ressies for SciFi and we can't wait!!

Never mind. Just looked and it's NOT on the DDP. I didn't know that, ouch. Guess that one will be OOP!

Sci Fi is a TS not a cs !!

Alan I agree with you !!The first time I ordered the shrimp pasta and it was not too good but the others ordered steak and it was good !! I also ordered the apple dessert and it was also not good but the others had sundaes sooo I learnt to stick to simple !! This time I ordered a hamburger and it wasw delish !!! However both times the cookies and cream milkshake was to die for !! The atmosphere is soo great !!! I love the place I am trying to fir it in for Sept somehow !!

Sci Fi looks yummy! I think you've got it down though, don't order anything too fancy there and you will be fine. I think I could make a meal out of some onions rings and a yummy shake! I ate there in 2005 and we sat at one of the picnic tables, not the car, it was a neat place. It was so quiet with everyone watching the screen. It was a nice break.

Yeah, if we had not been on the dining plan, I would have just ordered the onion rings and a shake. (However, those ribs and ESPECIALLY that cheesecake were really good!) Sci-Fi does make a nice mid-day break.

I love SciFi too and how cute you got a 4 seater car, so sweet

We were loving the four-seater!

glad you enjoyed lunch!! We ate there last summer and also had a great experience--like you said, not gormet fare, but good food, great surrroundings

Yep. I would definitely go there again. It is one of those unique places that you will only find at Disney. Therefore, it becomes part of the Disney experience.

Do the cars only seat 4 people? are there bigger ones that seat 6?
cant imagine 6 of us in that car you were in.

There are some bigger ones that seat 6, if I remember correctly.

Can't wait to hear about American Idol & FF!!! Juliana looked very tired, poor baby.

Juliana was really tired. Also, she started getting a little bit of a tummy ache. (Plus, she's a bit of a drama queen...so you have to take that into account!) By the afternoon, she was just fine.

I think Juliana had gotten a little hot and tired. Plus, she was complaining of a stomach ache. It miraculously got better after we got back to the resort, however.

Glad you enjoyed Sci Fi! We'll have to try it again next visit and hope for a better server.

No doubt - the server can MAKE or BREAK this place. Fortunately, we had a cool server who was attentative and fun.

It's actually a TS, if I'm not mistaken. If you are on the Deluxe Dining Plan, you get appetizer, entree, and dessert. On the regular dining plan, you only get the entree and dessert - no appetizer.

Sci-Fi is on the DDP and it takes 1 credit. The only difference is that they are on the DELUXE DDP and got to get the appetizer as well.

No OOP for you soulmates, it's included .

 

[2xcited2sleep]

Thanks for the review! I'm just working on ADR plans for Sept and I think I'm going to have to find a way to work Sci Fi into the plans!

Keep 'em coming Team Renfroe!

 

[inkedupmomma]

Hmm.. now I am 2nd guessing myself for not going here..but I think we will save it for next trip! I did love it it in there when we went in 2005, but did not LOVE the food, so I suppose we can wait one more year! Although that cheesecake looks fantabulous!! Your poor DD did not look like she wanted to be in any pics twds the end there

 

[nettii]

Love the pics of Sci Fi we Love Sci Fi, the food is good, atmosphere is great! Thnks for sharing you have a beautiful family! looking forward to the rest!

 

[wlwilliams9]

I'm in!! You've gotten off to a great start! We loved Sci-Fi for lunch too. I think it gets a bad rep here on the DIS!

Keep it coming, I can't wait to read more!!

 

[bwmmfan]

I don't know how you eat all that food.!!!! We had the DDP and still thought it was a lot of food. Even with all the walking we still gained a few pounds. We thought Sci Fi was cute oddly quiet, but not one of our favs. Still don't have a favorite reseraunt at DHS. I'll keep reading your resteraunt reviews to try a new place to eat

 

[karajeboo]

You are soooo right about Sci Fi - not the greatest food, but combined with the atmosphere it is a perfect lunch spot. Don't know if I'd want to waste a TS credit for dinner, but lovedit for an out of pocked lunch.....

Now I'm REALLY looking forward to your FF review - that is our all time favorite in all of WDW!!!!

 

[englishrose47]

Morning Alan!!!

 

[podsnel]

Ok, we really need to give Sci Fi another shot. When we went it wasn't so much the food that turned us off- it was ok, nothing great, but we were in there for the atmosphere- but we didn't get a car. We got a table. Mediocre food at a table where everyone else is sitting in a car you'd like to be sitting in makes mediocre just no good at all. I think Cammie or Kara said they didn't see any tables on their last visit- did they take them out?

By the way, I wanted to tell you- love your shirt, Alan!!

 

[englishrose47]

Hi Ellen!!!

 

[brookelizabeth]

Glad to hear you had a great meal at Sci Fi! DH and I ate here back in '06 and thought the atmosphere was really fun, I would love to go back and get a burger/shake/fries since everyone says their burgers are awesome. Maybe I can squeeze in a free dining trip...

 

[portocall]

Woo Hoo... another Team Renfroe report!!!! Loved the Sci-Fi review since we plan on trying that one out! Can't wait to read more... hope you and your family had fun!
