50's Prime Cafe, Sci Fi or Hollywood & Vine during Halloween season?

[ilanakan]

Planning a day at HS, for myself, DH and 13 yo DD. Wondering your thoughts which of these to choose - 50's Prime, Scifi Hollywood & Vine during the Halloween season?
We have been to the 50's Prime, love the PB&J milkshake, but that's about it. Haven't been yet to the other two. What would you do?

Sci-Fi

@ilanakan - FYI, moved your thread to the Restaurants board - the nice folks here should be able to provide some input.

Sci Fi would probably be more fun for a 13 year old, with the old retro horror movie clips, etc. Minnie's Halloween dine was fun for us our last trip with a 2.5 year old and 6 year old. I was prepared for terrible food, but the salad bar, shrimp and crab claws were really good. Sci Fi has an appetizer sampler I really like.

Thanks & sorry.

Thanks & sorry.

No need to apologize, the DIS is a big place!

I'd chime in to answer your question myself but perhaps oddly, other than H&V character breakfast, I haven't been to any of these restaurants!

Sci-Fi food is meh, at best; terrible seating environment as one of you will be sitting alone in front or behind the other 2. I actually like 50's but I always end up having to wait at least 45 mins afetr my rez time. At H&V the food is decent but at least you get Characters dressed in special outfits each Quarter - not sure if they are Halloween themed or just Fall.

Sci-Fi would be the best option.

Sci Fi would be best but with a party of 3, someone will likely have to sit by themselves in the car.

We've done both Sci Fi and H&V. The characters at H&V lunch & dinner are really cool in their Halloween costumes, but we found the buffet food to be so-so and not really worth the price (it was the ONE dining experience I regretted not canceling, didn't feel like I got my money;s worth). Sci-Fi doesn't have any character interaction, the food is pretty good (not fine dining but we all enjoyed our meals and the milkshakes are great!) and it's just a cool theming for a restaurant. Some people find the car benches and the seating arrangements uncomfortable, but we liked it a lot.

The Sci-Fi is my favorite restaurant to eat at. As to the seating most kids love being apart a bit from the parents. I live the food and atmosphere although I do call it a 1st Rate CS impersonating a TS. I let my girls decide everyplace we eat with one rule. I get a meal at Sci-Fi. You should love it.

I'm no help here at all... We have to do both 50's and Sci-Fi each trip. Both of my favorites!

My kids love Sci Fi! I love the dark and “peace and quiet” for an hour.

 

[Mr & Mrs DD]

The Sci-Fi has a unique & fun atmosphere. We enjoy going there for that reason, but we always find the food to be very average.
We really like the food at 50's Prime Time.
