50s Prime Time Cafe vs Sci Fi Drive In?

[Patrick61]

Brought kids to both 2 years ago (10 and 8 at the time). They loved Sci Fi over '50s. So did their folks.

Sci-Fi food is great, too, but we don't like the car setup where you sit all facing the screen. Especially on vacation, we enjoy our family time together and Sci-Fi just feels like a separation.

Some consider this a BONUS....like myself! We're together on vacay 24/7. A little quiet time at SciFi is very much appreciated. Most kids are so well behaved at SciFi because of the movie clips keeping them occupied. Its wonderful.

As an adult I prefer Sci-Fi. That said I have some very nolstagic memories of 50's Prime Time when we would do massive extended family trips in the early 90's.

I like PT better but when my kids small they liked SF better....
I think food better at PT but uniqueness SF can't be beat
all in all pick SF

We have ressies at 50s prime time coming up and I don't think my girls ages 6, 10 and 12 will like the antics at all. Can I just mention this to my server so they don't have a bad experience? Do you think I should cancel? Can't get a sci fi ressie at this point.

My boys loved Prime Time when they were adolescents. The server made fun of their clothes, which was a riot. Nothing mean, my son wore one of those chains that looked like ball bearings, the server accused him of stealing mom's pearls. Then he asked about the punk band T-shirt and the baseball cap. The more we laughed, the more they amped it up, it was a highlight. I did notice that at tables with younger kids, the servers tended to joke with the adults more, which kids loved.

Sci Fi , on the other hand, I wasn't crazy about. The food wasn't great. When the kids were young, they sat in the front, and the server approached them first, offered them Oreo milkshakes. Of course they said yes, and we then had to tell the server not to bring the shakes. My kids were not at the age where a shake before dinner was an option. It something to watch for, because of the seating, the server approaching the kids to get their order.
Either one is fine, we thought the food at prime time was a lot better.
