50's Prime Time Cafe

Will I need an ADR for this, we are going in a couple of days and listening to the DISunplugged and it sounds so fun!

It sounds like a lot of fun and since we aren't making ADR's, is possible to walk up and eat for dinner (obviously not at the dinner time, probably later)

We had lunch there with an ADR for noon and there was a line out to the door when we arrived (don't know if they were ADR or walk-up). As our meal went on, it just got more and more packed. When we left, the line was out the door quite a ways. I have no idea what dinner is like, but I would recommend an ADR.

I agree that you will probably need an ADR. Last time we were there we had an ADR. It was very crowded, with a line. I think they stay pretty busy.

From our experience ADR is needed ...... that place is always full

I went a few years ago (sept2005) and we walked up and got a table after a wait of 40 minutes. Our group was 10. Since you are going in just a few days, I think it'll be hard to get a table. You could always call the ADR# and see if they have anything available.
It is a lot of fun. The food isn't the greatest, but the atmosphere more than makes it worthwhile.

We really loved this place. We had a lunch time ADR and waited 30 mins for table. Our waiter wasn't that great (meaning, very animated like some can be), but there was a waitress at the next table over from us that was great and we got a kick out of her. They food was great (we love home cooking type stuff) and we loved the dessert menu - it comes on a viewmaster - lol.

We were there in March for ESPN weekend. We walked up to the podium for a late seating dinner (630-700ish). By the time we had ordered drinks in the lounge next door, our table was ready. I always think that if you eat at the off peak times, you will get seated.

We were there last week for a 1:25 ADR. We arrived early and they were making reservations for the walk-ups for 3:00. We waited about 15 mins for a table with our ADR.
More on our experience in my thread to follow...

Thats good to know since we usually eat dinner after 7pm

an ADR is necessary - and even with one, you'll have to wait sometimes
