Funniest Storys From 50's Primetime Cafe

[dispros]

Our waiter made my brother and my nephew stand up and do "I'm a little Tea Pot" in front of the whole restaurant. I think it's because they didn't eat their veggies. So fun!

A few years ago I had my cell phone on the table and it rang. I answered it and was having a conversation with my friend. The "cousin", Janice, told me I couldn't talk on the phone at the dinner table. Of course, I continued to talk and before I knew it, she took my cell phone out of my hands and started talking to my friend about how I couldn't talk while I was eating. She even asked my friend her name. Then another "cousin" came and also started talking to my friend. They made an announcement about talking on cell phones. My friend was so confused. My DH, DS & DD all had a good laugh and I have never laughed so hard before. I go back to WDW every year and always ask for her and she remembers us.

Another time we had a different "cousin". There was a family of 6 at one table and us 4 at our table. The "cousin" decided that one of the girls at the other table looked miserable so he put the girl at our table and put my DS at their table.

We have had the airplane and elbows thing many times as well as other things

One stand out was at the table next to us on time. This young girl about 12 of 13 was being a brat. Her family told the waiter this. He told her to straighten up and have fun. She didn't. So the waiter tipped her back in the chair and dragged her around the room telling everyone that this girl was being grumpy at Wdw and causing her family not to have a good time. We all laughed so hard, except the girl.

My son took the tomatoes off of his sandwich. When it was time for dessert the waitress brought out a plate with his tomoatoes and covered them with whipped cream. Here you go, you didn't finish your dinner.

Two trips ago, DH got in trouble for not eating his green beans. After a good scolding, our cousin gave him another chance to finish them before we got dessert. When she got back he was on the phone. She yelled at him for talking at the table and "ignoring his date!" and made him stand up, apologize to me, and then had everyone say "shame, shame"!
When she brought out dessert, mine was fine but his had "somehow" turned in to a giant pile of green beans with whipped cream and a cherry. Best picture of the whole trip!!!

We were there last summer. This was our 10th trip and the 2nd time I had booked it for an ADR. The first time it was just me and my wife and they kind of left us alone.

This second visit I was the one getting the feather tickling gag. It was pretty funny. It was me my wife and my nephew. Towards the end of our lunch the waiter (looked like a Dad type with grayish hair and brown rimmed eyeglasses) came by and talked with us. He asked my nephew if he needed anything else and he replied "Nah, I'm good". The waiter came back with "well, I don't know about that" as he was walking off. It was very funny. Mostly because my nephew looked at me with a 'what did he say?' expression. But the waiter's timing was great.

We laughed about that one the rest of the day.

My husband forgot to substitute a vegetable he likes for his greens (collard??). The waitress took his plate and brought back this

and said "Momma said since you didn't eat your greens for dinner, you could just have them for dessert."


The next year, my husband forgot AGAIN to ask for an alternant veggie. So he scooped his greens into his napkin and sat them in his lap. The waitress brought his milkshake still in the metal container and also brought him a glass. She told him to be careful when he poured it into the glass, otherwise it would end up in his lap just like his greens.

I guess I am just like my grandmother because it bothers me that they are wasting food by putting whipped cream on it knowing no one will eat it

A few years back I got in trouble for playing with my phone at the table and our cousin said "naughty, naughty pa pa" and my kids thought that was hilarious that I got in trouble and they still to this day say naughty naughty if anyone looks at a phone at the diner table. I also got in trouble for elbows and not eating my greens.

Not a funny story but the first time we went I ordered my food and it was so hot outside and I had started to dehydrate. The smell of the yeast in the rolls was making me sicker and sicker. The waitress came over to the table in character and then we told her I was sick and she flipped to normal mode grabbed another person and they walked me through the kitchen out the back door across the alley to the first aid back door. Let me tell you that is one shiny clean kitchen.

We went here on our first trip. DD was 6 and also along for the fun was my niece, 4 and MIL. This was back in the day when the DDP included apps and dessert. I was saving room to have a taste of dessert, so I didn't finish my entree. Our "cousin" kept telling me no desert unless I cleaned my plate. He is really playing it up, and giving me a hard time. DD and DN of course find it funny that I'm getting a talking to until.... When he came to take our dessert order, he told me I couldn't have any because I hadn't cleaned my plate. Well my DD, who is pretty serious about dessert, burst into tears. "Why can't mommy have dessert?" she says through sobs. Well this got the niece going as well. (she was probably afraid she wasn't getting any either) The poor guy felt horrible. He tells my DD that I would get dessert, and my MIL and I are trying to tell the girls he was just playing around. They calmed down, but you could tell they were not happy with him even when he brought the dessert. It was so funny!

Sounds wonderful 95 maybe though...? MGM wasn't there in 85.

Three stories come to mind.

The first year, I went at lunchtime and there was only space at the bar. I should preface by saying I grew up in the sixties and was told not to miss Primetime. I started to tear up watching the old TV clips; especially Dick Van Dyke. When the bartender brought me my lunch, I burst into tears. A real fountain coke, a hot dog with grill marks and crinkle fries - it was just all too much.

Next year I took my mom. I love my chardonnay with dinner. When I asked for my first glass, "Granny" looked down her nose at me. Second glass, she said absolutely not. My mom was delighted.

Last story. Last year, we were a large group and had what appeared to be a new server. The guy at the table next to us must have been a long time server and was going for the big, big laughs. Finally our server warmed up a bit, at our urging and he gave us a great trivia question. We has a blast figuring it out and actually enjoyed the less over the top antics.

I went here when my mom and sister came to visit me once during my CP. My sister and I had bought princess crowns, Tiana for me and Cinderella for her. Well, we were wearing them during dinner and our server asked how my sister's crown would look on her because her name was Cindy. It fits, right? Somehow she also got her sunglasses, and she paraded around the whole restaraunt going "MAKE WAY FOR PRINCESS CINDY!"

On our last trip we took my In-Laws to 50s PT and of course had to set the table and got scolded for elbows.

My SIL was VERY nervous about having to eat her greens that she was trying to pawn them off on everyone. Well our cousin got wind of what was going on and tried to spoon feed her. Let's just say that she wouldn't open up the hanger and the greens ended up in her tea glass!

When I was younger, maybe 8 years old, I LOVED watching my mom get ragged about eating all of her food and my older brother had to go wash his hands. I felt like it was karma!

I can't wait to take my kids when they are older and will appreciate it.

I just remembered a a funny bit from our group. They tried the whole color of the soup thing with one of my friends, who just happens to be color blind. Oops. Our "cousin" looked a little taken aback at that.

Last year our server wasn't any fun, but at the table across from us apparently the woman didn't eat much of her food and when they brought dessert out for the family, her meal came back out (with a huge flourish I might add) all stuffed into a sundae glass complete with whipped cream and a cherry. The server brought it to the attention of the entire room and we all had a good chuckle over that!

The best time was when I was about 13 years old in the year 1999. It was me, my friend and her sister and our parents. My friend's sister had big frizzy hair (before straighteners were real popular) Anyway the waiter wanted to see how many straws he could put in her hair....it was over 50! Then he asked where our husbands were and we told him that we didn't have any and he said he would be right back. A few minutes later he came back with 3 boys about our age and told them to have a seat and introduce themselves. They looked at him like he was crazy! We still laugh about this I don't know where the boys came from because they weren't in our section at all.

This is hilarious!

We were there Nov. 27th last year My husband, two grand daughter (10 YR AND 5 YR). I supposedly put my elbows on the table and was told about it then my grand daughter told on me and I was made to go around to the tables and tell everyone that I was a very bad person because I put my elbows on the table. Then our server marched me over to the corner where every server that walked passed me yelled that I was bad and everyone had to say shame shame and point their fingers.. It was really fun also when they were done with me (about 10 minutes) they went after this poor man who didn't eat his vegtables.
The show is well worth it!

I was reminiscing with my mom about 50's PT. She laughed when I told her some of the stories on here regarding the green beans. Thankfully, everyone in our party likes them.

Although, I'm wondering how it's going to go with DS10. He just aged out of the kid's DDP and I don't know if he is ready for the amount of food that comes with the adult meal. This is going to be very interesting to see how the server will interact
