After some time get acquainted with our fabulous THV it was time to leave for DHS. We were so excited to meet up with Jenna and the fam. We had ADRs for 50's PrimeTime and my mouth was watering for a Dad's Electric Lemonade. It had been almost 2 years since we'd seen our friends and like I've said, there's just something extra special when our families do Disney together.
While the kids had some down time, I hadn't so please excuse the Louis Vuitton luggage under my eyes. This girl needed some sleep. It was also EMH for DHS that night. Bonus!
We were on our way. Again, I have no issues with the transportation system when at WDW. I think it's a huge perk. Not having to drive makes me hap hap happy. Maybe it's because I drive all week?
We got there in no time. Got a call from our friends and who did we see before entering the DHS? Our buddies! Do I have a group shot? Nope. We were all too busy hugging to take a photo. I did get my TiW card at Guest Services right outside of DHS. $100 well spent.
We chatted and headed to 50's. We had never been there and I had read nothing but great things. It did not disappoint. It was bar none the BEST service we've ever had at Disney and as a former server and bartender, that's saying a lot. We checked in our party of 11 and headed to an already packed waiting/bar area.
First up Dad's Lemonade:
Even with an ADR we had a good 20 minute wait but that's okay because there was lots of catching up to do. 50's is adorable in terms of theme. From the old Avon type candy holders to the vinyl furniture, I really felt like I was at my grandma's old house on South Street in Long Beach, CA. Now its gangville but then, it was charming.
We were seated. We were stoked. Spirits were running high:
A goofy panoramic group shot:
So before I post more pics, I have to ask if ANYONE if they can read the servers name to please let me know. I need to write a letter to Disney and give this guy major props. He was unreal. Schtick without being offensive, attentive without bugging. Funny as hell too. At one point during the meal Gabby was texting, he grabbed her phone, and dialed the boy she was texting. Yes, he did. He was from the middle east and had a decent accent which made it more funny because he called the boy on Gabby's phone, Mason, and told him that he was Gabby's dad, and laid into him. It was the funniest thing ever. Like tears streaming down our faces funny. He nailed us and our humor. Called me high maintenance, called Michael *Poppy* which is so funny because I call him Poppy (insert a sexy Selma Hayak accent when I do this), he made Jenna put her nose to the wall, he was in cahoots with Joshua who narced us all off for bad behavior, he teased the girls endlessly, he made Jenna's boys wash their hands and tell him what color the bathroom soap was, made the kids serve other tables, went outside and peered at us through the blinds, made an uber long straw and poked me with it from the table behind us, and he made the girls carry their dirty dishes to the kitchen (sexist). HILARIOUS! He somehow knew that Jenna et al were from PA so right when we were seated he sang the word Pennsylvania to the tune of the opening song in the Lion King. He said they were from Jersey or PA. I'm going to post all of the pics. Its easy to tell whats going on.
If you knew Jon (above), you'd know how funny him serving complete strangers is!

Calling and speaking with Mason:
Chloe guarding her phone:
And away they go with dirty dishes:
This photo has his name.

But I still can't make it out. Anyone?
I'll be back with the rest of the evening but I cannot tell you what total magic this was. One of the trip highlights and like I said, the best service ever. In between shenanigans, our drinks remained full and our food was served hot. But because of all of the fun, I missed getting food shots. The pot roast and fried chicken were delicious. Boys said the beer was cold.
