Sci-Fi Dine In

[DanBTheMan]

My family of 4 were looking to get a reservation at Sci-Fi for lunch on December 4th, but no luck.

Should I hold out hope that something might come available before our visit or should I plan on a back-up?

Any chance Woody’s Round Up BBQ might open up before then?

We’ve had luck with a walk up. It might be at the saucer table in the back.

Try one of the dining alert sites - I am joining friends for a trip in November that had an existing reservation for 2. I was able to snag another reservation around the same time - we may not be seated together (I will ask at check-in), but at least I know we can all dine around the same time. If you don't mind doing a table of 2 and 2, you may have a better chance.

On our July trip it came available the night before on some days. I was able to get it only a few weeks out for my Sept trip, then again for my upcoming trip next week. The other day I decided I didn't want to keep it so I cancelled it to look for 50's Prime. What I found was multiple Sci Fi available for almost every day of our trip. Keep trying up to the last minute, I've been very surprised at the popular places becoming available last minute.

Yep--- we use this method so many times--- got us Space 220, Sci-Fi, others--- I would check every nite at around 11:50PM from the hotel- ppl try to avoid any possible cancellation penalty and cancel late---

We love that place. Keep trying and definitely see what happens with a walk up.

Any recent reviews on the Sci-Fi Restaurant? I have a reservation for Dec 15 for two. Have they opened up for Hitchhikers? How is the new menu? Thanks

Yes, they have been seating hitchhikers for quite awhile now. We ate there in May & September. My DH always gets the burger, he said it was as good as usual. In May I had a pasta dish with salmon. I was surprised how good it was. I liked it so much, I had it again in September.

As suggested by pp keep checking as sometimes reservations pop-up the day before as the cancellation window approaches.. And as a last resort, once at the park never hesitate to walk-up and ask if they are accepting same-day reservations or walk-ins..

Keep checking as they do become available. Especially 1 week to the day of.
Also, consider setting up a reservation finder at Touring plans. That has worked for us in the past.

I have been trying since 60 days for Jan 1 but so far no openings. I am hopeful something will pop up since it's my girls' favorite! Otherwise I have a reservation at Prime Time as a back up.
