We are taking my 5 month old niece, sister, and BIL to Sci Fi Diner on Thanksgiving. We will be a party of 6. When my daughter was a baby Disney allowed us to bring her stroller into restaurants til she was old enough to sit in a high chair (it was at the cast members discretion back in 2013/14, and they always allowed it). I've been to SciFi a number of times and I know space is too limited to do that, especially on Thanksgiving. Do they have high chairs for infants that can't sit up yet or are we going to be holding a baby all through dinner? :)
 
They have highchairs, but you won't be able to place a highchair at the traditional car tables. You can only use them at tables with sliding chairs. This is the only reason we haven't been for the last few trips; we're waiting until we're out of the highchair stage to return again. Best wishes!

ETA: This is not my pic, but you'll be placed at one of these types of tables. (I don't think the rear picnic tables are large enough for a party of 6.) Not a total deal breaker, if you really want to go just to experience the atmosphere.

The above isn't completely accurate. We used a high chair at a traditional car table during a trip earlier this month. We were a party of six adults and a 2-year-old.
 
That's great to know! When I tried to book last year, I was told they wouldn't do that because high chairs block the aisles for servers.
 

SciFi did allow my niece in w/her stroller. One girl told us no and that my niece would have to use a highchair - she was completely perplexed when I explained that the kid was too young to do so and she asked if I was sure she couldn't sit in a high chair. Heh. :) Her manager overrode her. They actually sat us at a car.

The meal was a bit of a disaster though - my niece was terrified of the restaurant and our food wasn't that great. My three year old was in heaven though. She loved the movies, she loved the cars - she even loved the Costco quality chicken nuggets.
