I enjoyed all of the Sci-Fi pictures. I just love that place. You got some very clear, nice pictures in there! But now I want to go back. Now. And have one of those angus burgers for breakfast. Yeah, I once tried something else from there and was highly disappointed. I'll never get anything else but one of their burgers, a shake, and maybe Judy's onion rings! Yum!
Thanks! An angus burger for breakfast....okay, I could be talked into that.
Question: the picture in front of Sci-Fi, before you guys went in - did they remove the blue car that sits out front for photo ops or am I just not seeing it???
I don't remember seeing a blue car. I'm not sure if I framed the picture so it wasn't included or if it wasn't there. I hadn't ever eaten there before, so didn't know to look for one.
Can't wait for the next installment. I am too curious to know when a fastpass is not a fastpass.
Good! Check back later in the week.
Okay, not that I have a little more time, and I can keep my eyes open, I am ready to contribute some witty (or is that witless) responses.
Imagine that, hot and out of breath during those cool summer months when you visited!!!
I know it's hard to imagine, but try. If you still can't do it, go work with a paving crew for a few hours.
I always took Lauren as a fast learner!
I was kind of surprised that she made that mistake.
I've seen the same thing at 50's PT, and I bet there isn't a whole lot of difference in the odds...
Well, at least they weren't too surprised they got turned away. They asked like, "would it be at all possible....". But I saw at least two groups of people without ADRs in just the couple of minutes we waited.
Okay, two comments come to mind here. The first was "Like that has ever happened at WDW!" As I got ready to type that, another came to mind..... "Especially after that scary group from last summer's trip." (Notice how I kept it along the Sci-Fi movie theming
)
Okay, okay. You and I both know it's possible to be "stalked" at WDW!
They deserve extra onion rings next time for that one.
Wait a minute -- more for them means less for me! I'm not sure I like that.
I'm glad you pointed that out. I thought it was just one of those zany 50's style hood ornaments!
They were zany, weren't they!
Maybe both places need to play episodes of the shows, or parts of the movies instead. Then again, that might cause a lot of backlog in ADRs with people hanging out because the suspense is too great to get up and leave!
Yeah, I don't think that would help turnover.
Maybe one who isn't, uh.......Pampered?
Oh, nice!
Awesome pics on the Sci Fi update, Glenn! Do you remember what settings you were using on the camera?
I can look it up when I'm at home. I'll get back to you.
Aren't you glad you weren't the one who made the fastpass mistake?! If it were me, I don't think I'd have ran back to correct it. But teenagers have so much more energy!
Absolutely, I'm glad it wasn't me. (But I'm glad she went back!)
Darn, I didn't even think about it! I didn't know you were waiting for me to catch up Marvali - thanks! I'm lousy at these games, I guess you'll just have to play without me!
Aw, we wanted to give you a fighting chance.
I LOVED this update and review on Sci-Fi dine in! It usually gets not so good reviews. You're pictures were fantastic and I think we will try this restaurant next time we go!
We'll just stick to the burgers. It looks like that is the thing to order. I like that they have cars with 2 rows of seats and 3 rows of seats. I always thought we'd end up having to sit with other people since we are only a party of 3.
Thanks! You've learned well from this chapter and the ensuing chat!
Oh I totally feel for your daughter running for fastpasses TWICE in that heat!!! YIKES!!!
Thanks. You know what that heat was like!
Speaking of the heat....I found one of THE BEST places to cool off at DHS. The entrance/exit door of the gift shop at Star Tours. I had just ran to get fastpasses and had a huge headache due to the heat and then DH and DS wanted to ride ST. I was thinking that I may get motion sickness because of the way I already felt. I decided to soak up some A/C in the giftshop and just wait for them. Low and behold, I walked through that doorway and the A/C blows straight down on your head! I stood there (toward the side) the entire time until my headache was gone and my body temp was back to normal! A man saw me and looked at me weird until he passed under it and suddenly thought I was a genius! He even told me so.
I commented back by saying "best ride in the park, isn't it??" He laughed and then we stood there for the next 20-30 minutes laughing at everyone else passing by drenched in sweat.
I know the air "door" you're talking about, but have never stood there to soak up the coolness. (I'm sure there's a technical name for those things, I wonder what it is.) I'll keep that in mind for the future!
Hey Glenn! Great update. I know what that fast pass run feels like in Summer. To do it twice?
I don't think she was real happy about it, but took one for the team.
Sci Fi looks like a really cool place. I'm still on the fence about adding it in next time. Whenever that may be. There are so many places we haven't tried so it makes it tough to narrow the list down. But it is just so darn nifty looking in there, that somehow this place keeps hanging out in the "maybe" section.
That's kind of where I was...just wanted to try it, for something different. Now Judy's saying "we
have to go back there".
Oh and great photos by the way! Very tough to do in low light without the benefit of your friendly neighborhood tripod. I am duly impressed.
Thanks! I had fun clicking away.

Awww! As a fan of burgers and cheesy sci-fi movies I've always wanted to eat at this place, but I always get "outvoted"
Vote?! Somehow, the trip planner always gets his way.

Question: Did you use the flash for these pictures?
No. The only picture that used a flash was the one that the server took of all of us in our car.
Tribilín;37546999 said:
Also... another question... is it true that this place is very cold?
I'm trying to remember. I think it was a little cold....I think James was cold, but the rest of us were okay.

And on the subject of "The Meaning of Life", I really like this movie... very funny and philosophic at some points... but the sketch of the French restaurant is absolutely disgusting... I always skip it entirely when I watch the movie
We watched "The Blind Side" a couple of weeks ago and I had to fast-forward through the part at the very beginning where they show Joe Theismann getting his leg broken by Lawrence Taylor. I saw it enough times back when it actually happened -- I didn't need to see it in a movie too.
HI Glenn, I've been trying to find 20 minutes of straight time on this computer for like, all day, not happening. Hopefully, tomorrow, I'll not be thwarted in my attempts to interact with your super-duper post!! Night.
I know what you mean! When the kids have their own e-mail accounts and Facebook, it can be tough. "Talk" to you tomorrow.
Great review. We haven't been there since our first family trip in 2002. I didn't really care for my food but we loved the atmosphere. We really need to give it another go. I have 2 family members that love burgers and I could go for a good rueben. Of course those onion rings sound great along with the onion rings. I remember that hot dog clip from Grease during the drive-in scene.
Thank you! Sounds like you should try it again, and you can just tell 'em you don't need a menu -- you'll just place your order as you're seated!
I'm surprised that my wife didn't tell me that that hot dog clip was used in Grease. She loves that movie.
Waiting for you fast pass story.
I hope it lives up to the hype!
Yay, I love Sci Fi!
Okay, that literally caused me to LOL!
Maybe it's just been my luck, but I find anything other than burgers or Reubens to be iffy at Sci Fi...
Trophy Husband! Good to have you aboard.
