Your funniest experience from 50's Prime Time Cafe

[disneyaggie]

OK -- so I went to the 50's PTC a few weeks ago for the first time. It was a hoot! Our waiter kept talking real loud and obnixious (in a funny way). I did not eat all my veggies so we he asked if I was finished I said, "Yes, I believe my tummy has shrunk". Without missing a beat he says in a voice loud enough to carry all the way to EPCOT, "Why? Did you have gastric bypass surgery"?

I know many of you have had funny experiences, so please, do share . . .

We were there two years ago and my MIL got in trouble for hiding her veggies under her napkin and had to stand against the wall and "hold" a sugar packet to the wall with her nose.

We ate here a few years ago when we took DS's girlfriend with us. She was very thirsty and downed her first glass of tea in no time at all. Our "big brother" refilled her glass and it did not take long for her to drink it either. He made a comment to her about being a camel. After the 3rd refill, every time he brought her more, the kids would pour her drink into their glasses while his back was turned. He finally brought her a pitcher of tea with a straw in it and set it in front of her. He told her she was a lot of trouble.

I had just finished my meal and decided to put on my lipstick to do just a touch up. Well, as I had just put some on, I look up and this "mom" comes across the room, walking slowly like some tiger getting ready to pounce. She never took her eyes off of me. I sheepishly said, "I guess I shouldn't be putting on lipstick at the table, huh"? With that she said, and with all seriousness, "If you do that again, you will not be able to go to the sockhop on Saturday". All I could say was, "yes ma'am", as I coyly slipped my lipstick back into my fanny pack. Dang, she was good!

My DD's boyfriend got in trouble with Aunt Jan by hiding his greenbeans. He was presented with a Greenbean Sundae for dessert complete with whipped topping and a cherry! My DM asked for a 2nd cup of coffee and Aunt Jan asked her if she was wearing her Depends....my DM cracked up!!!!

My friend kept getting me into trouble by tossing her veggies on my plate, which made me the target of the "Little Bunny Foo Foo".

So, I guess she had it coming when our viewmaster-thingie (dessert menu) was broken. Our "cousin" asked us what happened, and she immediately points to me and says, "she did it!" Well, he starts ripping into her about how "nobody likes a tattler" and sent her to stand by the wall. It was HILARIOUS! And I felt very vindicated!!!!!!!!

My son's girlfriend was with us last July and she is extremely shy. The waiter had warned everybody about elbows on the table and evidently he had set this up with the table behind us beforehand. He came back and she had her elbows on the table. All he did was point at her and the entire table behind us started saying some rhyme about elbows on the table. She was ssssooooo embarrassed she turned all shades of red. Then she finally started laughing after the initial mortification that she felt. It really was funny and kind of broke us all in for our 11 day vacation together since this was the first day.

I can't remember what my DH did wrong...elbows or not eating veggies...but

he had to get up and sing "you are my sunshine" to me in front of the whole room

and once my DH and I both got stickers saying we cleaned our plates. just call us piggy.

When I went with my family a few years back our waiter noticed that none of us totally finished our plates so he made the six of us feed each other across the table. It was funny because everyone around us was watching and laughing. I'll admit that if I was watching i'd be laughing pretty hard too.

My grandfather usually eats with his elbows on the table. The CM saw him do this and told the entire kitchen to say "shame, shame, shame."

The he wouldn't eat his vegetables. He got the airplane into the hangar bit.

Finally, he somehow managed to spill his chocolate milkshake all over the table. The CM asked "What are you, a troublemaker?" Without missing a beat, my grandfather said, "No. I'm the one who leaves the tip."

The look on the CM's face was classic. "Let me get some napkins for you, sir."

My grandfather enjoyed the ribbing, but he couldn't resist giving a little back.

This is one of our favorite family stories. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

I purposely didn't tell my kids what this restaurant was like prior to our visit there for the first time last May.

When we got there, my son was hot tired and cranky. He perked up when we were sitting in the waiting area. All the cool stuff going on, how can you be in a bad mood right?

Well we finally get seated, and the waitress starts going over the rules. Well my son politely listened to her, and once she was safely out our earshot, he looked at me with the most horrified expression and said "You took us to a restaurant with RULES??? In Disneyworld???"

It was priceless! Took me a while to get him to understand

My sister was laughing at one of the other tables that was getting yelled at by their waiter and the waiter made her get us and sing " Im a little tea pot" . After she was done she came to the table and did something else and the waiter made her go and sit with another family.

 

[disneyaggie]

These are hilarious! OK -- so does anyone have any pictures of these "punishments"? I would love to see someone standing in the corner.

We became friends with this extremely nice family that was sitting in the booth next to us. We all started playing off eachother when our "Cousin" kept comming back to the table. Well, I accidently spilled a noodle onto DW's pants. The guy at the next table told on me. She yelled at him for being a tattle-tale and made him stand by the wall and hold a sugar packet up with his nose. She than made me sing "I'm a little tea pot" in front of the whole restaurant.

We had a great time here in December! We were celebrating DH's 40th birthday so I knew we were in for a treat. Our 'sister' was great (sidenote - she was dh's real-life sister's twin - I mean this woman was the mirror image of my sister-in-law which added to the fun.) Dh always drinks a lot of diet coke. After the second one was gone our sister said, "Well, I guess I'll tell Mom to put the rubber sheets on the bed!" Dh didn't eat all of his veggies and mashed potatoes so he had the plane in the hangar thing. But, the best of all - our sister casually removed one person at a time from our kitchen (people who until now we had NEVER met) to sign the birthday card given to DH. She also timed it so everyone was ready for dessert at the same time so when DH's dessert came out everyone sang happy birthday and gave him the card. It was GREAT!

We are bringing my parents to celebrate their 60th birthdays in November. Mom will actually turn 60 while we are there, Dad will turn 60 2 months later. However, we are going to celebrate Dad's birthday at Primetime - it will be great because neither have any idea what the restaurant is about.

We were there at Christmas time with some dear friends who had had the same "cousin" before on a previous trip. He talked about what had happened in his life in the past year and was very angry that our friends didn't send a gift to his new baby. Without missing a beat, my friend said, "Heck, we didn't know you got married!! Mom never told us!" He went out somewhere and came back with "Mom" and asked my friend to say that to his "Mom"!! She tried to explain and "Mom" would have none of it and made her stand in the corner!!!

Later, I was finished with my meal, green beans and all, and I put my elbows on the table without thinking. He came back and said that we were a troublemaking table and made me stand up and sing "I'm a little teapot" with all the moves and then had everyone in the room applaud!!!

We have an ADR at 50's for the first time during our May trip. Do these types of things happen to each table? My two youngest are both very shy and one is quite picky and just will not eat veggies. I'm thinking that this might not be the restaurant for us.

 

[MommyBoo!]

We ate there in December. It was me, DH, DS12, DD9, DD2, SIL and DH's aunt. OMG! It was so fun!

Our aunt got a timeout and refused to get up to go to the wall so our cousin dragged her there in her chair!

SIL tattled on ds for having his elbows on the table and she was made to sing I'm A Little Teapot.

SIL, aunt, and the older kids gave him lots of trouble and he asked me how I managed? I just shrugged and said, "They're my kids." and he told me I was a saint and that there would be a special place in heaven for me. I have not let them forget that one.

He teased ds relentlessly about setting him up with the 11 year old girl at the next table. Now, ds was the one I was worried about as far as getting too embarrassed but he took it in stride, red face and all. He really had a good time. And, maybe he thought the girl was cute too.

Daunt and DH gave him a hard time about who was cooking in the back and how many moms there were back there so he took DH's camera to take pictures of mom to prove to us who was back there. He went around the restaurant and took pictures of strangers!

He really played his part well and we got it all on tape. No pictures though. Just one at the end with all of us and him.

We will be going back there!!

Can someone tell me what plane in the hanger thing means??? we are going in Sept. 07 and are having dinner here. For me I am a small eater so I know I won't be able to eat all my food and of course I don't like veggies, YUK!!!: . I have read all your posts and have been laughing so hard at work. . I just can't wait we are coming down for 11 days Sept. 7- 17th.

Our "Mom" repremanded us for being late to dinner and keeping our cousins waiting. She asked where we had been and we told her at Indiana Jones. Then she started scolding us because she had told us before not to play with the Jones boy - he has explosives and guns. When we went to the ladies room and came back to our table, she asked if we had washed our hands. When we said yes, she asked what color the soap was. It was too funny.....
