Like most all Disney World restaurants, 50’s Prime Time Café has a theme that’s hard to beat.  The idea here? That you just entered a time warp and arrived in your mama’s (or grandma’s) kitchen circa 1950.   Everything from the aprons found on waitstaff to the wallpaper looks authentic.  There are even televisions showing black and white sitcom clips while you eat! As if that weren’t enough fun, the staff here stays in character as you are told how everyone at 50’s Prime Time is family.  Just be sure to finish all your peas and keep your elbows off the table!!

The food here is just as warm and welcoming as the theme.  Expect to find meatloaf, pot roast, and sandwiches (Aunt Liz and Cousin Eric’s recipes of course!) as well as soups, salad, and appetizers such as onion rings and shrimp cocktail.  Dessert here includes cobbler and sundaes as well as a selection of shakes and smoothies.

Adjacent you will find the Tune-In Lounge, which follows the theming of the main restaurant.  This is a fun stop if you don’t have time for an ADR at 50’s Prime Time (or if you are just in the mood for one of Dad’s classic cocktails) but often gets filled up with guests waiting for their dining time at the main restaurant.
