The Disney Traveler

The Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater at Walt Disney World’s Disney-MGM Studios is a unique place for lunch or dinner.  This restaurant is themed after drive-in movie theaters that were popular in the 1950s. 

The decor of the Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater screams “drive-in” from top to bottom.  As your family is escorted to the dining area, you’ll immediately feel like you are at a 1950s drive-in movie theater complete with waiters and waitresses on rollerskates! 

A huge movie screen is mounted high on the wall at one end of the restaurant, and the lights are low to simulate an evening under the stars (and stars do shine above).  In front of the movie screen sit rows of dining cars that look like they were driven right off the streets of the 1950s.  Each convertible car includes 3 rows of seats for diners to enjoy their meals while watching 1950s sci-fi movie clips on the big screen.  Additional dining cars are available which are set up as tables rather than 3 rows of seats, and umbrella tables are available in the back of the restaurant to accomodate different party sizes and needs.

If you’re visiting Disney-MGM Studios, I highly recommend that you enjoy a meal at the Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater for a one-of-a-kind experience.  Kids love this restaurant because it’s so unique.  The menu includes American cuisine with sci-fi movie inspired names for the menu items, and reservations are a must.  In fact, this restaurant fills up very quickly, so if you think you’d like to dine there during your Walt Disney World vacation, you should call 407-WDW-DINE well in advance of your trip to ensure you can get a reservation at the time you want.
