Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater Restaurant Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World

Enjoy the nostalgia of the 1950s with dinner and a show at the Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater Restaurant Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World.

Sci-Fi Theater Restaurant WDW

One of the most unique and fun dining experiences at the Walt Disney World Resort (as well as a challenging reservation to nab!) the Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater Restaurant features car-shaped booths and tables “parked” in front of a movie screen featuring non-stop old school sci-fi movie clips.

Sci-Fi Theater Restaurant WDW

When checking in at the restaurant, a car hop will escort you to your table or booth. The lighting is a bit dark so the menu is not the easiest to read (or food to see when it arrives!). The ambiance of this restaurant is what you’re really here for though, so check out the menu in advance so you know what you want to order, and settle in for the show while you wait for your food to arrive.

The Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater Restaurant offers classic “American” cuisine such as burgers, salads, sandwiches, mac and cheese, fries and shakes.

The movie clips run on the scary side as a warning to those with younger kids: think attacking aliens, marauding mummies and rampaging robots.

Take your time and enjoy the show, and be sure to take a stroll around the theatre before you leave. There are road-ready picnic tables at the back of the theater, where you’ll also find an old-fashioned, drive-in-style concession stand.

Reservations
Tables and booths will be assigned upon your arrival at the restaurant, unless otherwise reserved. Advance reservations are highly recommended. Learn when advance reservations can be made.

Ohana Polynesian Resort

The ‘Ohana restaurant inside Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort serves Polynesian-themed family-style meals.

Ohana Polynesian Resort

We loved the ‘Ohana character breakfast, called the “Best Friends Breakfast featuring Lilo & Stitch”, an American breakfast feast influenced by Polynesian flavors, with visits from Disney characters.

Ohana Polynesian Resort

Breakfast is served “family-style”, which means platters of food for sharing.

Ohana Polynesian Resort

Breakfast selections include scrambled eggs, breakfast potatoes, Stitch and Mickey waffles, ham with pineapple, a variety of fresh fruits and assorted breads.

Ohana Polynesian Resort

As we had vegetarians in the party, our meals were served individually rather than on larger platters. We received “Impossible” meat substitutes.

Ohana Polynesian Resort Ohana Polynesian Resort Ohana Polynesian Resort

While enjoying breakfast, Disney Friends visit walk around the tables, signing autographs and posing for photos. On our visit we had Lilo, Stitch, Mickey and Goofy.

Meeting Anna and Elsa at Epcot’s Royal Sommerhus

Meeting Anna and Elsa at the Royal Sommerhus Epcot via christineknight.me

The brand new Royal Sommerhus has opened at Epcot in Walt Disney World as a permanent home for the Anna and Elsa meet and greet.

Meeting Anna and Elsa at the Royal Sommerhus Epcot via christineknight.me

We visited the Royal Sommerhus five days after it opened, and perhaps because it hadn’t been advertised or promoted anywhere that we saw, it was really quiet, especially compared to the Mickey and Friends character meet and greet, which had a very long line and a 25 minute wait.

Meeting Anna and Elsa at the Royal Sommerhus Epcot via christineknight.me

Expecting a long line like we found in Disneyland on our last visit, we bolted to the Royal Sommerhus as soon as the gates opened, and found … a 10 minute wait at 9:15 am. We walked past the house several times during the day and the wait time was never over 10 minutes, making it officially the fastest place to meet Anna and Elsa out of Disneyland, Walt Disney World and Disney Cruises.

Meeting Anna and Elsa at the Royal Sommerhus Epcot via christineknight.me

The Royal Sommerhus is located between Mexico and Norway in the World Showcase section at Epcot in WDW, just before the new ride, Frozen Ever After. The house is set up to appear like Anna and Elsa’s home. The queue to meet the characters winds through the house, past their bookshelves, lounge, fireplace and staircase. The attention to detail is amazing.

The meet and greet takes place at the end of the walk through the house, with seperate sections to meet each character.

Meeting Anna and Elsa at the Royal Sommerhus Epcot via christineknight.me Meeting Anna and Elsa at the Royal Sommerhus Epcot via christineknight.me

Anna was first when we visited, and then Elsa.

Meeting Anna and Elsa at the Royal Sommerhus Epcot via christineknight.me

Each character spoke with Cheese briefly and then posted for pictures, both for the Disney official photographer, and also for me. While there is no pressure to buy the photos and you can absolutely take your own, I like to take photos on my own camera and also have the photographer take a few, so at the end of the day if mine don’t work out I have a back up in the Disney photographer’s images so I always get a great pic.

At the end of the meet and greet guests are ushered into the very well stocked gift shop, filled with Frozen merchandise.
