Review of 50's Prime Time Cafe Lunch/Dinner

My DH and I ate here for supper during our trip to the World in November. We have eaten here before, and we have always been pleased.
I love that they have flavored sodas! I had a vanilla diet coke, and the waitress was great about keeping the refills coming! I had the sampler platter to eat, and it did not disappoint.
DH had a cherry Sprite, which is something he looks forward to getting each trip here. For supper, he had the pork chops. His only complaint was that he could have eaten more of them because they were so good.
We both had Dad's Brownie Sundaes for dessert.
Our waitress acted more with the tables that had children, but we were definitely okay with that. She made us set our table and clean our plates, and she said we were very well behaved (probably because we have eaten at 50's several times, and we know to put our cell phones away and to keep our elbows off the table!). Overall, this is a fun restaurant with good food, and we definitely recommend trying it out!

Although the Magical Express documentation states that luggage delivery service is available for all flights that arrive before 10:00 pm, I would not recommend it if you are arriving anytime after 6:00 pm if you want your luggage the same day you arrive. It is quite possible that you will not get your luggage until the next day. Our flight arrived around 9:00 pm and were not able to get our luggage until the next morning. Lucky for us, most of the things we needed were in our carry on bags, but not all. Had I realized we would not be able to get our luggage within 2-3 hours of landing I would not have used the luggage delivery service and gone to baggage claim. I even called baggage service at the resort and requested that they deliver the luggage as soon as it arrived and stayed up to wait for it, it never came. I called in the morning and they had it delivered right away then.

My DH and I lucked up and got a walk-up reservation during the passholder previews in November.
We were seated in the beautiful ballroom, and we felt like we were in the movie. This place is gorgeous! There were two things that we didn't like though: close seating arrangements and tiny tables. When another couple sat down beside us, we felt like we were on top of them. Also, the table space is hardly enough room for your plate, glass, and bread all at once. Everything was very crammed on there.
The food was great. I had the sauteed shrimp and scallops with the strawberry cream cheese cupcake for dessert. The cupcake was perfect! DH had the strip steak and chocolate cream puff for dessert. He was a little disappointed that there weren't more options for dessert.
The entire restaurant is incredible. We were thrilled that our waitress encouraged us to check out the other dining rooms -- they are all beautiful!

This is by-far my DH's favorite quick service. We eat here at least twice every time we visit the World (he has been known to eat it twice in one day though!).
Word to the wise: while one person is inside ordering, another person needs to be waiting for a seat! If you don't, you will probably eat standing up or sitting on the ground. Either way, it's worth it, but it's always nice to be able to take in the atmosphere of whatever is going on at the castle or on Main Street.
I always get the corn dog nuggets, and DH always get the bbq slaw dog (minus the slaw) with cotton candy for dessert. We have never been disappointed!

We are always very happy at Pop. The rooms are tiny, but we've learned to accommodate for the size. We will be staying there again soon, as no other resort feels like home the way that Pop does. It is definitely a must do for people who are park commandos who only use their rooms to sleep.
Pros:
Frequent buses, wonderful theming, ease of access to everythingCons:

There were plenty of food options at this breakfast, that's for sure! We especially enjoyed the "create-your-own" omelet option and the french toast. Some of the food was a little too onion-y for our taste, but overall, we enjoyed the experience.
Pros:
lots of food optionsCons:

This is a wonderful service and we recommend it highly. We checked our bags at our home airport and never saw them again until we got back from the part that night. They had been delivered to our room at our Disney hotel. When we left for home, we checked in for our flight at our hotel, checked the bags, and bypassed check in at the airport. We did not see our bags until we arrived at our home airport.
The only problem we had was in actually finding where this service is at the Orlando airport. There are few, if any signs on the main level after arrival. Apparently, this is due to the airport's strange insistence about not having the Disney magical express signs where they would be helpful. After asking around, we found out we had to go a couple of levels downstairs where the car rentals are, etc. All in all somewhat confusing for first time users of it. We have used the magical express four times now so we are well-aware of how to use it and where it is located. However, the airport could do a much better job of showing people where it is.

very convenientCons:

We ate here twice on our trip. My son (11) loved the "idea" of the place and he actually really liked the pizza; (he can be really picky). The food is what brought us back a second time. It was our last meal before we left for home.
The employees were very nice, friendly and engaging. We went both times at a slow time and did not have to wait very long.
The only real complaint I have is there was not enough themeing inside. It is Pizza Planet! Where are the Aliens in the crane machines and Zerg statues and robots? Inside it basically just looks a small normal arcade. My son says it is kinda like any pizza place with games. Outside you see the sign and it looks just like the movie. Inside it is not even close.
For kids, it is still fun and good food and friendly service.
Pros:
Atmosphere, friendly staff, food goodCons:

The transportation itself is very nice and comfortable. Unless you catch it at just the right time on arrival, it can be very time-consuming. On your return, the service demands you leave your resort far too early.

Getting excited for the boardwalk villas from Jan. 13-17! It is a surprise birthday trip for our 8 year old daughter. Have not told her yet (so hard).
Just wanted to give others a heads up- received notification today the Luna park pool is closed Jan. 2 through early March.
