I had one of the most wonderful experiences at 50's Prime Time, I love that place. I went by myself and I had a park close reservation, and I went because I love that kind of food and don't get to eat it very often. I didn't know about the server thing at the time, and I didn't know about it till watching this video, because I had this little old lady as my server (who was as tall as I was sitting down) and she was just really sweet and lovely. And another server sat down across from me for a minute to talk about the milk shakes, and he was just a really sweet old guy. It was great.

[@thedanheaton]

I love these videos summing up all the restaurants and food stands at each park and appreciate the clear explanation of the pros and cons. I did want to note that some of us still prefer the outdoor seating due to COVID concerns. I suspect that the video is designed to be evergreen, but it might be helpful to spend more time not harping on wanting indoors and AC when the opposite is true for guests like us. Talking about the best outdoor seating spots might be a good addition for a future video or as an add-on down the road. Great job as always with this video!

As for Mama Melrose's, our family loves it and they've always been so good with our little kids.

[@jon8167]

Backlot Express which only has bad burgers and basic chicken tenders is a 9/10 because of it's charm while Docking Bay 7 which has immensely better food and better theming is a 7/10? Even if you discount the food styles for kids you would have to discount the food styles for adults with Backlot because the food there is truly bad.

[@devorezz]

I'll probably never get to go back to Disney World in my lifetime, but I still have fond memories of eating at 50's Prime Time when I went 20 years ago. I remember looking at the dessert menu on a View-Master toy. Do they still do that? When I was looking through it, a member of the wait staff that was passing by said "Settle down there Scooter, there's no naked girls in there." They really do make you feel like family.

[@MsRene98]

Mama Melrose's is based on the true stories of Perrino's and Romanoff's during the studio Era in Hollywood. Neither wanted to be an actor but one was a prince. They both fell into the restaurant business.

They have done so many great things at Hollywood Studios, however, this video just reminded me that they probably need to do some major work on their restaurants and the food they serve. Theming is great, but when theming carries the restaurant instead of food, there is a problem.

I've never had or seen any of the "antics" at Prime Time in five visits. Is it something they just do for families, and not for tables of adults?

[@Ecrious]

They def. spice it up more for families with kids cause the jokes a lot of times are directed at adults. Most of the antics are kind of weird for a low wage worker to say to only fully grown adults.

[@katstiehm3932]

They’re kind of casual, right? My mom would say it’s rude to talk to a stranger that way, but it’s fine to talk to your family that way. It’s probably subtle but my family was very strict growing up so watching us all shift our cultural expectations was fun.

[@Ecrious]

@@katstiehm3932 It's all in good fun. Nothing crazy. Depends on your waiter and your reactions. They can sense what works and what doesn't, like a comedian.

[@NickStilson]

Have you considered a “DougScore” esque ranking system/spreadsheet? I feel like that would be the way to go because we can just check the DFBScore spreadsheet in the parks, and you and the team can update it as restaurants change.

As a former Catalina Eddie's castmember, I feel personally attacked! :P But you're right. The menu hasn't changed all that much there and I worked there in 2011.

[@JoeOnTheGo1]

I was at 50's Primetime Cafe in May and one thing I think is notable is that the portions are quite a good size (especially compared to a lot of other restaurants/food stops in Hollywood Studios)! My family of two adults and two young adults were filled, and many tables around us had leftovers (sometimes half the plate). We also thought the food was quite tasty despite it being more "normal" things like pot roast and fried chicken. They also had specials of the day (chicken pot pie and salmon when we were there), so that was also a pleasant addition. By far, this was our favorite restaurant throughout our whole time at Disney!
