Last week I posted the above picture and asked for guesses as to where it is located. Five people knew exactly where to find the plates.
Congratulations to Linda, Charlie, Craig, Lucie, and Robbie (I’m with you, Robbie, on the fried chicken! Yum!), who all knew the plates are located at the 50’s Prime Time Cafe in Hollywood Studios. The restaurant can be found in the Echo Lake area, next to Hollywood & Vine, and it’s a bit different in that it’s almost like an improv show. All the cast members who work there are part of the family, so you could have a cousin, an aunt, an uncle, etc. who is waiter or waitress. It’s a fun experience, because guests get treated like family, so make sure to keep your elbows off the table and eat all your vegetables!
In addition to the cast members, the decor of the restaurant is fun and fits very well with the theme. There’s always something new to see when you visit. I love looking around at all the decorations and seeing things that may have been in my grandparent’s kitchen growing up. So this place is big on the nostalgia and that’s one of the reasons guests love it.
The 50’s Prime Time Cafe serves both lunch and dinner. Menu items are the same for both meal times, as are the prices.

The 50’s Prime Time Cafe is not just a place to get food, guests also get a little entertainment. So if you’re looking for a fun meal, and don’t mind participating in the fun, then definitely make a reservation here!
