50’s Prime Time Café

Top choice in Walt Disney World


Step into a quintessential 1950s home with TVs, linoleum floors, some of the funkiest of funky retro furniture around and, of course, home-cooked meals, including Grandma's Chicken-Pot-Pie, Aunt Liz's Golden Fried Chicken and Mom's Old-Fashioned Pot Roast, served up on a Formica tabletop.

Waitresses in pink plaid and white aprons banter playfully and admonish those diners who don't finish their meals, putting their elbows on the table with a sassy 'shame, shame, shame.' Such, such fun.
