If you loved going to the old drive-in movie theaters, you are going to LOVE eating at the Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater in Hollywood Studios!! Step back in time and remember the good old days as you slide into a 50’s era car shaped booth or table, under a starry night sky, and enjoy the delicious food they have on the menu. A “carhop” will soon be at your table taking care of your every dining need. And while you are waiting for your meal to arrive, sit back and enjoy the endless black and white sci-fi “B” movies showing those creepy creatures from your childhood on the big screen…they even show old commercials in between the movie clips. Talk about bringing back memories!! Read more
