Even though rushing between attractions all day is commonplace, I'm a huge proponent of taking the time to sit down and enjoy meals [1] while visiting Disney parks. And the best place to do just that at Disney's Hollywood Studios doesn't even have tables . . . instead, you sit and relax in vintage cars. The Sci-Fi Dine In Theater [2] restaurant offers guests the unique experience of a '50s drive-in movie theater, with the indoor perks of air conditioning, a full bar, and an incredible menu [3].
While we're definitely charmed by the car-shaped booths and tables, old-school movies playing in the restaurant, and starry skies above, what truly makes the Sci-Fi Dine In worth visiting is the food. From famous milkshakes — guests swear by the Oreo flavor — and deep-fried pickle spears to seasonal burgers topped with fried boursin cheese and arugula, there are countless ways to satisfy your hunger at the theater-inspired spot. Plus, 21+ guests can enjoy beer, wine, margaritas, mixed cocktails, and more along with their food. It's vacation, after all — why not sip on a cold adult beverage between fun rides?
Disney recommends making a reservation for the eatery due to its popularity, so next time you're hungry in Hollywood Studios [5], be sure to book a table car! In the meantime, look through some drool-worthy snaps from Disney visitors below.
