Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater

Having a meal at the Sci-Fi Diner is probably one of the most original dining experiences we have ever had in a Walt Disney World restaurant. The Sci-Fi Dine-in Theater is located in Disney MGM Studios and guests are seated in miniature, six seater convertibles in a drive-in movie setting.

If you don't feel hungry enough to eat a three course meal you can always pop in for a snack, say an appetiser or dessert and definitely a milk shake. That way you can soak up the atmosphere and watch the science fiction movies being shown on the big screen whilst you pretend you really are at a 50’s drive-in movie theatre.

It’s quite dark inside the restaurant which all adds to the ambience. The sci-fi movie clips are all in black and white, some of which are very funny. A word of warning though, the temperature is usually fairly cold inside the restaurant. Whether this is intentional so that you feel as though you really are outside at night, we don’t know, but we would suggest taking a sweater with you. It is also uncannily quiet which seems quite strange when you first arrive. You then realise this is because everyone is engrossed in watching the movie clips.

When our daughters were younger they were seated in the front seats of our convertible and our server asked them if either of them could drive. When they answered “no”, much to their amusement she gave them their very own drivers' licence.

The menus have a movie theme, the appetisers are your “Previews”, the main course is your “Main Feature” followed by your dessert called the “Closing Credits”. Previews include soup, salads and crispy onion rings. Main Features include salmon, steak, pasta and ribs whilst the Closing Credits feature Chocolate Moon Pie and the Happiest Celebration on Earth Cheesecake.

Alcoholic beverages and soft drinks are available. For adults only, why not try one of the “Cosmic Concoctions” all with science fiction sounding names. Lunar Landing, Marsha’s Martian, Solar Eclipse or The Milky Way to name but a few. Children will love the "Interstellar Concoction" cocktails. These are served in a souvenir glow-in-the-dark cup complete with a lighted ice cube! For a sample menu click here

The Sci-Fi Dine-in Theater is open for lunch and dinner serving American cuisine at moderate prices. Priority seating is usually advisable especially during holiday periods.
