Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater Description
Alfresco dining gets a new twist at this creative establishment, a place that, despite being indoors, feels every bit the retro, outdoor, night-time, drive-in movie theater it purports to be. Stars twinkle while patrons (in vintage cars, naturally) dine on sandwiches, salads, and soda pop in this remarkably authentic haunt. You even get the creature-feature flick to go with it.

Kid Tips
Toddlers & Pre-K: The restaurant is loud and dark. Dine with a character if you and your kids prefer a mellower dinner experience.
Planning Notes
- Reserve your spot. This parking lot fills up fast. Reservations are recommended.
- Take a "ride." The restaurant has pub tables at the back, but the experience just isn't the same (on the flip side, if you're just here for the food, you may get in quicker that way). To get the full effect, make sure to ask for a car.

Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater

What we loved:
You can't beat the atmosphere of sitting in the cars with fun lighting!
What we didn't love:
Food was not very good. Unless you're on the meal plan, you feel cheated.
Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater is lot of fun - good ambience, decent waiters/waitresses (although while we were there on our honeymoon, our waitress was not the friendliest). Despite the waitress not being friendly, they gave us the front car in the front seat - just because it was our honeymoon! You MUST tell them these things when you book the restaurant though.
For some reason, I chose the shrimp primavera - not good. Burgers & fries are your best bet and honestly, it's all about the experience anyway, right?
Fun atmosphere.
Good entertainment.
Funny movie clips.
Decent food.
We always come back here each time we're in Disney, so it must be pretty good!
Overall, I'd give it a 7.5 out of 10.Read More

What we didn't love:
Food
We have eaten at the Sci Fi many times, my children absolutely love eating in the "cars", the feeling of being outside at night, and the old time monster movie trailers on the movie screen. They love the kid friendly burgers, fries, and shakes. The adults have less of a selection. I have been dissapointed in most of the food I have gotte there, I would definitely stick with a burger and fries. the food is also a bit pricey and it is definitely not worth one of your able service meals if you are on the Disney Dining Plan. it is a fun place for kids, just don't expect too much from the food.Read More
Sci Fi Dine in Theatre is too cool!
By sherabby40 February 28, 2008 | Son: Age 8 | Canonsburg, PA
What we loved:
The atmosphere is excellent! Just like an old drive in theatre!
What we didn't love:
It was a bit cold inside and dark
My only negative comment about the Sci Fi was that is was a bit dark to see the menu and it was also a bit cold. The meals were excellent and my son loved the movies on the large screen. He was a bit dissapointed though because we got seated behind a family of 4 in the last row of seats and he wanted to sit in the front. Maybe next time!Read More
