So, we will have to wait until 2007 to try it. I was so looking forward to this because I love stuff like that. Oh well at least I have one of my dinning choices done for 2007.

Once we were there and sat next to a Mother and her daughter from England. We struck up a conversation telling them more things not to miss during their visit, and the Mother was not eating her vegetables as was one in our party. Well, up they go to stand in the corner, the two of them, and of course, out come the cameras, and well, we just had a great fun time. They thought this was so much fun. We shared a really good time with them. It depends on your mood, and if someone wants to eat quietly, don't go there.

This would not be the place for him. Don't get me wrong he is a fun guy but when it comes to food he is not one to be messed with. Like I said, 2007 will be my time to go there.

Originally Posted By Liberty Belle I would never go to WDW without going to the Prime Time. I thought it was hilarious. The food for me was only so-so because I'm EXTREMELY picky and don't like much meat, but that's my fault, not the restaurant's. Still, the atmosphere was so good that I'd definitely go again, every time. I only wish I hadn't had the thickshake - it was delicious, but it meant I couldn't try the s'mores!

Originally Posted By BeccasMommy I was so dissapointed, our server was unenthusiastic at best...and since the others around us were so good it was even more so...ah well...perhaps we'll try the Sci-Fi last time.

Originally Posted By avromark The PTC is about ambiance and interactive imho, I prefer my mom's meatloaf. The whole fun is letting a certain 13 year old whine when he gets caught "borrowing" food off mom's plate. Or a certain LPer not mentioning my name for teasing his siblings.

Originally Posted By BeccasMommy I agree avromark, which was why i picked it, for the interaction, otherwise who pays $15 for meatloaf??
Originally Posted By BeccasMommy but the meal was yummy, and we had the dad's super sunday thing which was yummy but weird
Originally Posted By avromark You know what food was like in the 50's right? Not quite the same as now. Trim the fat -> you had to since it had an inch of it on your steak.

Interaction and those cool sets, then again you should see my authentic 70's Teak and Brown vinyl caster chair dinette as well as matching dry bar
