Many consider the 1950’s to be the good old days. Dinner featured home cooking served on Formica table tops in kitchens with black and white checkerboard floors and some very interesting wallpaper. Disney brings meal time during the 1950’s back to life at 50’s Prime Time Café located at Hollywood Studios. The lobby area screams 1950’s decor – from dark wood paneling to vinyl chairs to kitschy knick knacks and figurines. Like most of Hollywood Studios this is an idealistic representation of a bygone era. Once seated you will find the décor spills over into the table areas. Seating is [...]

I am a be-prepared-for-anything girl. And a trip to Disney is no exception. I pack everything in my backpack because I don’t want to be caught and have to pay a high price at the parks. This includes bulky items such as a light jacket in case I get cold, my rain jacket in case it rains and an umbrella for defense against the sun.

The idea of having everything with me is great - except when [...]

Disney has a secret in Hollywood Studios, and it’s called the Writer’s Stop! The Writer’s Stop is the perfect replica of a little neighborhood coffee shop.

Circle Marks the Spot, for the Writer’s Stop! It is nestled right behind the Tatooine Traders and right next door to the Sci-Fi Dine-in Theater! In fact, there is a door from the waiting room of the Sci-Fi restaurant right into the Writer’s [...]
