Sci-Fi Dine In
Dinner was at the Sci-Fi: I ate here with my family when I was 8 years old but haven't been back since. My brother and I had so much fun here so I was excited to go back.
When we got there we checked in and one of the CMs at the podium was super nice and friendly. He had just started working and was clearly very excited to be there, and entertained us with stories and stuff while we waited, even though it was only about 5 minutes. We were soon led to the front seat of a car and were settling in.
It got a little chilly in there so I put my sweatshirt on. I think this was the only restaurant we were in all week where I actually used it. To begin with, we ordered drinks. I had originally wanted to try one of the alcoholic "milkshakes" but was still a little full from the cupcake at Starring Rolls and I didn't want to order anything too heavy. So I just got a vanilla coke. Jason went for a regular strawberry milkshake:
For my entree I had the shrimp pasta (Bowtie Pasta and Sautéed Shrimp with
Olive Oil, Garlic, Basil, and fresh Tomatoes topped with Parmesan):
I gave this an
8.5 out of 10. It was quite tasty. I'd read a really negative review of it in someone's dining report on here so I was hesitant to order it, but I was pleasantly surprised. There was nothing bad about it. The tomatoes in here were really fresh, you could taste that, and that really made the dish. Yum, I'd definitely order it again.
DH went with the beef and bleu cheese salad (no longer on the menu here):
He gave it an
8 out of 10. He said it was tasty, but it was pretty much exactly what it looked like: beef and lettuce. A little plain, but still tasted good.
We skipped dessert here because we were both full and we were also paying for this one OOP, so no sense overstuffing ourselves!
Overall we give the Sci-Fi an
8 out of 10. The clips were fun and entertaining, and the food was good. Not spectacular, but very good.
We paid OOP for this meal.

We did a few more rides, and then decided to go get a seat for Fantasmic (we'd never seen it before). Before we went in I grabbed a Strawberry Banana Smoothie at a stand outside of Rockin' Roller Coaster:
This was just eh. If you're thinking of a smoothie as something creamy, maybe yogurt-y - no. This was some sort of fruit or fruit flavoring with ground up ice. You could taste the ice chunks when you drank it, so not all that pleasant.
Once we found seats I decided that I wanted a popcorn, but since I wanted to use a snack credit to pay for it I had to go wait at the stand (rather than the vendors that were walking around). This was super crowded! But since it was either standing and waiting or sitting and waiting, so I waited. When I got up there and put in my request for just one popcorn, she handed it to me and again told me it was on the Mouse!
So at least I got it for free!
It was typical popcorn, definitely yummy though. I forgot to take a picture until it was almost all gone:
As soon as I sat down DH decided he wants cotton candy and pays for it OOP from a vendor
If he'd decided that earlier I could have gotten him one at the stand with our snack credits! (We never did end up using all of them). Oh well!
