Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater Restaurant
Commissary Lane, Disney's Hollywood Studios
About
Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater in Disney's Hollywood Studios makes you feel like you're at a 1950s drive-in at night. You sit in booths shaped like classic convertibles facing a big screen that plays old sci-fi trailers and cartoons, and servers bring burgers, shakes and sandwiches to your car. Entrées are roughly $18 to $30. Because there are only so many car booths and it's one of the few table-service spots in the park with a strong theme, lunch and early dinner slots are often booked well ahead.
How to Get There
The restaurant is located in the Commissary Lane section of Disney's Hollywood Studios, right next to the ABC Commissary. If you enter the park, walk straight down Hollywood Boulevard and turn left at the central hub. Walk past the Hyperion Theater toward Commissary Lane, and the building will be on your left. You can get to Disney's Hollywood Studios by taking the Disney Skyliner, a Disney bus, or a friendship boat depending on your starting resort.
Menu Highlights
The menu features American drive-in classics, with a strong focus on custom burgers. Other options include a fried chicken sandwich, a grilled chicken citrus salad, and a warm caramel brownie cheesecake for dessert. Adults can order specialty cocktails like the Spicy Martian Margarita or the Long Island Lunar Tea, and milkshakes are a popular non-alcoholic choice.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far in advance can I book Sci-Fi Dine-In?
You can book 60 days before your meal. Guests staying at a Disney Resort hotel can book their whole stay (up to 10 days) starting 60 days before check-in, which gives them a head start on later dates.
Can I request a car booth?
Most parties are seated in the cars, which hold two people per row. Larger groups or guests who need other seating may get picnic tables at the back. Ask at check-in if you have a preference.
Is it good for young children?
Most kids love it. The room is dark and the clips include campy old movie monsters, so very sensitive children may find it a little spooky.
What if there's no availability for my date?
Check back often, especially the day before and the day of. Plans change as guests adjust their park days, and tables get released.
