Advance Dining Reservations
50’s Prime Time Café is a reasonably popular table-service restaurant, so it does offer advance dining reservations (ADRs) – and you’ll want to make one if you’d like to eat here with the family.
However, it’s worth noting that we’ve never had an issue nabbing an ADR here. While they can book up fast during the busiest times of the year, this is a great option if your top-tier choices are all booked up, or if you want something last-minute.
