I am just really curious and read in someone else's blog that they heard this restaurant was going once SWL was near completion. Does anyone have any legit news on this?

Love a little Disney every day!! ;)
No no legit news of this yet just all rumors. I am visiting in December just in case though. We usually go every other trip but will go for sure every trip if we can before that could maybe happen. We enjoy it! Same with Mama Melrose. 50's , and Hollywood Brown Derby. Some of those have been rumored too at some point to go away. So you just never know but will enjoy them for now.

I sure hope not! Sci Fi is my absolute most favorite restaurant! Aside from this, it's consistently booked. I would be very surprised to see them let something so special and unique go. (Wishful thinking...)

5 and a half years later, and judging by the reservation difficulty this place isn't going anywhere. Probably most excited for this place on my entire upcoming trip.

It is one of my favourite places on property. I will be devastated if they ever decide to get rid of it. Enjoy your time there!

May I ask what day and time. And what food you got that was no good?

Nope, its got a permanent hold on its spot. Its unique enough to stand out and draw guests in consistently. Weve never gone in and found empty seats. Our service and food has always been what weve expected. My only gripe is that they should replace the film occasionally. Its been the same presentation ever since we began dining there many years ago. Theres enough classic sci-fi movies and cartoons from the early years to draw from.

I wouldn’t go expecting great food; it’s all about the superlative theming. And if the service is slow, that’s all the better—you want to linger and take it all in!

I love the film and hope they don’t replace if, through it would be great if they had a rotation of two or three films so that repeat diners might see something different.

Not for a long time if ever. Not that I would mind if it did. It's still way to popular.

I'm expecting a decent burger and shake. The kids had options that looked good enough. If I wanted 4 or 5 * dining it probably wouldn't be at WDW and if it was it would be at one of the adult oriented places that have a fancy menu and charge for it.
I'm guessing 90 min between getting seated, ordering and eating and back outside. Sound right? 11:45 AM lunch res for 5...on a Monday in early Nov

In my experience (though I haven't been since February 2020), the food is perfectly decent, and you'll be done within an hour.

Do they really need MORE sw theme? Seems a 50s drive in theater is extremely unique, popular and fits the 'Hollywood Studios' theme perfect. Don't see it changing.

It would be cool if there were a few new clips though after all these years.

Agreed but when did sci fi open? People are saying it's been the same clips since opening. Would once a decade or two cause a big disruption? Lol
