Status quo. Nothing new.

What is grammatically correct when identifying a decade? I've seen it both ways.My hope for D23 is that they announce a long-needed update for DHS--the removal of the unnecessary and inappropriate apostrophe in "50's Prime Time Cafe". Or they keep the apostrophe and it is owned and operated by 50 Cent. He has nothing better to do...
1950s. 1950's means the year 1950 owns something. For example, if my last name is Smith, we are the Smiths. All of the people with the last name Smith like 1950s refers to all years 1950-1959. If my last name is Smith and I own a restaurant, it could be called Smith's Diner because it's mine.What is grammatically correct when identifying a decade? I've seen it both ways.
Kids on the interwebs are all excited because they are convinced that iger confirmed a frozen land for dhs on some weekly d23 podcast. *sigh*

You are, of course, correct in general about the apostrophe--writing "men's ties were wider in the the 1970's" is just wrong. But to be fair, it's possible that the apostrophe is actually possessive in this case...the Prime Time Cafe belonging in the 1950s, as one would say "chinese restaurant" and not "china restaurant." I realize I may be putting more thought into this that they did when they named it...1950s. 1950's means the year 1950 owns something.

Foolish them for not bowing to your superiority without putting up a fight.Oh i know. I enjoy watching them get all mean about it whenever anybody says they are wrong

Where is this other "mean" forum. I can't imagine one more snobbish and judgemental than this one.
Call me when you find one that is more accurate than this one.
Yes, we're Snobby. Arrogant. Elitist. Judgemental. Alas.... we're also accurate.
Exactly. Looks like by the time they proofread it, though, aliens will be moving in anyway (or maybe not, in which case removal of an apostrophe should cost no where near $2.8bn).If we want to get all pedantic up in here: if it is indeed the "Prime Time Café" belonging to the 50s (therein personifying the decade), it would be spelled '50s' Prime Time Café since the apostrophe that denotes ownership would come after the plural noun, as the noun ends with an s already. The apostrophe before 50 would be taking the place of the eliminated numbers "19".
Class dismissed, don't forget your homework: a 1000-word essay on the worst smelling monorail cabin you have ever been inside.

My grandson has been obsessed with OMD since the age of six..as he's now twelve and we are there about once a month or so that means I've been dragged in there many, many times! I think it is fascinating, just for me, not for that many visits. While I would be happy to not have to visit for an extended period of time I will miss it if it is shuttered rather than relocated (in some form at least). I also think it deserves a place at WDW.I really hope that if OMD closes, Disney repurposes it into some other kind of exhibit somewhere. I have a hokey but genuine fondness for that attraction, and seeing all the artifacts from Walt's career. Plus I really enjoy the film.
