Location: 50's Prime Time CM: Cousin Mark

[BriLee]

In 2004, my family and I went to the Prime Time Cafe for dinner. We had never been before and didn't know what to expect, although we had only heard good things about the restuarant! We knew the waiters and waitresses acted like family, but we didn't know exactly how they would act, and thanks to our waiter, Cousin Mark, we loved it! It was me, my sister, and my parents being waited on, but he "picked" on me and my sister the most. He even made my sister run the menus up to the front while he took her seat and chatted with the rest of us! Haha. He also introduced us to the couple sitting at the table next to us and encouraged conversation. When I didn't finish my whole plate (I was 14 and the servings are rather large!) he refused to let me order a milkshake for about 5 minutes! It was a great experience, and we've gone back to eat there almost every trip!

At the end of our dinner, he even said "Picture time!" and made us take a picture with him (not that we wouldn't have asked for one, anyway!).

Mark told us that he had been working at the Prime Time for the past 8 years. He still works there (as of our last call to the Cafe), but each time we've requested him he hasn't been available or working that night.

If you go, I hope you get him as a waiter! It was one of the best Disney dining experiences!

I second that!

Mark was definitely one of the best CMs we've interacted with!

We had Cousin Jeff. There were 7 of us, so we were sitting at 2 seperate tables. He sat down with my Dad, sister, & son, and talked to them. I was sitting at another table with another sister & her 2 boys. I was talking to her and never saw him sit down. He started yelling at me, I yelled back, and this is how it went for the rest of the meal. He even tried to fix my son up with another girl in the restaurant. It was a blast. We're set to go back in May for another round!!!!

Hated it no offense! I think my parents ruined it for us! WE had a jenna person!

AS a former CM at the Left Block Kitchen (Prime Time & Hollywood Vine) I worked around Mark. He is truly one of a kind.

All of the Cast members who work at Prime Time and Hollywood n Vine back stage work very hard to make your experience a very happy and joyful one.

It was a pleasure to work under Chef Ron -Prime Time & Chef Jeff - Hollywood n Vine. These gentleman are tough but the run a great Kitchen.

We had Mark last year and he was HILARIOUS!!! When the kid at the table next to us completely cleaned his plate, Mark grabbed it, held it above his head, and announced to the entire restaurant that they needed to look at this kid's plate...and then he mounted it on the wall (and by mounted, i mean wedged it between the jello molds/misc crap glued to the walls).

We also had a cute little old lady that reminded me of Sophia from the Golden Girls the 2nd time we ate there, but I can't remember her name for the life of me.

We make sure we go to 50's Prime Time every trip. Great theme and the food is always very good with good portions. Try Dad's Brownie Sundae its the best.

We always request Loukili. He is great at this character and have begun a great relationship and always share stories on whats new in our lives. He is soon to be a dad!! Congrats!
