This is an exerpt from my trip report. Thanks, George!

We had dinner reservations at the 50's Prime Time Cafe. This is one of our favorite restaurants on property. We've eaten here every trip and never had a bad experience. Once again, the 50's delivered.
We were seated at a TV table. I don't think we've actually had one of these in a while. Joey liked having a TV even if it was black and white and she had no interest in the shows. She also liked the knick knacks, though she was disappointed to find them bolted down.
Our server was Uncle George. He introduced us to our "cousins" at the neighboring tables and had Joey set the table. He asked me to handle the silverware. Not thinking, I grabbed a knife by the wrong end and was scolded. Joey thought this was hysterical.
For my money, there's really only one entree on the menu at the 50's and that's the pot roast. I had the meatloaf on our first visit and it was okay. I've sampled the fried chicken when Mindy has ordered it. But ever since I first tried the pot roast there has been no turning back.
Both Mindy and I ordered the pot roast and we were both satisfied. Mindy couldn't quite finish hers and she asked me to help her out. Knowing we had dessert coming thanks to the dining plan, I declined. I think Mindy was worried she'd be made fun of for not cleaning her plate, but George went easy on her. He asked if he should box her left overs or give them to the dog.
Joey got the kid's meal. She loves the little salad she gets with it. And she loves the build-your-own kid's sundae. But none of the entrees appealed to her very much. We got the mac and cheese which Kara devoured.
Uncle George was concerned about Joey eating such a small salad for dinner. He offered to bring her several things including more salad. But Joey refused. When he brought our food, he brought some grapes for Joey. She didn't eat them right away, so he put them in a to-go cup for her in case she got hungry later.
George, if you're reading this, she got hungry later and ate the grapes. Thanks! You rock!
I've seen some people complain about the degree to which their server plays their part. Some feel they play it up too much and others say not at all. We've always been satisfied. The servers have always made us chuckle throught the meal without busting anyone's chops too hard. George continued the winning streak.
When it came time to order dessert, the girls were taking a potty break. I ordered Joey's ice cream, Mindy's s'mores and for myself the...
"Dad's Brownie Sundae," suggested George.
I nodded.
"I already placed your order."
When George brought out the sundae, he gave me two spoons in case I decided to share. Although he also gave me permission not too. I'm pretty sure the sundae was double the regular size. I know there were two brownies at the bottom. Even with Kara's eager help, I couldn't finish the whole thing.
Mindy's s'mores were a little well done. Ordinarily, if food has any color whatsoever, Mindy won't eat it. Forget burned food, she won't eat it if it's toasted. The woman eats mayo sandwiches on white bread, I kid you not. But she didn't blink at the dark s'mores. They were gone before I knew it. She said they were yummy.
Joey had fun arranging the toppings on her sundae. Kara ate the toppings off of mine. And thus ended another wonderful meal at the 50's Prime Time Cafe.
