do you prefer Hollywood & Vine or Sci-fi
I have Hollywood & Vine fantasmic reserved for Sept 22. I was looking and there is a 9:30 show for EMH.
Do you prefer the food at H&V or Sci-fi or would you keep the H&V, do the early show and save the EHM hours for the smaller lines? No kids going, so we could stay in the park until it closes - if my feet allow!

Re: do you prefer Hollywood & Vine or Sci-fi
I did not like Hollywood & vine we all found the food really bland. I felt the food and the atmosphere was better at sci-fi. Having said that I have only been to Holywood and Vine once and have been to sci-fi 4 times.

Re: do you prefer Hollywood & Vine or Sci-fi
We've only been to H&V once (either 2003 or 2005) and thought it was good but not great. We were super hungry and I think that helped us enjoy it.
We usually do Sci Fi for lunch each trip and really enjoy the food and atmosphere but not so much the service. We tend to stick to basic burgers and fries and have had good luck. |

Re: do you prefer Hollywood & Vine or Sci-fi
I would keep the H&V and the dinner package. I think having the guaranteed seating at Fantasmic is great, and the food there is solid(not great,but good enough).

Re: do you prefer Hollywood & Vine or Sci-fi
I've only eaten and H&V for their character breakfast and the food was pretty good. I'm anxious to hear comments on Sci-Fi because I've been considering eating there.

Re: do you prefer Hollywood & Vine or Sci-fi
Food wise, we prefer H&V to SCi-Fi. If you do SciFi...stick with hamburgers. The atmosphere at Sci-Fi is hard to beat tho...

Re: do you prefer Hollywood & Vine or Sci-fi
Honestly, I think the idea of H&V is cute, a vintage diner, but the atmosphere (and the food) at Sci-fi BLOWS H&V out of the water! You will feel so much more satifised if you go to Sci-fi. It's my favorite sit down resturaunt out of allll of the Disney World! :]
If you have any further questions or concerns I'd be more then excited to help you out! Have a magical day!

Re: do you prefer Hollywood & Vine or Sci-fi
I took the girls to H & V for lunch and I thought the food was really excellent. At the same time, DH took DS to Sci Fi (because he didn't care to see the PHD characters at H & V) and thought the food was just ok. I had read they had great chocolate shakes there, but he said that his wasn't very good. I also told him about the delicious mashed potatoes at H & V and he said he wished he'd gone with us instead!

Re: do you prefer Hollywood & Vine or Sci-fi
thanks for all the comments. does the fantasmic show fill up in Sept. I know it's said it does in the summer. I don't want to sit there an hour before the show, that's the reason I booked the dinner/show

Re: do you prefer Hollywood & Vine or Sci-fi
Better figure that you're there during free dining and that alone is going to skew show attendance. It might even have more people doing the dinner package, fill the reserved section on your night, and free up some seating in the general seating area. Or it might not. It's too much of a crap shoot for me to guess crowd size.

Re: do you prefer Hollywood & Vine or Sci-fi
I've never been the Sci-Fi so I can't comment on it; ate at H & V in Jan 2007 and thought it was terrible.
