They should do a theme park/hotel experience called 90s world or something

No mobile phones (except shit giant ones that cost loads), no MP3 players, no internet, just the sun shining brightly and beers for 2 pounds 50

No internet?
Wouldn't be very realistic for me then unless you only went to 93, but I guess that would be fine with me.

i was on dial-up most of that time, but didn't really need more than that for what I was doing since it was mostly text stuff like irc, email groups, usenet, etc.

i worked in this bar for 4 years with this guy called Alberto and I think yes I would have called him a mate. People used to banter him about being Italian etc and he would smile, laugh, shrug... people would be all like ciao ciao ciao Alberto... we used to do lockins and mad parties and all that, he had a legendary constitution, like nothing phased him, no matter what he took he never seemed to change, people would give him stuff to dose him up to try and get him high but he was just like hey yeah lol calm... one day he turned to me after a shift when we were cleaning glasses and said really matter-of-fact hey yo yknow i'm not Italian, my name's Gazi and i'm Albanian. I'm getting married next week... turned out he had worked for 4 years in that bar and saved every dime so he could pay this random weird blonde woman from Bermondsey he had found online to marry him so he could get a UK passport... they got married (it was her 3rd Albanian) and we had a big, very odd pissup in the bar we worked in, and then they got divorced a week later (irreconcilable differences)
