Perhaps a cool little series you guys can do is diet specific "best dishes" you guys can recommend... Like gluten free, Paleo, vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian, Halal, etc.

I have a HUGE soft spot for Hollywood and Vine. I went in 2019 to celebrate getting my degree. I had BLAST meeting the characters, and unexpectedly cried when Goofy hugged me. I was embarrassed and he just hugged me again and it honestly was a magical moment for me. I love the fact they give you tickets for seating for Fantasmic too.

I love watching the videos they’re always very informative and helpful. Id love if you guys put chapters in the videos so I can see reviews of restaurants I’m reserving for my next trip!

Woody would have built a Lincoln log dining room for people to sit at lunchbox cafe. And that's what Disney should do as well.

My brother still hasn’t gotten over the closure of Pizza Planet

I’m so glad you mentioned that the Sci-Fi diner is more about atmosphere than the food! The atmosphere is very cool! Maybe not so much with 2 young kids like us! 🥴 but the food and service was not a great experience for us personally! Hoping we just hit it on a bad day!

Mama Melrose is a staple for us every time!

Backlot Express is the absolute best! Indoor seating is a plus (if you can find it), but the absolute best part about it is that you can fill up your water bottles with the good ice and water before you head back out to the heat. Cast members are also usually pretty great there- any time I've been with someone with a "celebrating" button on they've always made our experience super awesome. Glad it's getting some love here

We went to Hollywood and Vine for lunch on our last trip and we loved it! Characters were amazing and we enjoyed the food!

I went to ronto roasters for the first time when I went to Disney world at the end of 2022. I got the ronto wrap & It was DELICIOUS. Definitely a must for anyone going to Hollywood studios in my opinion.

The great thing about Mama Melrose’s is that there is nothing down by the restaurant, so the area tends to feel deserted. The Muppet and Christmas store is gone so it feels so isolated and empty.

Brown Derby is so excellent! We've been twice in recent years, and it easily beat every other restaurant in that park. The second time we went, we brought my mother and aunt, who had been to '50s Prime Time and Sci-Fi back in the '90s when I was a teenager. I told them - this time, we're taking you to the best place in this park, and they LOVED it. (Of course, they also loved every hotel restaurant we brought them to, but I'll keep this to a theme park comment!)

I had a great experience at Mama Melrose’s! Very accommodating for allergies too. But, we had a Tower of Terror lightning lane reservation right after this meal…definitely wasn’t great on the stomach!

I took my mom to prime time on our mother daughter trip because she loves restaurants that have a shtick to them. The section we were in was just like we were in a normal restaurant. No antics and shenanigans. Meanwhile the section over was getting yelled at, having to do little tea pot and my mom was like wish we were in that section. I felt so bad.

Since I toddler visiting with my family, we've made a tradition of visiting the Sci-Fi Drive In Theater. I'm happy to report that, while taking my partner to Disney World for their first time, I continued that tradition. Love the atmosphere, and the food is no slouch, imo.

[yolandashields]

I know exactly what you are talking about at Woody's Lunchbox. I absolutely love the food there and "sweat" it out (no pun intended) every time. I wish they would expand the seating because the food is worth it but with a family of 5 it is hard for us to find a table.

[nunuvyerbizniz]

Not sure that I agree that Sci-Fi Diner takes a lot of time out of your day to experience. It doesn't take any more time than any other sit-down, and the clips shown on the screen repeat about every 30 or 40 minutes (I think). Not that you're missing out for missing some of what's playing on the screen!

the “Brown Derby” is also what happens at Saratoga Springs after i eat too much in the parks 💩

[birbluv]

I am a solo older traveler and i love Hollywood and Vine. Partly it’s because i’m a sucker for characters. But i enjoy the food too. There are plenty of options on the buffet for someone with a limited diet.

Roundup Rodeo dropping half the side dishes recently kills the restaurant for me. Super sad about it, but it was so nice to have a *different* option style of food. Now it’s the same old same old.
