Disney's Hollywood Studios Brown Derby restaurant review

I recently was able to enjoy The Brown Derby at Hollywood Studios and it did NOT disappoint!

It was a little a little more upscale in setting and cuisine which is a nice change from some of the other restaurant selections. It provided a more relaxed feel, less smaller children presence, a higher end expectation(which was received), relaxed ambiance and great food.

Menu options are limited as typical for this style dining. It was fine for me since I knew exactly what I wanted, steak! 

As far as Dining Plan worth: It does require 2 dining credits. I do NOT feel this is a valid use of dining credits. I would suggest paying out of pocket unless you have the points to use and it's a must do with keeping your original point budget. If booking with the Fantasmic dining package, you are much closer to getting your dining credits out of it as well if you are enjoying a spirited drink under the plan.

Our Food Choices:
 We were not eating that much and opted out of an appetizer! We came close to ordered the Blue Lump Crab Crispy Wonton.

We did however indulge in the bread. They provided a red Hawaiian salted butter which was so amazing spread over the dinner rolls!

Entrees:
I had the Char-grilled Filet of Beef. It has a Port Wine glaze. I am NOT a fan of port wine glazes. They were able to put that on the side for me.
The sides it comes with are Brussels Sprouts and Sweet Potato Silk & wild mushrooms. I was really preferring the sides that come with the Pork Chop entree which are Yukon Gold Smashed & Asparagus. They were able to switch my sides when I requested. (YEAH and I promise I am normally not picky!!!)

My meal was perfectly prepared and I so enjoyed it!  I still preferred Cali Grill filet with it's garlic Butter! If i were to compare that is.

My brother had the filet how it comes! He also was very happy with it.

My sister in-law had the Duck Breast with came with confit pumpkin ravioli, asparagus. She didn't enjoy the meal too much unfortunately. The duck was TOO fatty from other servings she had in the past. The chef recommend it med rare and which she wished she had it med well instead,
The texture of the ravioli was also not very pleasing to her.

 I do recommend this restaurant but it would always depend on your travel party and trip expectations for when I would recommend it.


Take a tour of the famous faces that adorn the walls. Some are quite humorous!

The Disney Cruise Lines offer Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique Makeover with more options than you could ever get at the parks!!!! (Fantasy & Dream boats) You can get First Mate, Pirate, Mermaid, Princess and even a star Wars makeover (depending on the sailing you book under) We did the standard Princess Makeover although we have done Pirates in the past (for son and daughter) It is always a fantastic experience! The children feel so special with all the extra attention with makeover to boot! How do you not love that?! They do start around $19.00 for boys and $55.00 starting rate for girls. They can definitely escalate depending on the amazing options you could add to it from $100, $200 and even $750.00 (Yes, You read that correctly~$750.00) Of course booking for this opens when your cruise registration opens. You must be paid in full and the opening registration depends on If you are a new cruiser or the Castaway Club level you are. Previous sailings I have always booked arou

virtual Run Disney review from Dealing with Disney

I decided to finally see what the virtual Disney Runs were all about. A friend of mine told me she signed up. She wanted to keep her momentum going which inspired me to look into as well. I have learned to love the Run Disney events. It appears they offer seasonal Virtual events options from the Run Disney website. (see link HERE ) There were 3 races available to choose from or a full circuit registration containing all 3 races. This came with a bonus medal as well.  Each event was $45.00 and the combined package was $145.00. This was more $$ obviously but ok, I can see they have added in the cost of the extra medal you earn. What does this get me or should I say, what do I get out of this event? I can see the Disney love of just doing it for Disney,  doing it for the medal or doing it to keep momentum of working towards goals. All options seemed very reasonable to me and got me excited, therefore I signed up for the gauntlet. My friend pointed out her whole family

Walt Disney World Halloween 2020 re-opening experiences by Dealing with Disney

My review from my latest Disney world experience.   This trip was definitely not one of my favorites! Before you read all my cons.. .Keep  in mind, I still enjoyed this trip.  The main point of this is to have proper expectation for your needs/stay. If you go into a park without proper expectation, it can really throw your trip OFF!  We had some great moments. We had some rest spots - drinks - treats which were nice.   One amazing PLUS: The security checks are a breeze now! No lie.. their big concern are umbrellas and water bottles (metal ones) tend to set off the machines. They ask for those to be pulled out of back packs but all other items you can walk through with!  I loved still having the time to appreciate the little things in the park that we take for granted. The craftsmanship in all the art around the park/architecture , the plant life every where!   I will be honest, part of the reason was due to my own family! Hey, I always like to keep It real-in perspective we shall say.
