Planet Hollywood

Updated 6/16/22

For the most up-to-date information about the phased reopening of the Walt Disney World Resort, please visit the Walt Disney World Know Before You Go Guide.

Located in Town Center at Disney Springs, movie memorabilia meets American cuisine at this tribute to Hollywood restaurant. Enjoy lunch or dinner on one of four floors at this very spacious observatory or dine outside and overlook a beautiful Florida sunset! Planet Hollywood is open daily from 11:30 am to 11:00 pm.

One thing you will rarely have an issue with is getting a seat at this restaurant. There is plenty of seating available! Once you are seated the first thing you will notice is a massive movie screen in the center of the room. This 4,500 square foot video wall has state-of-the-art sound and media featuring music videos, custom 3D animation, birthday messages, and more.

Scattered around the restaurant are (you guessed it) loads of artifacts and costumes from Tinseltown’s biggest blockbuster movies. For example, the dress Dorothy wore in Wizard of Oz, the door that Jack couldn’t fit on in Titanic and Chewbacca!!

One of the big changes at Planet Hollywood in recent years has been the food. They have teamed up with Guy Fieri to fire up an exclusive portion of the new menu, featuring Guy Fieri’s burgers and sandwiches.

For an appetizer, I would highly recommend the world famous Chicken Crunch. These all natural chicken tenders are hand-breaded with a crunchy sweet coating, served with Planet Hollywood’s signature Creole mustard sauce. I am a huge fan of burgers (I mean who isn’t, right?!) So I would definitely check out the Big Bite Burgers that are offered here. My go to is Guy’s award winning Bacon Mac-N-Cheese burger. This smash-grilled burger features applewood smoked bacon, six cheese mac-n-cheese, cheddar, lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle, crispy onion straws, and donkey sauce on a brioche bun….awesome I know!!

Now is this an upscale Disney dining experience….no. However, if you are looking for a fun break from the Disney action and looking for some good old fashioned American food this is a great spot for you and the family. Typical pricing ranges between $15-$35 per person depending on what you order. I would compare it to taking the family out to your local chain restaurant on a Friday night with the volume cranked up to 11! A fun, unique experience for all.

Advance reservations are strongly recommended. This location does accept same day reservations.

Gaston's Tavern Giant Cinnamon Rolls

Cinnamon rolls are a must for me at Christmas and this is one of my favorite recipes for look-alike Gaston’s Tavern Giant Cinnamon Rolls! I found it on Inside the Magic , so all recipe credit belongs to them, but I have copied it below with some of my commentary and photos of my step by step process. Homemade cinnamon rolls are always going to be a bit time consuming, but these only have to proof for 40 minutes total so it’s really not bad at all! First things first, here are the materials you’re going to need: Mixer (one with a dough hook will make your life much much easier) and bowl Rubber scrapers Rolling pin 2-3 saucepans Microwave safe bowls An area big enough to roll them out 2 metal sheet pans with edges Measuring cups Measuring spoons Medium sized bowl for filling Liquid measuring cup The nice thing about the recipe is it uses pretty basic ingredients that you likely already have at your house. I went to Aldi and bought nearly everything just to see and it was about $20. And o
