Yelp
Planet Hollywood is absolutely stunning. Anyone can visit Disney Springs, even patrons who do not have tickets into Disney World. On that note, Disney Springs is absolutely stunning. Just a note, I visited July 2021, years & months prior to creating a Yelp account. But I figured I'd add my two cents even now because my experience was a culture shock.
RESERVATION
My sister, niece, and I reserved a table for 3 at Planet Hollywood. I had no problem reserving a table on my phone & the app, which was a OnePlus 6t (android) at the time. And just about 30 minutes later, I received a notification on my phone letting me know there was a table ready for me. We made our way in, they led us to our table. We had no problem getting sat down and getting started immediately. Barely much of a wait time.
This was the first day covid restrictions were lifted for Disney as well so they were busy all around! The restaurant was full. But still, I had no issue with reserving via my phone.
I know it's not the same if you walk in without a reservation because I heard someone speaking and saying they prefer in-app reservations over walk-ins as we were being led to our table. The people who get served first are the ones with a reservation, as they should.
FOOD
This is a great choice for those who are picky eaters. Prices are very doable. Everything was very filling and huge portion sizes. Well-made, no complaints.
ATMOSPHERE
The first thing I noticed about Planet Hollywood was how big it was inside. All those screens and right when we came in Ice Cream by BLACKPINK and Selena Gomez was on. So I was like, oh my God there's KPop at Disney!
It is quite loud inside. It's booming with hit songs. The lighting is dim for a more cozy vibe.
PERSONAL STORY
I decided that I wanted the penne pasta with steak instead of chicken, and the server asked me if I wanted to add shrimp to it. I said, "No I'm allergic."
I had NO idea it was going to shoot off the number of questions and information on my minuscule allergy that it did. I've never had this type of reaction to that grand of a scale before.
I kept reiterating a few times, you can cook shrimp in the same kitchen, I just can't ingest it. And I get where the concern is coming from, and that's amazing! Even the manager came out, the manager looked over my meal before handing me my meal. I was culture shocked. I'm first generation American, my parents are from Poland. I was raised in Polish culture, but I integrated in American society so I have the best of both worlds.
To me, an allergy is MY problem and my problem only. I don't expect people to go out of their way to make me comfortable. I was not put on this Earth to make others feel comfortable, therefore, I don't expect it. But I understand some people have major allergies to the extent where they can't even breathe same air as it. I don't know what to tell you, but it was just an experience. Even till this day when I tell anyone I'm allergic to shrimp, I do not get that reaction.
OVERALL
The food was absolutely delicious. I felt great after my meal, and I was starving from so much walking in the sun at Magic Kingdom. I actually didn't finish all my food. Instead, I opted to take the rest with me as leftovers. It was great to have for lunch the next day too! 10/10 would definitely go back to eat at Planet Hollywood! Enjoyed my stay! Enjoyed my meal!
