In the past, we were always happy with the Backlot Express, but it has been several years since we have eaten there. I was happy with the mediterranean food at the Studio Catering Company, but most people look at the offerings and get scared. I just checked that menu on allearsnet, and it looks like they changed the menu again (and the name of the restaurant). Oh, well. Otherwise, we end up going to Beaches & Cream at the Beach Club.

On our last few trips, we have found that the vast majority of the restaurants in that park close very early, even before 6pm. On our last trip, this was the case even though it was an Extra Magic Hours day at the park. The ABC Commissary seems to be the main exception when it comes to counter service locations, but this can result in it having extremely long lines as well as it being difficult to find a table. Our experience has also been that the food isn't really very good there. The burgers were dry and overcooked, last time I ate there. -Jeff
