Any reviews out there for planet hollywood

[lovinpoohbear]

HI just learned all 2006 wdw packages include a voucher for a meal at planet hollywood. I saw the menu on allearsnet and it looks good-any feedback out there? Thinking of doing this one on our first night since we may be tired and just do downtown disney

Food is very good, I had a the steak and dh has a pasta dish with shrimp....great food but loud atmosphere....we went back for lunch and it was better for noise and the salad and burger was good too

READ THE VOUCHER. It is only for ONE ENTREE, with ONLY a choice of a Salad, burger or pasta. In any event, we went to Planet Hollywood on our last day at Disney (1/24). I thought the food was very good. I got the Blue CHeese steak and it was the best steak I've had in a very long time. However, if you are using the dining plan be sure to inform the waitress first. She would only let us order 2 app (dh and myself). She told me that the kids weren't entitled to app, then her whole attitude got very icy. I thought it was just me but my husband noticed and remarked the same thing to me. Lunch for 2 adults and 2 kids, without dessert came to over $125.00.

longest wait for the most expensive nothing special hamburger I ever ate. That is how I'll always remember the place. absolutely nothing special about the food. of course I never never order hamburgers but we were out of cash and it was about the cheapest thing.

We love it and go every trip. The atmosphere is GREAT, food is awesome, and the deserts are yummy. If you go you will have a good meal and a good time in my oppinion.

Scrumptious food...

While I'm usually in the minority on the PH threads, this one seems to be going in the other direction. We have eaten there 4 times and always enjoy it. I think the LA Lasagna is excellent. We went with friends a few years ago and when they read the menu they thought it was over priced. Once they had the meal they agreed it was well worth it.

I know many people complain that it is loud, but to me thats part of the atmosphere there. And with 2 loud kids, loud music is a plus. We have never had a wait when we make PSs or used the preferred seating voucher we got at our hotel (any Disney resort had these, I dont know if they still do).

I think there is a time constraint on the voucher also. Check to see if you plans fall into that time frame.

My kids (three girls, 13, 11, and 8) absolutely love it there and I've always had good food. The atmosphere is a lot of fun.

It's a must for us every trip. Here is an excerpt from my reviews back from Nov/Dec:

Dinner – 4:30pm – Planet Hollywood

Our ADR had been for 4pm but because the dip at the front desk of AKL put only three keys in the envelope (she left out the 4th) we had to go back and were late getting to the restaurant which was not a problem.

This was my mom’s one choice of where to eat. She really likes this restaurant and let me say from the get go, it did not disappoint!

We used 3 dining credits and paid OOP for a kid’s meal (which I did not make Jenna eat). I had asked about just sharing 3 dining credits but the waitress was unfamiliar with the dining plan but offered a kid’s menu for Jenna so it worked out fine. Btw, this was the waitresses only downfall as service was excellent, glasses were readily refilled, dirty plates taken away quickly, and she returned many times to ensure that everything was acceptable. She made appropriate recommendations and was very pleasant.

We started with:

Tostadas – Filled with bbq chicken and smothered with cheese served with salsa and sour cream.
Potato Skins – filled with bacon, cheese and bbq sauce served with sour cream on the side.
Capt Crunch Chicken fingers – big pieces of white meat chicken coated with a crunchy sweat coating.

All three were very good and they were large servings. The chicken fingers were amazingly good – everything was hot and fresh. I told the waitress we were sharing them around so she brought small plates out to make it easier.

For entrees:

2 x 14 oz Rib eye Steaks served with French fries and green beans. (One for Dad and one for Jenna)
1x BBQ ribs served with French fries and coleslaw. (Mom and I ended up sharing)
1 x kid’s chicken finger meal (I ate the fries but the chicken fingers came back with us to the fridge)

The steaks were cooked exactly to order (medium and medium well). They were large and tender and rated 2nd best of the trip. The fries were hot and crispy but the green beans were a little blah but I expect that of American vegetables served in restaurants.

The BBQ ribs were fall off the bone fantastic. My mom found them a little spicy but they were mild. It was a full rack and they just seemed to go on and on. Everyone tried some and we all agreed that they were good – not fatty and very tender.

The chicken fingers were good reheated in the microwave at the Mara the next morning. P

Desserts:

2 x Strawberry Cheesecake
1 x Chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream

The cheesecake set the bar for all the others to follow and honestly, none quite lived up to this one. It was super creamy and had fresh strawberries and sauce on top. The chocolate cake the right mix of cake and icing and the ice cream was very rich and creamy (some of the best we’ve ever had). The desserts were all huge – I think the piece of chocolate cake was about a ¼ of a round cake.

Drinks:
3 x diet cokes (2 without ice and 1 with – you will notice a pattern as the reviews progress)
1 large chocolate milk (for Jenna)

Cost:
3 Table Service credits used – Total cost would have been: $137.27
OOP kid’s meal with large chocolate milk $10.33 + $10 extra tip

We ate there on our honeymoon in 1997. My husband ordered fajitas and ran out of cheese. When he asked for more, the waitress said they usually charge for more cheese but she'd see what she could do. It wasn't put on the bill and my husband (now ex-husband LOL) still talks about how Arnie and Sly gave him free cheese.

We ate there on our last vacation and the food was very good! We wore there for lunch so it was quite but I noticed how close together the tables are and indeed it does have potential to get loud if the place is filled. I would go back just for the steak I had there but the rest of my family said their food wasn’t as memorable.

 

[MamaKate]

Does anyone know if they'll let you use 2 of the package vouchers at the same time?? We have 2 seperate packages, so we're getting 2 vouchers. If they'll let me use them both, I'll definately eat there.

I was thinking even if they say no, I can just have the server do two seperate checks.

Do you think I'll be able to use both vouchers !

[mainewmn]

We didn’t use our voucher as we were on the DDP and I left ours at the hotel when we checked out. But if I remember correctly the voucher said it was valid for xyz on xyz dates, and you could use only one voucher per party which in my opinion is the table.

 

[maggiew]

Do you think you can use 2 meals on the dining plan and then get a 3rd with the voucher? Or is it only valid if you do NOT use the dining plan (for that meal)?

[beth_cam]

as to what will actually happen I have no idea but my take from reading the following on the voucher "voucher not valid with any other offer, discount, or promotion" is that you would only be able to use one and that it would not be able to be combined with the dining plan.

 

[SorcererDonald16]

Once I find a meal I like, I stick to it. That being said, I've gotten the Turkey Club sandwich at PH (either the Orlando or Myrtle Beach location) about, oh, 10 trips combined in a row now. Needless to say, I think it's good. Their smoothies are really good too, and you can get them to go.

We love it and go every trip. The atmosphere is GREAT, food is awesome. If you go you will have a good meal and a good time in my opinion.

Agreed.
