My family loves Brown Derby. We have always gone on the dlx ddp so the credits never bothered us. We also like Sci Fi and they have a new menu that looks really good. We keep wanting to try 50's but can never seem to get an adr.
I seriously agree with this. H&V was atrociously messy... definitely took my appetite away. The food at SciFi is overpriced and mediocre. We like Mama Melrose but it's so much like Olive Garden, without the unlimited breadsticks and salad (free). We also like 50's PT but sometimes the schtick gets to be just too much. Haven't done Brown Derby because of the price. Our FAVORITE ts at the studios is... Kouzzina! We take the boat to the Boardwalk, have dinner, and either stay or take the boat back to DHS for the evening. It's a lovely, relaxing break, and the food at the Boardwalk outshines anything at DHS (even ESPN Club is better!).
We had a great meal at Mama Melrose this past May with the F! package. As a PP said it is comparable to Olive Garden, but I like Olive Garden. And the fact that we got reserved seating at Fantasmic! was a bonus.
