Free Planet Hollywood Meal - Is this something new?

[shatzjsl]

Since I'm going by myself and don't have to do a bunch of planning to make sure anyone but me has a good time, I did my plane/hotel/ticket reservations at the WDW website.

I got my confirmation in the mail yesterday and it has "Planet Hollywood Meal Voucher" and "Planet Hollywood Merch. Vchr." Is this something that you usually get when you book online? I signed up for a standard MYW package. No extras. *shrug*

How is Planet Hollywood food? Any idea what the merchandise voucher is for?

I'm pretty sure it's something anyone gets for booking through Disney. It was going on last year when I went at least. We also got vouchers for some pins and lanyards to try to get us into the whole pin collection thing.
Planet Hollywood food is ok... they have good burgers (and it's free so how can you complain). The atmosphere is really loud, but there are cool memrobilia on the walls and it's an interesting place. The only complaint I had was that they play music videos on a huge screen and I had to sit through a Britney Spears video about 10 times... other than that, it's a cool place.

It seems like we got a voucher for a free meal, lanyards and pins too in 2004. I agree with KimmLynn, it is pretty loud, but it's a cool place to go. The food wasn't extraordinary but it was good and we weren't hungry later.

I just booked the Visa Special, do you think I will get one also? That would be GREAT

Thanks. I'm not sure if I'll use it or not. Will I need ADR for Planet Hollywood?

 

[KimmLynn]

We didn't use ADR and the wait wasn't that long. If you wanted to make sure you didn't have to wait for too long you could probably call ahead the day before or something like that. There's no need to make reservations too far in advance.

Thanks.

We got the same thing when booking thru AAA. It must be standard to get this. The Merchandise voucher is good for a t- shirt if I recall, but the choices are limited.
