Planet Hollywood - Raiders of the Lost Ark section?

[Tinkjon]

I'm sure I read somewhere recently that one of the restaurant areas had a Raiders of the Lost Ark theme. Howev er, I can't find any photos of it online and I now can't find where I read it - did I imagine this?! If it is there, how obvious is the theming - is it just a few bits of memorabilia on the walls or is it more visual than that? Just wondering if my Indiana Jones-mad 4yo woudl recognise it as soon as we walked in... thanks!

Oh, also - is it very noisy? I read that the music is designed to be low enough that you can talk to people at your table but there are lots of reviews saying how noisy it is. Doesn't bother me too much but my husband can't stand lots of background noise... could get him some earplugs, I guess!

Sorry I can't help with the Raiders question but there is lots of stuff on the walls however it would be quite hard to see it all if it was busy as the tables are packed in very tightly. It is very noisy in there too which isn't helped by the tables being so close to each other but on saying that the one time we went there we had a lovely meal, I couldn't fault the food. If you decide to eat there I'd go late afternoon say 4:30pm - 5pm as it will be not so busy and not so noisy then.

Oh that's a shame about the noise - I don't think my husband would be able to stand that. Thanks for your reply!

I can't help with the Indiana Jones thing either I'm afraid but would agree that even if they do it will be hard to see it. I've eaten in PH twice and wasn't very impressed either time. Food wasn't bad, service wasn't great but not terrible but what has really put me off is how packed in everything is. When I went with my DH we were literally shoe-horned in between two other couples, barely room to get my backside between the tables to sit in my seat. And I find it very noisy in there but that's not because of the music, it's the sheer volume of people!

Sorry to be a party pooper, I'm just not a big fan.

I'm not a big fan either. If you go as a couple you get no room whatsoever, it's like you're sharing a table with other people they're that close.

It's a little better if you're with family as you get put on a round table so you get a bit more room.

I much prefer Anettes and Rainforest Cafe though. The food is better, the décor is more interesting and the atmosphere is livelier and more fun.

OK, I think we'll have to give that one a miss then. Such a shame about the Indiana thing as my son wasn't into Indy when we went to WDW so we didn't bother to watch the stunt show - now he's really into it and there's nothing Indy for him at DLP! (He's only 4, so the Indy coaster will be ab it much for him, to say the least!)
