Comments

The Hollywood Brown Derby in Disney's Hollywood Studios is a replica of the restaurant in Los Angeles that was popular with the stars back in the Golden Age of Hollywood. This restaurant is upscale but shorts and sandals are welcome – Disney's Hollywood Studios is the hottest of all the parks. Although, you’re also welcome to dress up in an evening gown and pearls – the husbands and boyfriends may prefer a tux.

Does anyone remember the episode of “I Love Lucy” that takes place in the original Brown Derby? While Lucy, Ethel, and Fred are lunching at the restaurant, there’s a typical Lucy mishap and the waiter dumps food on William Holden, who is dining with Eve Arden. Oops! Let's hope you don't do a "Lucy" when you're there.

And so, if you want to dine like the Hollywood stars, the Brown Derby is a welcome break from fast food and buffets. Sometimes we need white linen tablecloths and wait staff to make us feel like a star.
