Cruise In For a Memorable Meal at Hollywood Studio’s Sci-Fi Dine-In Theater Restaurant

You will find classic 50’s drive-in foods, such as onion rings, milkshakes (be sure to ask about the milkshake of the day!) and build-your-own burgers, but that’s not all.  The menu hosts other memorable dishes, such as New York Strip Steak, Smoked Turkey sandwiches, and St. Louis-style Pork Ribs.  Your children will find a wide variety of choices on the kid’s menu, such as popcorn chicken, mac-n-cheese, cheeseburgers, and grilled salmon to just name a few.  You’ll want to save room for another milkshake for dessert or perhaps some warm […]

Fine Dining at Disney World’s Cítricos

1/14/2014 • Walt Disney World • Fine dining at Disney World is as easy as heading to one of many locations all around the resort where service and dining selections go above and beyond.
