The Hollywood Brown Derby is one of the restaurants that we have wanted to try at Disney World for awhile. Every time I have made a reservation for this restaurant we have changed it for one reason or another. We almost changed it again at the last minute but we are so glad we didn’t.

Cocktails to start lunch. When in Disney why not? It was part of our Deluxe Dining Plan that we could have 2 drinks at each meal. The first was a Manhattan. Delicious and STRONG!

We had a fastpass for “Under the Sea- Journey of the Little Mermaid” a bit later in the afternoon so after checking the My Disney Experience (MDE) app and seeing that some of the shows in Frontierland had little to no wait we headed in that direction.
