Planning a Visit

First, Sunshine Seasons is quick service, so you can simply walk up and order. The Hollywood Brown Derby, however, is a signature table-service restaurant that takes reservations, and it can be hard to book on short notice. Therefore, set a MouseDining dining reservation alert so you get notified when a Brown Derby table opens. As a result, you can grab it yourself before your trip.
