Lunch at Planet Hollywood

After searching fruitlessly for a Starbucks in the area for several hours, it was now approaching lunch time and I was getting very hungry. I remembered when I was in Downtown Disney having seen a Planet Hollywood and really wanted to check it out.
I headed to Planet Hollywood, which is only about 10 minutes from Cypress Pointe Resort , and was able to easily find a parking spot and was sitting down before I knew it. When I first walked in I was overwhelmed by all the “decorations” hanging on the walls throughout the restaurant. I grabbed a table in the bar and sat back, trying to take in my environment.
My waitress came over quickly after I sat down, but I could barely hear her because the music was playing so loudly throughout the restaurant. There were TVs everywhere showing clips of movies and other entertainment pieces, but again, I couldn’t focus on them due to the blarring music.
I ordered a burger and a margarita and ate as quickly as I could. Planet Hollywood, in my opinion, is a cool concept but just slightly missed the mark for me. Now that being said, I am a fairly young girl, and enjoy high-energy places as much as any other 27 year old. But, Planet Hollywood just didn’t do it for me. There was WAY too much going on within the restaurant and the music was deafening. I will say that the food was good and the service quick and friendly, but not a place I would choose to go back to.
So, if you are looking to grab a quiet lunch with your family on your next Orlando vacation, Plane Hollywood is not the place to go!!!
