Welcome to the Backlot Express!<\/em><\/p>\r\n Disney\u2019s Hollywood Studios theme park<\/a> is very popular right now, and with good reason! Toy Story Land<\/a> is bringing smiles to guests\u2019 faces, and Star Wars fans are rhapsodic about Galaxy\u2019s Edge.<\/a> Because of this, at mealtime, people tend to flock to the quick service spots in both these new lands.<\/p>\r\n But that means those places are getting busy, and at times you can find a wait for your food and difficulty finding a place to sit and eat. I\u2019ve got a suggestion for you if you find yourself in this situation.\u00a0 Simple and hearty sandwich and fries<\/em><\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n When the weather is pleasant, you can also eat outdoors. The seating outdoors is covered by a shade structure, so even during the blazing heat of afternoon or a light sprinkle of rain, you\u2019ll be protected. (I wouldn\u2019t recommend it during a complete downpour, though.). <\/p>\r\n There’s always a Star Wars treat on hand!<\/em><\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n So even though it\u2019s been around for about 30 years, this place still is a good, reliable place to get simple, hearty food.

Give the Backlot Express<\/a> a try!
Okay, this might not be the most glamorous suggestion, but hear me out. We\u2019ve eaten at this quick service location multiple times over the years, and I wouldn\u2019t hesitate to do it again. Here are my reasons:<\/p>\r\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/SandwichandFries-400x320.jpg\")
<\/p>\r\nLOTS OF SEATING<\/h3>\r\n
This restaurant is themed after a real-life Hollywood backlot. I\u2019ve been lucky enough to visit two of these, and I can attest that Disney\u2019s version bears more than a passing resemblance to the real thing. Indoor seating makes you feel like you\u2019re working behind the scenes on a movie and have taken a lunch break in the paint, prop, or carpentry departments. Little details adorn the seating areas to add to this theme.<\/p>\r\n
The bottom line? We\u2019ve never been unable to find a seat here. However, as usual, I recommend you try visiting when neither the lunch rush or the dinner rush is in effect. (I recommend 11:00am for lunch and 5:00pm for dinner.).
One other comment about timing: As of this writing, the Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular is not running. However, the Backlot Express is located close to the amphitheater where this show usually is presented. Because of that, after shows let out, the restaurant can experience a deluge of guests.<\/p>\r\nGREAT FOOD FOR PICKY EATERS<\/h3>\r\n
If you\u2019ve got kids (or adults!) who have whined their way through World Showcase, asking why they should eat couscous and crepes when they really want burgers and fries, this might be the perfect place to stop and have a bite. Burgers, sandwiches and salads are the mainstays here, and they are hearty and good. There is always at least one meatless entr\u00e9e as well. As for desserts, the selection isn\u2019t huge, but there always seems to be one Star Wars themed item available. When we last visited, it was a Darth Vader cupcake, but the menu now shows a Wookiee cookie!<\/p>\r\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.themouseforless.com\/blog_world\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/DarthVaderCupcake-400x320.jpg\")
