Worst Counter Service Restaurant on Walt Disney World Property

Pizza Planet. Now, when most of you think of a bad quick service restaurant, you think of Electric Umbrella. You should, it is pretty bad. But not as bad as Pizza Planet. Why? At Electric Umbrella you have a selection. Not a great selection, but you have more than three options. At Pizza Planet you have, well... pizza. And salad. And a meatball sub. 

You would think a restaurant that has "Pizza" in the name and charges $10 for each individual pizza would make the pizza edible, right? WRONG. With these pizzas, you get 1/3 sauce, cheese, and toppings, and 2/3 crust/dough. The sauce is molten lava after you receive your pizza. IT IS $10! It may fill you in one sitting, but the quality is awful. Worse than Louie's at Universal. So the quality and price of the food is one quality of being the worst quick service restaurant on property. 

Another quality is the atmosphere. Going inside of this place, all of my energy is immediately drained. Tons of arcade games with no one playing them. There are more arcade games in there than tables for people to eat at. Eating at Pizza Planet is a horrible experience, when it really shouldn't be. I remember as a kid watching Toy Story and seeing Woody walk up to Pizza Planet. This is nothing like how I would have imagined it. Maybe like the mural in the photo above, but not like this. I'll leave you with this:

One more observation: NONE of the arcade claw machines have Disney characters in them, which is ridiculous.

A Few Charming Features of Disney's Hollywood Studios

These are some things at the park that I like to look at and appreciate. They are small pieces of scenery that makes the feeling of being in Hollywood more genuine.

First, I have the fountain near the tip board on Hollywood Blvd. I just love looking at it as I walk by and sitting by it at night. I wish there weren't as many oblivious dumba**es going to these parks sticking their sweaty feet inside the fountains, that just ain't right.

Next, we have the Academy of Arts and Sciences Hall of Fame. This is just a cool little area to look at busts of legendary television personalities and producers. You can also find a bust of Walt Disney there and takez a selfie with him.

Now we have a thing that may scare the F$%# out of you if you are standing next to it and aren't paying attention. No, I'm not talking about the Sorcerer's Hat. The traffic lights on Hollywood and Sunset Blvd. make the streets just that much more lively.

That's all I got for now! Definitely will make more posts like this in the future. I use photos from WDWLive.com in this article, please visit their website for great Walt Disney World backgrounds for computers and smart phones.

Nostalgic for What?

Here I'll take a little sidestep from the Hollywood Studios posts, but this one involves all four parks. A lot of Disney fans I'm friends with are nostalgic for a lot of little things that were a part of their Disney experience from when they were kids. That could be anything from an entire attraction to a character to something as small as a park feature like a bridge. This thing that I'm nostalgic for may seem a little weird, because I haven't really heard people talk about it at all. I have heard people said they liked the old monorail spiel by Jack Wagner, but nothing about the Disney Transport BUSES spiel.

That's right. It may be the ONLY thing I like about the Walt Disney Bus System, but it is the thing that gets me most excited for a day at the park, water park, or evening at Downtown Disney. The voice-over on the WDW Buses have been a part of every Disney vacation I have taken, nothing else gets me more excited before I enter the turnstiles. I don't know what it is but something about it gives me a unique feeling. It is the build up of excitement, the narration of things to do in the park, and the music that plays as soon as you arrive. All of that gives me the energy and excitement to have a fun time. If you need an example here's one below:
