Title: "Annette's Diner" vs "Planet Hollywood"
Post by: itslizi on August 28, 2014, 04:24:07 PM
The subject of this topic says it all.

As they both serve similar range of food, I ask Annette's Diner or Planet Hollywood!? Why?!

I've only been lucky enough to experience Planet Hollywood, but I will be visiting Annette's for the first time in a couple of weeks. I quite enjoyed Planet Hollywood, the food was great, as I found a full loaded burger that didn't involve bacon. I hope that Annette's can live up to my expectations.

well, one important thing in favour of Annette's is that they're covered by meal plans, unlike Planet Hollywood. ;D

I haven't visited either though, so I can't comment on the food or the quality of the experience. ;)


This is only my 2nd visit as an adult, and I'm still working my way through the Table Service restaurants in the park with the occasional buffet restaurant. :) Haven't visited many of the Counter Service yet as a result (I've eaten at Cowboy Cookout Barbeque, but that's it really).

Funny that, that's why I ask. I've never been limited to the Disney restaurants before, although I will be on my upcoming trip as I've got a meal plan for the first time.

I just like to know the differences and similarities of each, as I was a fan of Planet Hollywood.

Hello

I have eaten in both and my top choice would be Annette's! I LOVE their burgers in there, they serve up massive portions too.

As much as i enjoy the food in Planet Hollywood, i always feel a bit cramped in there. There are so many tables and its always very hectic.

Annette's has a more chilled feel to it. :)

If youre after burgers it has to be Annette's, their burgers are so much better than Planet Hollywood's. However PH has the edge when it comes to non fried stuff, bit more variety on the menu.

I don't know why I never tried Annette's before as I do like the theme and feel of the place. I've came across food photos and their portions look large, and I was full after the portions I got at Planet Hollywood, although I do admit it did feel a little cramped in there.

Same, I can't fault it. I just have a Half Board Meal Plan and obviously Planet Hollywood isn't a Disney restaurant, which may be a good thing as it actually means I am forced to try something new.

I have high hopes for Annette's! When in Planet Hollywood it was only the burgers that stood out to me, but that may have been as I am a picky eater and I like to stick with what I like. I can't wait to try Annette's.

We've only eaten in Annettes, tbh I was a bit disappointed.  Part of our party needed gluten fere, so they got the burgers without buns, wow did that look miserable for the kids, a plain burger with no extras or toppings on a plate with fries.  Our waitress was miserable, and we were seated in a corner so were out the way of everything.  After reading reports we were looking forward to the waiters dancing on the counter, etc.  Probably just one bad experience, but we left feeling unsatisfied.

I've been to both, and the first time I went to Annette's, I thought it was much cooler than P.H, but that's mostly because of the waiters on roller-skates! The second time it was a bit too crowded for that, so it wasn't quite as exciting, so I guess P.H and Annette's are about even for me. But the mocktails in P.H were super yummy!

I've got to agree with you. I visited around a week and a half ago and we went to Annette's the first day and returned the next day and the next. It was bloody lovely food, great service so I rate it very high.

Have tried both and would go for Annettes every time over PH, the vegetarian options are amongst the best available at DLRP! The kids love the menus that fold into cars. We have never been lucky enough to see waitresses on rollerskates or dancing on counters but the food is sooooo good I dont mind!

There were a couple waiters on rollerskates on each time we went in, it's gotta be my new favourite place. I adore the burgers, and the deluxe shakes make up of Strawberry and Oreo is to die for.

Have eaten in Annette, went to go in last year and meet a family coming out complain about hr wait for food, food cold not luke warm.
but we try and eat in PH at least once a trip, I love it, and it's the only place where the kids eat all their food..

I have been to planet Hollywood during every visit (Around 10 now) I feel it is more lively and a better range of food. Having eaten in Annette's for the first time in May (and loved it) I still feel I would pick PH over it. Annette's needs a refurb inside. It doesn't look as clean as it should be and lacked something I still cant put my finger on..

We go in a few weeks for our first time at DLP and I have just tried to reserve a table at Annette's Diner as its the Mrs' birthday when we arrive and she loves the whole theme idea there.
I was told that we cant reserve a table there, I though we could reserve anywhere, am I missing something or been miss-informed?

I just walked in at Annette's, I don't know why you can't reserve but as it's in the Disney Village that may be the reason why they don't do reservations.

What time would you be looking at going, we watched the parade at the beginning of the route and made our way over and out the park before the parade reached the end of Main Street, so we walked straight in, another time there wasn't a big wait, but after Disney Dreams there were queues of people as we walked past, though we don't rush out after Disney Dreams as my boyfriend doesn't like crowds so the whole of Disney Village was full when we walked through then.

I was looking to book around about 7ish as we cant check in until 3 so it'll give us time to fond our feet before dinner if you know what I mean.

I'll just have to wong it and hope for the best :-)

I think you'll be ok at 7, the worst queues were definitely after Disney Dreams!

There may be a chance that you can go to your room a little early, we arrived on the Eurostar and got to the hotel around 2:15 and were allowed access to our rooms then as it was already ready.
