    Hello, my husband and I have a reservation for dinner at the Hollywood Brown Derby. Can we ask to sit on the patio for our reservation if the weather is nice? thanks!

    Welcome back to planDisney, Delilah!

    Ooh, I love The Hollywood Brown Derby! What an excellent choice for your visit!

    The adorable little patio that's just outside the main restaurant is actually The Hollywood Brown Derby Lounge. For this location, you may check for available seating as a Walk-Up guest. While you can do this in the My Disney Experience app, you may also simply head to the check-in area of the Lounge and ask about available seating. Should they be able to seat you, ask the Cast Member there or inside the main restaurant if they would be able to remove your name on the restaurant reservation so you don't appear to be a no-show. If they are able to do so, they most certainly will.

    I love dining both indoor and out here, but one of my favorite perks of dining at that lounge is Disney's Hollywood Studios people watching! Soaking in the lovely weather, watching the magic stroll by, and enjoying the delicious bites these locations have to offer--what an absolutely priceless way to spend time together.

    Regardless of where you dine there, Delilah, be sure to try Our Famous Cobb Salad and their infamous Grapefruit Cake. Oh, so good!

    As you plan the extra pixie-dust for your special visit, be sure to send more questions our way. We love to help!
