Hi Mary Ann! Welcome back to planDisney.
My family has reservations for dinner at
The Hollywood Brown Derby in just a few days, and I am drooling thinking about everything we're going to eat and drink. The Famous Cobb Salad is absolutely on our list - it's such a classic, and so delicious. I consider their Grapefruit Cake a must-do as well!
At this time, takeout is not available at The Hollywood Brown Derby, but I have some thoughts about how you might be able to get that delicious Cobb Salad without the Table Service experience. Many Guests are fans of
The Hollywood Brown Derby Lounge, which offers more casual outdoor seating and a walk-up experience. The Cobb Salad is on their menu. I wonder if you could politely ask at the podium if you could order a Cobb Salad to-go? The Cast Members working at the restaurant on the day of your arrival will have the most accurate and up-to-date information, and if they're not able to accommodate, you could wait for a lounge table and enjoy your salad with a view of Disney's Hollywood Studios.
The other idea that crossed my mind was the new
Mobile Order Table Service Dining option through the My Disney Experience app. While only a few select Table Service restaurants are offering
Mobile Order at this time (hello,
Sanaa!), it's possible that more restaurants will begin to offer this service. At this time, The Hollywood Brown Derby does not offer mobile dining, but I would keep an eye on the
Disney Parks Blog and the list of mobile dining locations in the
My Disney Experience app. To access the list, tap the three horizontal bars in the bottom right of the screen, then "Mobile Food Orders." Tap "Create New Order" to see which restaurants are currently available.
Mary Ann, I hope your Cobb Salad dreams become a delicious reality! If you think of any further questions as you count down the days, please come back and see us.
Wishing you a magical vacation,
Robyn
