Hello Randy,
Thanks for stopping by planDisney with your question! I'm sorry to hear you are having difficulty making an advance dining reservation for a table service restaurant in Disney's Hollywood Studios. I know that can be frustrating, but I'm sure we can figure out a solution that may work for you.
There are a lot of popular dining locations in Hollywood Studios that fill up quickly. Occasionally, you can get a last minute reservation as other guest change their plans and have to cancel, but if you don't want to take that chance, that's completely understandable. You can also try the
Brown Derby Lounge. It's a limited menu, but it does include the famous Cobb Salad.
By alternate locations you can easily get to without leaving, I assume you're okay with leaving the park as long as you don't have to travel far. If that's the case, when I just did a quick check there are still some reservations available at
Cape May Cafe at Disney's Beach Club Resort,
Yachtsman Steakhouse at Disney's Yacht Club Resort, and
Trattoria al Forno on Disney's BoardWalk. You can get to all of these restaurants either by walking (it takes about 20 minutes) or by boat.
Hope this helps. Have a magical vacation!
Diane
