Ah, Planet Hollywood at Disney Springs—where the glitz of Hollywood meets the heart of Orlando. A dining experience that brings stars, food, and fun together in the most fabulous way possible. Now, I’m no stranger to this place. In fact, the Saucy Family (that’s me, the Queen, the Saucy King, and of course, the Saucy Prince) dines here regularly. And while our visits can be a bit of a mixed bag, there’s no denying that Planet Hollywood holds a special place in our saucy hearts.
So, buckle up, my saucy followers, because it’s time for a royal review of Planet Hollywood, and trust me—it’s as fabulous as it sounds.
Let’s get straight to the good stuff, shall we? Every time we visit Planet Hollywood, without fail, I—The Queen—always order the Chicken and Broccoli Pesto Pasta. It’s my go-to, my comfort dish, my culinary safety net. It’s hearty, it’s flavorful, and it never disappoints. Well, most of the time.
Ah, but here’s the twist—my Saucy Prince, God bless him, hates Parmesan cheese. Hates it. If I forget to request that the cheese be left off, I’ve got a full-blown crisis on my hands. You see, the moment those little cheese flakes land on his plate, I have to engage in a stealthy mission to mix them in before he sees them. I’ve been known to perform some rather impressive maneuvers, all to avoid a mini meltdown. It’s just one of the many royal duties a Queen must endure—sacrificing flavor for the sake of a peaceful dinner. Ah, the things I do for family harmony!
But aside from the occasional cheese debacle, this dish is a winner. The pesto sauce is rich and creamy, the chicken tender and flavorful, and the broccoli adds a lovely bit of freshness to the dish. It’s the perfect balance of hearty and healthy—ideal for a Queen who doesn’t mind a bit of indulgence with her greens.
Now, let’s talk about the Saucy King. He’s a man of simple tastes—ribs being one of his all-time favorites. And let me tell you, when the ribs are on point, they’re fit for a royal feast. We’re talking tender, fall-off-the-bone goodness. The kind of ribs that make you feel like you’re dining with the gods of flavor.
But, my dear readers, there’s a problem. These ribs? They can be inconsistent. One visit, they’re perfect—meaty, succulent, and practically melt in your mouth. The next? Tough and dry as a royal scone. It’s enough to make even the King question whether he should stick to his trusty Stella lager and skip the ribs altogether. A little consistency would go a long way, Planet Hollywood. The King deserves better, and frankly, so do the rest of us.
So, Planet Hollywood, listen up—if you can just nail down the quality of those ribs, you’ll be at the top of the Saucy Family’s dining list. Inconsistency is the only thing holding these babies back from a full-on royal crowning.
Now, let’s get to the fun part—the entertainment. I’ll admit, I’m not one to shy away from a little karaoke-style fun, and Planet Hollywood offers plenty of opportunities to belt out your favorite tunes. As you can imagine, the Saucy Prince is always the first to get into the action. He’s got the energy and enthusiasm of a pop star, and he’s usually up there, microphone in hand, living his best life and singing his heart out.
The Saucy King, on the other hand? Well, he’s a little more reserved—until he’s had a couple of Stellas. Then, the man is singing like nobody’s watching. It’s a transformation, really. The drinks flow, and suddenly, he’s ready to serenade the crowd. As for me? Oh darling, I’m always game. They’ve got the lyrics on the screen for a reason, right? And besides, who could resist an impromptu performance when the crowd is so inviting? I mean, come on—it’s all part of the royal experience.
Ah, the drinks—another royal necessity! As you may have guessed, I’m partial to a good Rosé, and I’m happy to say that Vanderpump Rosé is a regular on the Planet Hollywood drink menu. It’s not quite my usual go-to Coates du Provence, but it does the trick. It’s light, crisp, and sippable, making it the perfect pairing for all the decadent dishes we’ve been indulging in. A few glasses of this, and I’m feeling right at home, ensconced in my royal seat.
As for the Saucy King, his drink of choice is, as always, his beloved Stella Artois. It’s practically his signature drink at this point. While he’s partial to the lager, I’ve noticed he has a penchant for the occasional Krombacher if he’s feeling adventurous. But let’s be real, folks—Stella is his true love. Meanwhile, the Saucy Prince? His go-to drink is a jug of water. Yes, water. I don’t know when he started thinking he was Cristiano Ronaldo, but at this point, he insists on hydrating like an athlete before tackling his meal. A true prince, no doubt.
Okay, my dear followers, here’s a little Saucy tip that’s not on the menu: take a stroll around the restaurant. Seriously, it’s a mini museum of Hollywood memorabilia. You’ll find everything from iconic costumes to jaw-dropping movie props scattered throughout the restaurant. I’ll never forget the first time I brought the Saucy King here. The moment he laid eyes on Rocky’s iconic boxing gear, he practically squealed. It’s a fun distraction between bites and a wonderful way to pass the time while waiting for your next course. Who doesn’t want to pretend they’re a movie star for a few minutes? I certainly do.
Now, let’s talk about the price. In my humble royal opinion, the prices at Planet Hollywood are fair for the experience you get. The food is decent, the entertainment is top-notch, and you’re dining in the heart of Disney Springs. But just a heads up, like most places in Orlando, you’ll want to make sure you ask for your food piping hot. No one wants a lukewarm plate when they’re out for a night of fun and indulgence.
So, what’s the final verdict on Planet Hollywood at Disney Springs? 7/10, my dear friends. The food is decent, the entertainment is fun, and the experience is certainly worth it. However, those inconsistent ribs keep it from reaching the level of perfection that would make it a regular in our royal rotation. If they can get those ribs to stay on top of their game, they’ll have the Saucy Family’s full support.
Until then, I’ll happily keep singing my heart out and enjoying my Rosé—with just a hint of saucy charm.
Stay Saucy, Saucy Meal Queen 👑💋
