TIP

Quiet Counter Service in Hollywood Studios
"If you're wanting decent counter service in Disney's Hollywood Studios, there's a really nice, out of the way open air market in the Sunset Boulevard area of Hollywood Studios that has different options depending on what you want. Most people speed right by there because they want to get to Tower of Terror and Rock & Roller Coaster as fast as humanly possible. Just follow the turkey legs (since that's where Toluca Legs Turkey Co. is)!"
