Mega, aber das ist doch bestimmt kompliziert. Nö. Einfach Foto von der Lohnsteuerbescheinigung machen und fertig. Klingt sehr gut. Ist sehr gut. Hol dir dein Geld zurück mit Wieso Steuer. Coming up, we're talking about Quick Service again. This is part 3 out of 4 and we've got some awards to give once again.

[00:00:59] And here's the thing. Is this food at Hollywood Studios that good? Would any of them win these awards if they were in the categories nominated with the restaurants from the other parks? I'm not so sure. But the thing is, you gotta eat at Hollywood Studios. So we are going to tell you which place is going to be the very best based on each award and some answers might surprise you. Be aware that if you have any sort of aversion to eating in the dark. Oh my gosh, eating in the dark. Not dark. I don't like eating in the dark either.

[00:01:29] There are lights in there. Hey there, everyone. Welcome to another episode of the Moms Behind the Magic. I am your host, Allie. I'm here today with Carla and Becki. And we are excited to talk food, talk to each other. It all blurs together when we're all like, when was the last time the three of us were together? It feels like it was a long time. It may not have been, but it kind of feels like it was. It's been a while. 1999. I'm pretty sure that's about when it was.

[00:01:59] 1999. Allie was like four. I was not, first of all. I like that she's an old millennial. Yeah. Or a young Gen Xer or something. Yeah, that's... I got called an elder millennial the other day. Oh. An elder. I've heard that. And here's the thing. That was a great year. And I was not four. I remember many things about that year. I treasure that year.

[00:02:22] And every butterfly clip and double space, half up, half down bun that I wore. And I think what you just said to me was a little offensive. I was in my prime in that year. How old were you really? I feel so bad that I offended you. I was 11. I met Sean and started dating him in 1999. So I was also 11. Are you serious? 16.

[00:02:49] I'm just kidding. I was 15. I was 15 when I started dating him in 1999. You were saying. Right. I was like, we're not the same age. I was in my prime. 16 is pretty great. When is your prime? The 90s. No, but like age-wise. Oh, right now. 30s. I can agree with that. Yeah. 30s was pretty great. How do you feel about 40, Becky? 40. I'm at 42 now. And 42's been great. You know what's interesting is when you get become 40s, you stop caring what other people think.

[00:03:19] I think 30s really feel like prime, but 40 feels like comfort. In my head, I wish I had stopped caring about what other people think. Oh. But I feel like it still creeps in. I don't think that's an age. I truly don't. And it's been since probably 20s. I went through weird years in my 20s. And I really had to not care. But in my 30s, like for sure. Not at all. We didn't know Allie in her 20s. What was Allie in her 20s like? A lot of flannel. Okay.

[00:03:48] Crunchy flannel? Yeah. Like 90s flannel. Yeah. Yeah, like really Twilight. Okay. Okay. Like a little bit Bella Swan with a beanie and really blonde hair. I think we need pictures of this. Yeah. I think we all went through phases. The other day, Becky, you asked if we had any of us because JNCO jeans are coming back. Oh, yeah. You listening out there, did you own a pair of JNCO jeans? And if so, you should totally post a picture in our Facebook community group.

[00:04:17] I always wanted them, but I couldn't afford them or my parents couldn't afford them. But I had the next best Old Navy wannabe JNCO jeans. Yeah. And I wore the same green polo in my wannabe JNCO jeans every day of ninth grade. Yeah. It was bad. By the time I got to high school, the fashion had kind of evolved into where we might be heading a little bit now. And it was like the worst of the worst.

[00:04:47] And I think I've said this before, but it was like the double layered polo, the long lace lined cami. Like, didn't we just talk about that when we were talking about jeans? Yes. Yes. And so that's, you know, I think that's more where we are now. That's for sure where we're getting very close to, if not over there. Yeah, it's coming. So what I'm hearing is, Allie, what you were dressing in high school is what I was dressing my babies in when you were- You dressed your infants in like double onesie polos?

[00:05:17] No, but totally like that lace bottom cami. I could just see Macy in two polo onesies. With her right and left socks on. I'm not, listen, I'm not opposed to other people wearing their socks on the wrong feet. Only I can't wear them on the wrong feet. However, Allie, what year did you graduate high school? 07. Yeah. And Macy was born in 06. 007. Yeah. Macy was born in 06.

[00:05:46] I would love to see that little baby in her gaucho pants and chunky jewelry. She was probably so cute. She was so, she was such a little chunky baby. And her baby choker that gets hidden underneath the baby rolls. Oh my gosh. Yeah, it was probably adorable. When we got to dress 90s to go to Backstreet Boys earlier this year, it really was like one of the best days of my entire life. Aw, I'm sure. I'm sure. It was fun. Okay. Well, apologies to those that are going to have to dress the way they're going to have to dress coming up.

[00:06:16] And I'll take a little bit of ownership for it in my graduating class of 007. But what can you do? Here it is. Here we are. All right. Are y'all ready to talk about food? Yep. We're always ready to talk about food. All right. We're going to do a park three of our quick service awards. We're going to break down the different options. Tackling Hollywood Studios today. A fan favorite, a favorite among us as a park.

[00:06:42] And we'll see where we land on favorite when it comes to food when we come back. This episode of Moms Behind the Magic is brought to you by BabyQuip. BabyQuip.com.

[00:08:42] We are talking Hollywood Studios quick service dining today. As we have done for Magic Kingdom and Epcot, we have more restaurants on our list today than we do awards. So we have seven awards to give and nine quick service options available. So we can only award seven. Once we award a restaurant an award, we cannot take it away and it cannot win something else.

[00:09:06] So we have to feel very certain and that we will award the honors in a random order as picked by a random wheel picker. The awards we're going to be giving, best overall quick service, best value, best theme, best place to sit and eat, best fresh food, best meal that feels like a snack, and best meal worth the wait. The long line, but it's worth waiting for. And then the couple of restaurants that we don't give an award to will fall into our honorable

[00:09:35] mention category. Any questions about the categories before we get started? I know there was some conversation on previous episodes about meal that feels like a snack. I have a pretty clear picture about what that sounds like. Anyone else have questions about that? Wait, I have an idea. Every time Becky says meal today instead of meal. Oh, no, no, no. Take a drink of whatever you're drinking. I'm drinking coffee because it's 8 a.m. Yeah. On a Tuesday.

[00:10:04] But you drink whatever and let's see where we get. Well, this is going to be a problem. Allie, your mug is so cute. I know. Look, why am I like such a brand rep today? You totally are. You are. Okay, but it is very soft and comfortable. I do like this hoodie for courting. I'm right under an air unit. And so this feels really good. An air unit. I act like it's a big... I'm under a vent. Okay. Okay.

[00:10:33] So meal that feels like a snack. I personally feel like I've understood all along. There's been some confusion. I haven't necessarily connected with the confusion. Okay. If you feel good, then... I have some confusion. Nope. Don't feel good. Okay. A place to sit and eat. To me, this could go two ways. This to me can go really great air condition, ample seating. Anybody can go at any time, find a seat, cool off, eat a great meal.

[00:11:00] Or it could literally be like these options aren't all that great. So it's literally just a place to sit and get something to eat. So I think that's for us to decide as we're going, right? Because this was the huge debate during the Epcot episode. Because my argument was that the Regal Eagle was the best place to sit and eat because it had a lot of indoor and outdoor options. But also the live entertainment. And I was factoring other things into why it would be smart to sit here.

[00:11:29] And I believe it was Stacy and Katie were completely against me and they wanted... Connections. Connections or something? Because that has way more seating. There's more seating and air conditioning. And that was like the only thing they cared about. And I was kind of taking it from an angle of there are other factors we can consider here. So I think if you have a nominee, bring it to the table and let us know why. And we can decide for Hollywood Studios specifically what makes the place the best place to sit. Does that make sense? Yeah. I was just hoping to get rid of my category.

[00:11:58] Meaning you want to take it down to six? Or you want to be the boycott and change what we're talking about? I mean, if you guys can come up with one of these options having fresh food... Oh, this is going to be a challenge. Then we can talk about it. It's so hard. No, there's one. There is one. I think there's one. You feel good about it? Yeah, one. And it's going to be in trouble if we put it somewhere else. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. I mean, it's what's true. All right. Should we do this? Let's do it. The restaurants... I said the awards. I don't think I said the restaurants.

[00:12:28] Here are the quick service options. And the nominees for these awards are... Docking Bay 7, Ronto Roasters, Woody's Lunchbox, Backlot Express, ABC Commissary, Fairfax Fair, Catalina Eddy's, Rosie's All-American Cafe, and Dockside Diner. Feel good about it? Y'all like these places? Yeah. I forget about Backlot Express so often. It's actually a decent option. It really is. Yeah, it really is.

[00:12:57] I don't know why it doesn't come to my mind. Anyway, you can go. I like it as well. And I go there all the time for that cookie. I talk about it. I will always bring it up. The Wookiee Cookie. The Wookiee Cookie. There's a lot of good cookies at Hollywood Studios. Have you ever thought about that? There's three... I'm going to digress for a second. There's three really great cookies at Hollywood Studios. Wookiee Cookie, Jack's Num Num Cookie, and the Carrot Cake Sandwich Whoopie Pie at the Trolley Cart Cafe, Starbucks.

[00:13:26] I have a question. Which one is the most fresh cookie? Because that could be a... Well, if it's served warm. I would say it's clearly the... Actually, I don't know. Jack Jack's Cookie. The Carrot Cake Cookie because it has carrots in it. It depends where you're coming from with fresh food. I think they just took those carrots out of the Living With The Land and made that cookie. That's how it is fresh. Yes, really. So...

[00:13:56] That's how Starbucks operates. You know what's good about these episodes is that it's not that we're saying that one of these restaurants is going to have tons of fresh food, but we are going to identify if that's important to you, which one comes closest. You know what I mean? Like, this isn't necessarily... These episodes aren't about saying like, oh my gosh, this is the greatest seating you could ever ask for. No, but we can say, hey, of the options at Hollywood Studio, this is probably the best when it comes to sitting down. You know what I'm saying?

[00:14:26] I hear you. Maybe. It just depends on how far down that category is lying and what we have left. It's true. So fortunately, some of these things can fall into multiple categories. We have to do the Lord's work and find out exactly which one belongs where. Are you opposed to us starting? I feel like you're really delaying. Like you're stalling. I don't know what we're waiting for. You. Stacey's going to kill us if this is two hours. I know. We're going to... I am trying to streamline.

[00:14:52] Oh, I forgot a wheel was involved and I have PTSD from all the times you've cheated. Are you even listening? No, not really. I really said a random wheel will select the category. I said that. And on the outline it says wheel of names. What's in this coffee? Oh my... Okay. Here we go. First award. Why is Allie written on all of them? All right. First award we are offering here. Allie's Fresh Food. Allie's Fresh Food.

[00:15:22] Okay. Fresh Food. And as a reminder, we have to pick from Docking Bay 7, Ronto Roasters, Woody's Lunchbox, Backlot Express, ABC Commissary, Fairfax Fair, Catalina Eddie's, Rosie's All American, and Dockside Diner. I have a nominee. Would love to hear if any of you also have a nominee. Yeah, I have a nominee. My nominee is Ronto Roasters. Interesting. Because they're shaving it from that large specimen that is...

[00:15:51] Shaving what? You know, they're shaving the meat. No, they're not. It's a sausage. Yeah, but the sandwich part has shaved meat as well as the sausage, which you're shaving from that large specimen of an animal that is being rotissaried right there in the middle of the area where you order from. Clearly, this isn't actually a nominee. What do you guys have to say? Well, they do have a... Since you have no idea what I'm talking about. But they have the Zuki wrap.

[00:16:19] Oh, you're looking it up like you don't know what I'm talking about? I was, but they also have the Zuki wrap, which is the... It's grilled zucchini, chickpea and onion slaw, creamy garlic tahini, and fresh cilantro in a pita. Like, that's pretty darn fresh. Doesn't that sound delicious? It does, and it's definitely fresh. Okay. I'm thinking of the breakfast Ronto wrap that has egg, does not have sliced pork or whatever it is that they're really slicing in there. That's not what I was thinking. Fresh. What are you thinking for fresh?

[00:16:48] Honestly, I could say two that have decent salads, because when I think fresh, I think salads. That's where my mind goes. So Backlot Express has a couple good salads, a Southwest salad and something else salad, I think, too. Oh, they also have a teriyaki bowl. So my nominee for this is ABC Commissary. That was my other one. The reason it is my nominee is because they have a chicken club. I mean, a chicken club is pretty darn fresh, right? I mean, you can't really keep those for long.

[00:17:17] They also have two really awesome salad options. They have the Mediterranean salad or the Mediterranean salad with chicken. So the same thing with or without chicken. Yes. They also just have like black beans and arugula farro salad and baby bell cheese as a snack. And you can also get like an alcoholic drink here. Carnitas tacos aren't so horrible. So I think if you're looking for fresher food, I do think ABC Commissary is the place

[00:17:44] at Hollywood Studios when you're trying to eat quickly that that's going to be. So I hear you. And I agree that they do have some great options. I do love that Mediterranean salad. It's probably one of my favorite quick service things to get. But I really see this in two other categories. So I'm hesitant to put it there. I agree. I might take you up on that offer for Backlot Express because they do have a teriyaki chicken

[00:18:13] bowl. They do have a Southwest salad that does also probably have black beans since that was a winning factor for you with ABC Commissary. It has just a ton of veggies. It has a plant based option, a teriyaki tofu bowl. And it doesn't really, in my mind, fit into one of these other categories. So I feel like we would be limiting ourselves doing a disservice if we put ABC Commissary

[00:18:43] in this spot. I agree on that. And the other thing that Backlot Express has, like a Cuban sandwiches just feel fresh to me because they're not going to be like airport sandwiches. And the kids' meals. They actually have a salad as a kids' meal, which is my kids' actually really loved. That's to drink. Drink, drink. Drink, drink. Fair. Fair, fair. Fair. I think I will go with it. This is why this is hard because, I mean, I actually think that there's a lot of great seating at Backlot Express.

[00:19:11] I think we'd be missing a step here. There's not though. And you want to know why? Because... There's indoor and outdoor. Yes, but I sat at the outdoor once and it proceeded to rain and everybody, like the indoor areas are so tight in some of the spots. You can't just go in there and automatically find something inside in the air condition, readily available all the time. Isn't this the former home of the Honey, I Shrunk the Kids Play area? Oh, I have no idea. I never went to Disney World while that was there.

[00:19:40] But that outdoor seating feels like... I think it was over there. Right behind the Indiana Jones Stunt Spectacular. And so they're just... I don't know. When I'm choosing a place, I want to sit. I want to be having great views. I want to have air conditioning. Like this just kind of feels like you're in a corner. It doesn't feel anything special to me. Okay. So Backlot Express for fresh food. And get the Wookiee cookie because it is... I don't think it's very fresh. Among the best. It's great. It's not fresh, but it is great. It's so good. It's fantastic.

[00:20:10] We're sitting. And we're landing on theme. This is going to be hard because I think we're going to argue here. This isn't going to be hard. There's only one right answer here. I agree. You're difficult. Let's hear your nominees. The nominee is Woody's Lunchbox. Oh, no. Because... Woody's Lunchbox is everything themed. You're sitting on baby bells. You're... No, I... This is what I wanted. I was worried you all were going to say... Okay. I'm... Actually, I'm okay with this too because my other one that I want to put here would fall

[00:20:38] so much better in some other categories. So... I'm okay with this. You were going to put Docking Bay. Docking Bay. Yeah. And I thought that's where we were going to fight. But this is... Woody's Lunchbox is perhaps the most themed quick service restaurant in any park. Mm-hmm. Because you're right. The tables, the fence, you know, you still feel... It is prepared to make you feel like you are continuing on. And correct me if I'm wrong, the restaurant itself is the Lunchbox, right? Like you're still shrunk down.

[00:21:09] You're still shrunk down and you're getting the food out of the Lunchbox, which is just a cute idea anyway. And then the food that you're getting is kid lunch but grown-up flavor. Is that... I mean, I think that's a fair way to say it. I like that. Yeah. I like that a lot. Tacho bowl, grilled cheese sandwich. Allie, you said that since. And I just realized, are they like pinning you? I almost said pinning you. Like you're in a play yard almost in that space. I wish it was bigger. There were things I wish that Woody's Lunchbox could do.

[00:21:37] But it's such a fun little place and you're going to find something fun. It's not fresh by any means, but the grilled cheese sandwiches are delightful. Katie loves the Pop-Tart. We can't talk about it without talking about Katie and her Pop-Tart. But the tachos. I think the Pop-Tart is it personally, I think it's a huge disappointment. I just think it's so dry. I don't think it's as good as I want it to be. But the tachos are so good. I've really come to love the tachos there.

[00:22:03] Especially the lunch, like the, they have a breakfast tacho, which I think is great. But the one that we split, Carla, the lunch tacho. So that was savory and really, really delicious. Yeah. This place is always busy. It's hard to find a seat, right? So do mobile order. Do yourself a favor. Mobile order. So you don't have to wait in another line. And mobile order ahead. An hour at least before you want to eat. Also, I think the drinks are really on point for the theming.

[00:22:32] Like an ice cream float. The adult lemonade. The lemonade and the root beer float. Totally kid themed. Totally fun. Just feels like a thing. The lemonade is very refreshing. It's pretty sweet. It is. As I've gotten older, I just can't do the sweet. And I used to love that lemonade. I agree. I used to really, really like that lemonade. And I got it kind of recently. And I couldn't. It's pretty sweet. But it is a great. I mean, if that's your jam. So many of the cocktails at this part. I wish we had a fresh cocktail category.

[00:23:02] And then you put what in it? Yeah, exactly. It's not a sinking. A glass of champagne on Sunset Boulevard. Is that the thing? Doesn't that sound so nice right now? Yes. Oh my God. It sounds amazing. In the sweltering heat. Woody's Lunchbox for theming is a no-brainer. You're getting themed food. Beyond themed tables. And it's an overall great experience. I've really evolved on my personal take when it comes to Woody's. I'm up to. Spinning.

[00:23:33] Third award here. And this is meal that feels like a snack. This is the category that we've really gone back and forth with on every episode. I like it because sometimes you just want to grab something that's going to be filling enough. But it's not going to be a meal that's taking you out for the rest of the day. You know what I mean? Sometimes I eat a quick service meal and I'm like, I'm good. I don't need to eat again. But sometimes you just want something that's going to be grab and go quick, take the edge off, that kind of thing.

[00:24:02] And not that every option on the menu has to fit that bill. But I think if you know you have an option, I think that's really good. So Carla, you had an interesting nominee earlier. Do you want to start there? So I have two. I would say Ronto Roasters. But I don't know. I mean, that is kind of a hefty sandwich. So maybe it doesn't feel like a snack. I could also say that some things in Woody's Lunchbox feel like a snack. I know that's already taken.

[00:24:29] I guess maybe Fairfax Fair might also be an option because it's those grab and go waffle bowls. But to me, the things that are in them are very kind of heavy feeling. I mean, they're bottomed out with mashed potatoes. So I kind of want to hear y'all's takes on this. I tend to think back to our Magic Kingdom episode and talk about home of the hot dog is Magic Kingdom. I tend to think hot dogs feel very snacky.

[00:24:58] And so for that purpose, I think that the Dockside Diner might be a good fit for feels like a snack or meal. Meal. Oh, my gosh. But some of those hot dogs have. Well, drink, drink. They're huge. They have mashed potatoes and macaroni and cheese and bacon on them. Like I just was looking at the picture of the one Stacey was eating. I was like. It's fine as long as you don't ruin it with ketchup. Like ruin it with ketchup. I don't even understand that. She's such a rage baiter.

[00:25:27] She knew what she was doing. I just don't even understand that. I like the nominee of Ronto Roasters here because it's like a snack wrap, right? Even though it's bigger and hefty, you can take it. It can be quick. It's pretty shareable, like pass and eat. I like it for that reason. I also think you're not. Nobody's sticking around Ronto Roasters to eat. Do you know what I mean? You're literally like grabbing it and going.

[00:25:52] Or if you do stop and eat, you're like there for a couple of minutes. Yeah. For those reasons, I really like Ronto Roasters in this category. I'm on board. Ronto Roasters was at the top of my list as well. But the thing about Ronto Roasters for me is it doesn't actually feel like a meal. It feels more like a snack that could be a meal than a meal that feels like a snack. Oh, you said meal twice in a row correctly. But isn't that literally the exact category, Beck?

[00:26:20] No, because you're getting a meal that feels like a snack. And I think getting a Ronto Roaster feels like I'm just grabbing something and walking. That's not a meal to me. I think it feels like a snack. But that's just one thing. A meal is a drink. You're literally confirming that we made the right selection. What are you even talking about? A meal is not just one thing, though. To me, if I'm getting a meal, if I'm using my quick service meal at... We're not talking about a meal. We're talking about a snack.

[00:26:50] What about a meal that feels more like a snack? Which is what I was getting at. Like a Ronto Roaster is not a full meal to me. It is a... It feels like a snack. It is a snack is my opinion. It is a snack. It's not a meal. So it would be a snack that feels more like a meal than a meal that feels like a snack. Well, since that's close, I think we should go with it. I'm on board with it. I totally said. It was on my list, too. Literally lost brain cells. And I barely have any that I'm working with here.

[00:27:20] I just feel like we have to be so careful when Carla's recorded. Like you got to talk and then you can't say confusing things. And then now we've gone around in circles and she's lost. She's like... And now Stacey's going to be like, see, this is why this is a dumb category. What you're saying is that it's a snack. It's a snack that feels like a meal. Not a meal that feels like a snack. But it is labeled as a meal, but it feels more like a snack. So I guess we have it in the right place. I suppose. Can you use your quick service dining there? What's the side you're going to get with it? Are you looking?

[00:27:50] I don't get a side. That's why it's not a meal. That's what I'm saying. Just take out the meal part of your title of the category and just say... Something feels like a snack. Yeah, feels like a snack. Absolutely. I'm on board. That's fine. I just can't get past the imagery that Carla put in my head of shaving things off of a bone now. Like I don't want anything. I'm never going to eat at Ronto Roasters again. Yes, you are. It's delicious. Okay.

[00:28:18] Everybody should eat at Ronto Roasters when they need a quick snack. It's not a meal. Just not a meal. Just to clarify. Because it doesn't come with a side apparently. Yes. This is crazy. Should the magic word be meal? Yes. I think it should. Like M-I-L-L? Spelled, yeah. Spelled correctly or spelled... M-I-L-L is spelled M-E-A-N-E-L. Me? I'm not. Nope. I'm done. I can't say it.

[00:28:46] I'm just Utah Broken. It's fine. Aw. That's like the name of a song. That would be a hit. A country song. Utah Broken. I don't think it would. Utah Broken would definitely be a hit. Yes, it would. Good. Okay. So are we good to go on? Are we like... Are we... Yeah. Yes, we're going. Yes. Spin, Allie. Spin. Okay. Which version of Allie are we getting on the spinner today? All right. Here we go. Oh, jeez-y. That's overall quick service. This is hard.

[00:29:14] You guys are going to say something that I don't want it to be. I'm just going to say. This is the best that there is. So this is really hard. The best overall, there's two of them. Both have ample seating, air condition, and great food in my opinion. Docking Bay 7, which I also would put meal worth the wait, or ABC Commissary. Docking Bay 7 is easily the best food quick service wise, in my opinion, in Hollywood Studios.

[00:29:43] It's like an actual meal. And it's in the conversation across all parks. Yes. It's delicious. It is on the lines of Satuli Canteen in Animal Kingdom with just flavor on flavor on flavor. The theming is there. Everything about it is just perfection. Always find a place to sit. There is outdoor seating. You probably shouldn't need it. You can find a place indoors. Food is fantastic.

[00:30:10] Overall, that is my number one pick at Hollywood Studios easily. I could also say that ABC Commissary has something for everyone. It has great seating. It has great air condition. Is it my favorite meal? No. Is it probably my second favorite meal? Maybe. What are you guys thinking? I think that Docking Bay can fit in lots of categories that are already gone and that are coming, which to me is like, oh, so if it checks every box, it's definitely the best overall.

[00:30:40] And I really feel like it is personally. Docking Bay, I have great experiences eating at Docking Bay. You know, it's always... I feel like it's a little underrated. I don't disagree. Yeah, maybe. Or is it properly rated? Or is it properly rated? I mean, people love Docking Bay. What are your kids eating at Docking Bay? The chicken. I mean, my kids are picky. They're like not eating anywhere, Becky. They have to eat a PB&J. Pasta? Actually, that's not... You know what? That's really unfair. And my oldest daughter listens to this podcast and that's not fair what I just said.

[00:31:09] She eats a lot of different things and she would eat here. She would eat any of the stuff on this menu. She's not big on meat, but like she would explore. And so is my other daughter. Really just my son is a problem. And he would eat a PB&J from somewhere else. They may have him there. They don't. I don't see him on the menu. And so chicken with mac and cheese and pasta. Oh, he'd eat the mac and cheese. Yeah, he'd eat the mac and cheese. But it's not like Disney mac and cheese, I don't think. It's different mac and cheese. It is different, but I think he would still eat it. My struggle here is I want to chill here.

[00:31:36] I love Docking Bay for a lot of things, but the food is not it for me. And it's the same issue that I give you all with Satouli Canteen. And I know you all hate that I hate it, but I can't get past the look of food. And it's something that just I struggle with. And so I want to go to Docking Bay. I want to get a drink. I want to sit in there, but I don't want to eat here. It's just not the place for me. I actually don't want to sit in there for that long.

[00:32:04] Like when we did that day, those chairs are so uncomfortable. We're a little uncomfortable. Sitting on a little stool. And it saved us. It did. But I just think I don't want to point people to say like you should go sit in Docking Bay forever. Like it's not. Okay. So what's your alternative? Alternative. ABC Commissary probably would be my number one choice just because I think it's going to more broadly stroke that everybody could find something that they're going to want to eat there. I know. But is that what makes something the best? Really? That's my question.

[00:32:33] Because in a park like Hollywood Studios where everything is about immersion and theming and leaning in and having an experience. I just I mean, ABC Commissary is what the lunchroom at ABC Studios? It is literally. So listen, we haven't even talked about me visiting Walt Disney Studios. Yeah. We ate at the studios in their commissary. And this literally feels like they picked it up and planted it in Hollywood Studios.

[00:33:00] It feels like you are eating lunch in a studios cafeteria. The amount of seating is great. I've never struggled to find a place to sit. You can get refillable drinks here, like take your drink back up and refill your Diet Coke if you're a soda drinker. It is centrally located. So it's easy to get to no matter where you are. And just think when we're when we're doing this podcast and like so many people take our word for it and they're coming in our community and they're saying all the time, thank you

[00:33:29] for this recommendation. When we're saying best overall, I have a hard time being like, go to ABC. I mean, there is a reason to go to ABC Commissary and Stacey is going to die when she hears this because I know it's her favorite. And it's like, yeah, the food is fine. It's convenient. It's fine. It's fine on every level. Great. But best overall, we're talking quality, theming, immersion, experience like docking bay is that it fits all of that. It also has to fit the bill of everybody wants food there. And I don't.

[00:33:57] And so I have a hard time giving it the best overall when I don't want to eat there. Yeah, I guess I hear a little bit of where you're coming. Obviously, I hear both of you guys and you have to break the tie. The best meal on property is at docking bay. If you're coming from an overall best quick service that somebody is going to find something they want to eat there, any age, any pickiness, then maybe docking bay isn't the right answer for there.

[00:34:25] But is something that's so universal going to be best? Like, because in my opinion, something that is so broad and universal is watered down in some way. So to me, then just go just moving on a little bit farther. What other category would I put ABC in? I guess maybe value. Definitely not. Not a meal worth the wait. Just just. Yeah. You don't need to wait because it's it's always moving. No, I see the clear category that I mean, I don't want to give it away. Obviously, I see the category where I would put this.

[00:34:54] I don't think it's the best quick service on her. I understand. And I feel bad because Becky's like, I don't want to eat at docking bay. But I think well, majority of the people do want to. I really do. And yeah, and I think it's the best. It is the best. It's the best meal. I can be on board just like I will be on board with Satouli Canteen. But just be aware that if you have any sort of aversion to eating in the dark, like my son, he refuses to eat in a place that goes dark. Oh my gosh, getting in the dark? Not dark. I don't like eating in the dark either.

[00:35:24] There are lights in there. It is of dark. It is a dark themed place. And dark themed makes it seem evil. Yeah, kind of. Like very Star Wars-y. And the food looks very different. I can't eat at the T-Rex for the same reason. If you're giving me weird lighting on food or the food looks not quote normal, I struggle with the appetite piece of that. So if that's okay with you.

[00:35:52] This must be part of your Utah broken. I'm in therapy for it. Don't worry. You can't fix that. We can't fix that, Allie. I'll tell you this. Docking Bay fits in the value category because when we used the dining plan together, this was the most expensive quick service meal I could use their credit on. So it's great for that. Putting such a disservice to put it in the value. I'm not finished. It fits in theme. No, I know. You're going to keep going. And going. And going. Check. Check. It fits in place to eat and sit. Check.

[00:36:21] It fits in fresh food. Check. Because you have all those veggies. Because it's coming from outer space. I don't know that it feels like a snack. That's fine. And it's worth the wait. And there will be a wait. There will be a wait. When you check so many boxes, yeah, you're the overall. You win. First overall. Platinum. And the Oscar goes to. That's right. Documentary 7. All right. And Becky can, I don't know. She can't eat. Talk to our therapist about it. Yeah. I'm already actively working on that, but I can't get it.

[00:36:50] Should our magic word today be therapist? No, it's Mil. Is it Mil? No, it's already Mil. Are we going with Mil? Stop confusing the people. So it's M-I-L-L then? Yes. Okay, great. I love that. I wasn't sure if we were serious, but I like it. All right. By the way, you guys can drink two more times. Okay. M&Ms, I am so excited to share a brand new product to the Moms Behind the Magic podcast with all of you. And this one is for everyone.

[00:37:17] Walking on air is the true magic of Pop Soul Recovery Insoles. I know the pain of walking is something that scares a lot of people when they're thinking about tackling a Disney vacation and the theme parks. Pop Soul Recovery Insoles really cushion and help with impact stress. The first time I ever slipped them in, it honestly made me feel like I was walking on air. The cushioning is next level, especially if you're on your feet all day. But what really sold me?

[00:37:43] When I hit a painful spot, I could literally pop out a bubble and instantly take the pressure off. No limping or cutting my day short. Just relief and the ability to keep moving. It's a brilliant design where you can pop the air, slip a pain point in and keep moving about your day. So the long walks, the 50,000 steps at Disney World, they don't have to become a problem for you. I've worn them all day and I've used them to recover after a bit of walking and both times worked. They fit easily into sneakers, slippers and even water shoes since they're waterproof.

[00:38:12] The customization is wild. You can flip them for a smooth feel or you can keep the bubbles facing up for a massage effect. High arches, flat feet. It doesn't matter. You can adjust the support exactly where you need it. It's your product for your foot and your pain. If you're tired of sore feet slowing you down or it's something that's holding you back when it comes to planning for Disney World, this is one of those small changes that actually make a big difference.

[00:38:37] And by using code MAGIC today, you can get 15% off of your order. That's code MAGIC for the best 15% savings your feet will ever have. And let's face it, feet are the star of the show on long theme park days. Head to Popsoul.com, enter code MAGIC and give your feet the relief they deserve. That's Popsoul.com or by following the link in today's show notes. Here we go.

[00:39:08] All right. Look at that value. All right. I'll let somebody else talk. Becky, where do you want to go with this one? Value is a hard one for me because in my head, value means my money's going far. And Docking Bay was a good fit for that. But I don't think that value is the biggest draw to Docking Bay. In fact, if you were like, I need to make my money go far, probably don't go to Docking Bay because it is an expensive quick service meal. Right. It's a great space for your dining credits though.

[00:39:38] So like Allie had pointed out, that was fantastic. So the ones that we have left, right? Fairfax, Catalina Eddy's, Rosie's All Star American Cafe, those three outside of Dockside Diner and ABC Commissary all kind of sit together. And I almost think of them as one restaurant. Yes. But they're not. You have to order separately at each of those places. It's just kind of one common seating. It's a great place to eat, by the way. Right there on Sunset Boulevard. I love it. Meh. I'm looking at the menu for ABC Commissary.

[00:40:08] And the value is actually really there. Shrimp tacos for $12.99. Pork carnitas tacos for $11.49. That Mediterranean salad. I'm telling you, that Mediterranean salad, if somebody is looking for a really good salad on Disney property, this is maybe one of the best. It's $12.99 and it comes with chicken. And if you're using a quick service credit, it's going to stretch, you know, maybe not quite as far as if you use it on like a $17 docking bay meal. Yeah, no, it would be better to do that docking bay.

[00:40:36] But a $12 to $15 meal is a great use as well. Fairfax, I'm just going to throw a nomination out there for Fairfax Fair because those waffle bowls are very big, very filling. They range like $14 to $15, $16. And those, I mean, that's a good use of a credit. So either way you put it, your money is going far, either in credit or the amount of food you're getting. Plus, of course, they do have, that's where you can get some really good drinks on Sunset

[00:41:05] Boulevard's nomination for Fairfax Fair because it's a good quantity of food for the value of your money. Is that the place on the corner that has the waffles? And so to me that there's always a line there. It is. I feel like there's always a line. So to me, that would be a meal worth the wait to pick that up. Like if you're going to see Fantasmic to grab that and then go into Fantasmic. So I could see Fairfax being the one that fits in the meal worth the wait with what we have left.

[00:41:33] I think the value is probably ABC Commissary because it's really good. It's good food that stretches far either in the amount of food you're getting and the quality or in the use of the credit if you're doing the dining plan. So I think for multiple reasons, it kind of fits in the category. Agreed. That buffalo chicken grilled cheese sandwich is my go-to. It is so delicious. Yeah, I like it. All right, great. Doing well, guys.

[00:41:59] We only have two left and we are going with meal worth the wait. And Carla, you already kind of started to talk about Fairfax being this. You want to talk a little bit more about what it is, where it is? Yeah. So basically for lunch or dinner, the options are waffle bowls and then there's mashed potatoes and then there's like all these delicious toppings. I think they have like a buffalo chicken.

[00:42:25] They have a sticky, sweet, teriyaki type chicken, don't they? Yeah. I have to look at the menu. They're all delicious. And to me, like for some reason, there's just always a wait there. I think because they normally have like, they always have a sundae or some type of like ice cream treat in the morning. There's always a wait. The bowls are massive and there is going to be a line and they are very delicious and I think unique.

[00:42:52] This is where you can get a mimosa in the morning. And I'm sorry, but like a mimosa on Sunset Boulevard with that music and the views of Tower of Terror. Like, come on. That's that's peak Disney. That's like the best Disney can get. This feels a little bit like Sleepy Hollow to me in Magic Kingdom. Yeah, that's fair. The line is always long and it's worth waiting in that line. However, you can mobile order just like you can at Sleepy Hollow. Just people overlook that you can order there because it's just a small little hut, essentially,

[00:43:22] that you're walking up and getting. And the other thing I really love about Fairfax is that it is open basically from the time the park opens until Fantasmic. And there's not many places that do that because you can go get Mickey waffles in the morning, which is very rare to find somewhere in the parks to get an actual good breakfast. So go get your mimosa, get your kids Mickey waffles and have a vibe on Sunset Boulevard. What's better? This is worth the wait for sure. And actually, we as a family overlook this and we have a trip coming up. My kids don't know about it.

[00:43:52] My kids don't know about it at all. But by the time this episode comes out, we'll have already gone. So it's fine. But we're not doing any sit down meals on our singular park day. I'm thinking we might hit this because we haven't done it. And those bowls look incredible and really, really filling. Looks awesome. They are. And they're big enough that you can share, Carla, back to what you were saying on the value. I do appreciate a Fairfax for that is two people with a decent appetite can share a bowl and feel full for a while. All right. I think that's a great answer.

[00:44:21] Now, we only have one left and it is place to sit and eat. But we're kind of in a weird position right now. Yep. We kind of shot ourself in the foot. No, I don't know that. I actually think there's good seating. I know where you want to go with this. Well, no, here's my problem. Catalina, Eddie's and Rosie's All-American Cafe, don't they share? They're all one. They do share one seating space. Yes. So I'm like, well, are they both getting this award? Because this is outdoor seating.

[00:44:51] So definitely that needs to be mentioned. This is absolutely outdoor seating. There are covers like for I don't know that they it's pretty shaded. It's very shaded. That's what I was getting at. But I don't know. Do those covers protect from rain? Like are they solid? Some areas do. Some areas don't. Right. And we this is probably the place that my family sits to eat the most often is at these tables because it's usually not that hard to find one. There are a lot. It is shaded.

[00:45:20] It is in the center of the action. It's pretty quick. So I actually feel fine about this being the best place to sit and eat because the vibes are good. The views are good. It's quick. It's easy. I think all that's fine. It doesn't have literally an option for everybody. Yes. It's right between all the restaurants that are right here. We are often not eating the same thing, you know, and that's fine to self-serve easy access like condiment stations, which is great. My kids can run and grab what they want.

[00:45:48] So I actually think that's fine. Not no air conditioning. That's important to say it is outdoor, but it's sharing who gets it because Dockside is no, that's not the best place to sit and eat. It's definitely this area. Dockside doesn't get the best place to sit and eat, but it is very central located. And I could see vibing there. We do sit there often at those tables, but definitely not the best of the best. I think we might have to just say it's both of them because they are literally the exact same dining space. Can we do that?

[00:46:18] Is that cheating? Yeah, I'm okay with that. Is it cheating? We're in charge. I feel like we're in charge and we can say. Yes. Yeah. And Allie, I don't know if you sit here for this intentional reason, but it's overlooking Tower of Terror. Yeah. Like absolutely. Yes. You can hear the screams. And it's a vibe. Often when we're waiting for our lightning lane, like let's say we have a Tower of Terror return time or something, which is often, that's kind of when we'll be here. And so my kids are watching it and they're getting so excited.

[00:46:47] Not necessarily great to eat one of these meals right before you do the Tower of Terror, but it is fun to watch and get excited and anticipate. And I'm all about sitting here. I just think it's a little oops. Perhaps we gave it to both. I think it's fine. If you've been to Hollywood Studios, you know exactly what we're talking about, that this is exactly the same seating area. And typically we've leaned so heavily into sit and eat being about being a place to cool off.

[00:47:14] And I mean, they have fans in the area and you are shaded in most of the tables or umbrellas at some places. But my memories of sitting here are not, I was so hot. Yeah, exactly. You know what I mean? We sit here all the time and I'm not like, oh my gosh, we're so hot every time. Not at all. That's like not even, I don't ever remember even thinking that. Right next to Catalina Eddy's and Rosie's is also a fruit stand that's like a snack space. So even if you just need to grab a snack and find a place to sit, also go chill in this area.

[00:47:43] And the music, the vibes on Sunset Boulevard truly, in my opinion, is the best place to just sit and vibe at Hollywood Studios. Yeah. Okay. I feel good about it. We're going to take a quick break. We're going to do Friend Like Me. And this is the segment that our M&Ms do not fast forward through. They listen and you are joining these communities. We've gotten so many like fun connections. People say that they have joined these communities, followed these friends of ours, and that their social media and internet life is better because of it.

[00:48:11] And I believe it because these are fun people, fun groups, and they're all leaning into angles that I know our M&Ms can relate to. So give a listen. See who you want to connect with. See where you may want to land on social media. When we come back, we're going to review all of our awards. And then we have a lightning lane. If you are looking for ways to level up your Disney vacation, you have to join our friend Maureen at Doing Disney Deluxe Style on Facebook.

[00:49:34] That's at Disney with Jojo on Instagram for your daily Disneyland fix. This is really fun because if you are in our Moms Behind the Magic Facebook community, you already know. And if you're not, you need to get in there. Because after we do episodes like this, people are always chatting. They're always talking, sharing their experiences with the restaurants that we talked about, or asking further questions. Oh, you know, Fairfax Fair wasn't even on my radar. Now it is.

[00:50:03] And you can get further clarification and other people that can share their experiences. So make sure you're in there. And while you're at it, make sure you have your automatic downloads turned on for this show. Leave us a five-star review. Do all the things that it takes to help us keep putting this out every single Tuesday. One of our listeners recently just said today she's traveling for the World Cup. And she tagged us and said, thank goodness that I have my automatic downloads turned on because on my flight, it's already ready for me. And I was so happy to see that. And so glad that we were getting her through her flight.

[00:50:32] And just a reminder that that can be you as well. Just turn on your automatic downloads, give us a review and do the things it takes to help us so that we can keep helping you. All right. Hollywood Studios Quick Service Dining Awards. Do we feel really strong about this? Do we feel like we nailed it? I don't know if we nailed it, but I feel good about it. It's, you know, it's very us. I want to go to Hollywood Studios. I think we did a good job. I think the problem is that nothing here was the clear winner in every category.

[00:51:00] You know, a couple of restaurants fit multiple and that's fine. But I think we gave really good reasoning for why something landed where it did. So for best overall quick service, we were split, but ultimately went with Docking Bay 7, which I do think was the right choice. It's such a popular pick. It's one of the best. It's in the conversation for being one of the best quick service restaurants in all of Disney World. And what other restaurants are in that conversation? It's like Captain Cook's, Pecos Bill, Satouli. I think this is Allie's conversation in her head.

[00:51:30] Captain Cook's is absolutely in the conversation. Are you kidding me? At the Polynesian? Yeah, it is delicious. Those noodles are good. All right. Docking Bay wins it though here at Hollywood Studios. Ronto Roasters took home meal that feels like a snack. Woody's Lunchbox took home the award for best theming, clearly. Backlot Express has best fresh food. The ABC Commissary is the best value. Fairfax Fair is the meal that's worth the wait.

[00:51:57] And then Catalina Eddie's, which by the way, we didn't talk about the food that is offered at these restaurants. Catalina Eddie's is kind of Italian. Little personal pizzas and meatball subs, that kind of thing. Really kid-friendly for the most part for those little personal pan type pizzas. And then Rosie's All-American is like hot dogs and chicken fingers. But the hot dogs are massive, foot-long, chili dog style stuff. Yeah. And that's Zan's favorite.

[00:52:26] She loves that hot dog at Rosie's. So we go over that direction all the time. But when she gets that from now on, I think I'm going to go to Fairfax. And they are sharing the award for best place to sit and eat, which means that Dackside Diner, which is the hot dogs. It's more dogs. But really meal piled on big hot dogs. That got our honorable mention. So because Catalina Eddie's and Rosie's All-American are sharing place to eat, we only had one honorable mention. And I feel good about it. I do feel good about it.

[00:52:54] And I'm actually pretty excited about this conversation because I think so often we talk about how Hollywood Studios struggles with food. However, looking at this list, there is such diversity in the kind of food you can get here. Our conversation, quick service conversation about Magic Kingdom, it was like hot dog, hot dog, hot dog, hot dog, hot dog. This is a good variety of different types of food. And I wanted to plug also Catalina Eddie's. If you're used to eating at the Mama Melrose. Was it Mama Melrose?

[00:53:23] No, what's the? Pizza Rizzo. Pizza Rizzo. This could be a good substitution for what that was. If you liked that. I actually really enjoyed eating there. I'm a little bit sad that it's gone, but I'm excited that we're getting Monsters, Inc. in that area. I'm excited to see how Hollywood Studios continue to evolve in this space. Yeah, I agree. I feel good about it. I like it. I'm excited to go back here soon. You guys want to do a lightning lane? All right. Let's go Carla, then Becky. No, I always go first. I know. No, I'm going you.

[00:53:53] No, you're first. Okay, where are you going if you came in the gate and you're looking for breakfast? I am going to Ronto Roasters. You're going to trek it all the way back there? Yeah, because I'm going to go to Rise of the Resistance because I'm going to have my lightning lane for Slinky later in the day. Yeah, I could see that. I'm going to Fairfax. I want the Mickey Waffles. I want to head towards Rock and Roller Coaster and that direction. Yeah, I'm hitting. I'm also doing Fairfax because it's waffles and mimosas and it's at the front of the park.

[00:54:22] I don't want to trek it all the way back there unless I already have a lightning lane coming up. But honorable mention to Woody's Lunchbox, the tachos, the breakfast tachos. If you are rope dropping Slinky Dog, this is... If you're rope dropping Slinky Dog, you put that mobile order in and you do that. Yeah. 100. Yep. Okay. You have 20 minutes to grab a lunch. You're not eating. 20 minutes to grab a lunch. Gosh.

[00:54:51] Probably, I mean, so many of these places, honestly, probably like Dockside, maybe even that bowl from Fairfax if you mobile ordered it. I don't know. There's a lot of Ronto Roasters. I can't say Ronto Roasters every time though. Yeah. What do you guys think? I'm going to jump to anything that has mobile order and look at what is close by that has a quick bite. No, I'm going to go. I'm going to do Woody's tachos. I'm going to do Woody's tachos. That's a good choice. Yeah. I agree. I'm into those.

[00:55:20] I don't want to stay over there very long anyways. And if you only have 20 minutes, it is an easy thing to eat on the go. It really is with a fork and it's in a little boat. It's easy. Yeah. The only struggle with that is you're not going to get it in 20 minutes unless you early order that because there's not going to be an immediate mobile order for that, but it's still so good. Gotta have strategy. Yes. Okay. All right. You want to escape the heat while eating. I'm going to Docking Bay or ABC. I'm going to ABC Commissary. Refill my soda.

[00:55:50] You want to share a meal with a partner or child? Probably those bowls from Fairfax. Yes. I agree. Or maybe Backlot Express, get a rice bowl or something and then get a Wookiee cookie to split because you can't eat a Wookiee cookie by yourself. It's too much. Yeah. I can. That's a really hard one. I mean, because I really feel like this park is a lot of sandwiches and sandwiches, salads don't necessarily know that that's shareable food. So yeah, the Fairfax bowls, it's a great call out. You could also share the tachos.

[00:56:20] So we just keep going back to those. What about something that leaves you full for hours? I'd say anything at Docking Bay. I mean, it is a legit meal. Or the Waffle Bowls. Those are heavy. Docking Bay, I agree, feels almost like some of those options really feel like full-on dining credit meals in terms of like, you could sit down and order this. Yeah, I agree. And what about you just entered the park and you're hungry? Oh, just entered the park and I'm hungry. That's a hard one.

[00:56:50] I don't know. Whatever's close. Grab popcorn. I've grabbed popcorn right there in the corner of Sunset in Hollywood. Yeah. I feel like every time I just enter the park, I go straight to Starbucks. That's what I was going to say is Starbucks too. It's right there on the way in. Yeah, whatever's close. I'm going to grab that. All right. That was really fun. And it makes me want to go, at a minimum, it makes me want to go to Hollywood Studios. I don't know that it makes me want to eat there because again, I've just always felt like eating in this park is a little bit subpar, but you got to eat while you're there. So you got to strategize. You got to know where to go for the things that you want.

[00:57:20] And I think we really narrowed it down in the best way possible today. And I think the moral of the story is probably get the tachos. For sure. I think that's where we landed. All right. That's going to do it for us on another episode of the Moms Behind the Magic podcast. Until next time, we are sending you fun, love and joy. And we'll see you real soon. So you know how I'm always pouring my coffee while we're recording? Because I keep my coffee hot, like in a thing. And I like always pour it. Well, this one spills really bad. And so this desk mat that I have has little coffee stains on it.

[00:57:49] But today it was extra bad. So I was like, I need something quick to clean it up. And I can't ruin like, you want to see what I've been using this whole time? Bathing suit bra pad. I take them out as soon as, because I got a new suit. And as soon as I get a new suit, I take the bra pad out. So they were just on my desk. They are now your coffee cleaner uppers. I take them out right away because they're so uncomfortable and they always end up like this. They do. It's ridiculous. It's stupid. All right, Becky, you count. Clap on three.

[00:58:18] One, two, three. It doesn't work. On three means you... No, she said Becky. No, I said Becky. On three means that you clap on three. When I say three. Okay, let's do it again. One, okay. Clap on three. One, two, three. Okay, clap after three. Becky and I clapped at the same time. One, two, three. We're together.

[00:58:48] We are together. It might not look like that on Ali's. It doesn't look like it is, but we totally are. This is ridiculous. It's ridiculous is what it is. Do I have to get closer to my mic? Do I have to have the microphone in my face? Does that sound better? Because I'm in my little cocoon. I mean, my brain's empty. Does that sound any better? Because that's the mic really like pointed in my face. Sorry, I totally threw a wrench into your starting vibe. Are you talking crap? No, we're not talking crap. We're talking about... We're going to hear it.

[00:59:17] Hello, hello, hello, hello. Can you hear me? You know what song I have stuck in my head? What's that? Love in a Roller Coaster, which was supposed to be love in an elevator. Have you seen the trend that's going around right now? You probably haven't, Ali, because you're not on TikTok. But there's a trend going around where you like say a phrase and you say it in like angry, supportive, happy. Never mind. Just cut this out then, Stacey. No, no, don't cut it. Okay, so there's... I want to do it. It's a phrase.

[00:59:46] Like, it's a phrase that you say. What's a phrase? What is a phrase? Like, well, the biggest phrase... What's a phrase you say? It's going to be cut out anyways because it says, you shaved your... She's laughing at herself, you guys, and we have no idea what she even wanted to say. Just joking. Don't get your information from me.
