News Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

[TrainsOfDisney]

Prepare your will. I've never had a good meal there.

But it looks like a retro employee cafeteria from the 90’s! So immersive!

I agree, I stopped giving it any more chances long ago.

DHS’s QSR was carried over the line into “good” by Commissary in recent years and I’ll die on that hill.

Commissary is pretty good, it's been our go to because the whole family can get something. However, QS is good at DHS because of the SWGE additions imo.

The ridiculous seating in SWGE keeps me away.

Fair. But I love Ronto Wraps.

At least we've brought the food service discussion back to DHS...

It's amazing that they bilk patron's on refill charges when Coke supplies Disney with free coke to sell....

They don’t actually give it to Disney for free. This is a misconception.

Have you seen the contract?

Often a sponsorship includes certain things for free. Maybe it’s just the syrup. Maybe it’s the machines and maintenance. Maybe it’s the cups and lids. But it’s usually something.

They don't get it for free, but they do get it at a large discount due to the agreement to only sell Coke products in the parks.

The reason I know this is because the movie theater I worked at has the same agreement. Coke is in that same agreement with multiple businesses. The difference with Disney, and the reason their particular agreement is so complex, is the fact that they're also in bed with each other on branding and tie-ins which is not a factor in most of the other relationships Coke has with massive corporations. I would not be surprised if that factor of their relationship means Disney gets an even larger discount than other businesses.

But they do indeed pay for it. Coke is notorious for their bean counting, maybe even more so than Disney is.

This.

We were surprised how much better it was there the last few trips.

The Commissary was always the worst food in the park... Glad to hear that it is getting better....

Having worked in the park for 4 years and visited as a guest nearly 100 times, it's the one QSR I've never eaten in. I never could understand the appeal other than the Amazing Air Conditioning.

What more do you need during the 6 month summer?

Also, free soda refills!

 

[rle4lunch]

Free enough not to charge $6.50 for a bottle of Dasani... Or $20 for a refill mug that's only refillable in a resort where it's costing the company pennies on the dollar to maintain. The 1000% markup on fountain drinks is probably their 2nd biggest money maker under Genie (this is semi-sarcasm, I have no financial reports to back this up)....

The Mediterranean salad with chicken and hummus at ABC is arguably the best quick service meal on property

I'm partial to the Buffalo Chicken Grilled Cheese myself

Last summer I didnt know the resort mugs were only allowed to be filled at the resort. I was filling that thing left and right around wdw. No one said a thing. Great value I kept saying to my family.

Again, we don’t know what the Disney agreement is. A tourist attraction I worked at years ago got free machines and free servicing but still paid for syrup and cups.

Each agreement is unique.

According to me, my 2019 WDW resort mug works at every Wendy’s here in CT. They installed Freestyle machines. I have to believe that means I can use my mug. Great for the slushies at Target, too.

No one ever bothers me when I fill up my normal thermos with ice cold water either
