FairFax Fare at Disney's Hollywood Studios



On our last trip to Disney World we decided to try something new at Hollywood Studios – we like to try to add a new dining experience or restaurant every time we go. This time one of the new to us places that we tried was Fairfax Fare.

Fairfax Fare is located on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood Studios near to other dining options like Rosie’s All-American Café and Catalina Eddie’s. It is directly across from Beauty and the Beast Live on Stage. The restaurant itself is a simple walk up window where you order and then wait for your food. All of the seating is outside and it is shared with Rosie’s Catalina Eddie’s, but there is A LOT of it. From your table you can enjoy the scenery and the sunshine, listen to the screams coming from the Tower of Terror and people watch.

The Food

If you like classic barbecue fare, then you’ll enjoy the offerings at Fairfax Fare. The menu includes eats like spareribs, chicken, pulled pork, chili-cheese dogs, and a pulled pork salad.

We tried three menu items, the chili-cheese dog, the barbecue pork sandwich, and the chicken and ribs.

The Chili-cheese Dog was massive! We didn’t measure it, but we’re fairly certainly that it was maybe slightly less than a foot-long hot dog. The dog itself had great hot dog flavor and had a nice snap to it, exactly what you want in a hot dog. It was topped with TONS of meaty chili and shredded cheese. The chili was nicely seasoned and paired well with the dog, it was a very good chili-cheese dog. The dog was served with a bag of potato chips.

The Barbecue Pork Sandwich was a standard, but delicious, bun filled with shredded pork covered in tangy barbecue sauce and crisp, fresh coleslaw that was refreshing and cut through the richness of the sandwich. You know your sandwich is a good one when it is messy! The sandwich was served with juicy buttered corn on the cob, which was surprisingly sweet for being out of season (it was February) and tangy baked beans.

The chicken and ribs, like the other two items we tried, was delicious. The ribs, three of them, were coated in tangy, sticky, barbecue sauce. There was a lot of juicy and tender meat on the bones. The chicken, too, was moist and nicely seasoned. This dish was also served with beans and corn.

Everything we tried at Fairfax Fare was delicious. If you’re looking for somewhere that you can get shareable meals in Hollywood Studios, Fairfax Fare is the place for you. No matter what your order you’ll get more than enough food and you won’t be disappointed.

We Used Genie+ for the First Time. What did we Think?!

Back in June my sister, Sharon, and I took a girls trip to Disney World! It was a fun trip, and for the first time since it came out, we used Genie+. Today, we're going to share our thoughts about the experience.  What is Genie+?!  Genie+ is the paid for "skip the standyby line" option that replaced Fastpass+. It debuted on October 1, 2021 on the first day of the 50th Anniversary Celebration. This is what the Walt Disney World website says about the service, " Use the Lightning Lane entrances offered through Disney Genie+ service and save time waiting in line. On average, Guests can enter 2 to 3 attractions or experiences per day using Lightning Lane entrances, if the first selection is made early in the day." There is also a second option, Individual Attraction Selection. The Disney World site says, " You may also purchase individual—or à la carte—Lightning Lane entry selections for specific attractions that aren’t offered through Disney Genie+ service. Pu

Dinner at Royal Court on the Disney Fantasy

We’ve mentioned more than a few times that each of the four Disney ships has three main dining rooms. All four ships have the fun Animator’s Palate that we talked about a couple of weeks ago, as well as a themed dining rooms on the Magic and Wonder (Rapunzel’s and Tiana’s) and Enchanted Garden on the Dream and Fantasy. We’ll talk about Enchanted Garden in our next Disney Cruise Line focused post! This week, though, we’re excited to talk about the third main dining room on the Disney Fantasy, Royal Court. Royal Court, like Royal Palace on the Dream, Triton’s on the Wonder, and Lumiere’s on the Magic is the most upscale of the three main dining rooms. Located right off the main lobby Royal Court is a grand dining room that celebrates Disney’s royal couples. Throughout the dining room there are mosaics of Disney Princess and their princes including Belle and Beast,  Jasmine and Aladdin, Tiana and Naveen, Cinderella and Prince Charming, Aurora and Phillip, Ariel and Eric, and Snow Wh
