For Hollywood Studios, the hours are from 9:30PM – 12:30AM, and again, you can get in starting at 7PM.

    • In World Showcase there are a lot of options, of course, but one that piques my interest is in China, the Pan-fried Chicken Dumplings with house-made sweet and spicy sauce, and the Crispy Duck Bao Bun with hoisin sauce!
      
    • Lastly, don’t forget about our favorites in Canada: The Cheddar Cheese and Bacon Soup served with a pretzel roll and the Filet Mignon with mushrooms, Boursin Garlic & Fine Herbs mashed potatoes, and Boursin Garlic & Fine Herbs butter!
