After unexpected delays, the re-imagined Planet Hollywood Observatory at Disney Springs finally opened on January 27. The flagship location features a new look and feel with a four-story stargazing observatory, an outdoor terrace and a new burger/sandwich menu inspired by celebrity chef Guy Fieri.

The 5,000 square-foot Stargazer Lounge will be opening soon and offer a beverage menu that focuses on Florida craft beers, including 20 on tap, along with 10 signature cocktails. Don’t forget about the hand-dipped milkshakes and generous sized desserts that are a hallmark of the restaurant.

Each floor of Planet Hollywood Observatory provides a different ambience in order to create an immersive theatrical dining experience. There is a 4500 square-foot video wall that projects images using trompe l’oeil 3D technology as well as an impressive collection of film-making memorabilia throughout.

Chef Guy Fieri stopped by just before opening the doors on Friday:

The restaurant is open for lunch and dinner from 11:00am to 12:00am daily. Currently, reservations can be made by calling the restaurant directly at 407-827-7827 or online by visiting their website.

Whether you come for over-the-top burgers and sandwiches inspired by Guy Fieri or prefer the classic menu, the newly re-designed Planet Hollywood Observatory and its new spaces are sure to impress!

We were at Disney Springs the night they opened.  There were a lot of people at the Observatory, but it wasn't nuts.  The whole opening night was very low key, and I read that one reason was Robert Earl's daughter went into labor and he wasn't there.  Therefore, any "grand opening" ceremony was cancelled or deferred.
