Brown Derby Hollywood

When you go to Hollywood, that is Disney’s Hollywood Studios, you need to eat at The Brown Derby restaurant. But to appreciate Disney’s Brown Derby restaurant, we need to learn about the original Brown Derby Hollywood.

The Brown Derby was the name of a chain of restaurants in Los Angeles, California. The most famous of these was shaped like a man’s derby hat, an iconic image that became synonymous with the Golden Age of Hollywood. The chain was started in the 1920s.

Hollywood Studios restaurants

When Disney decided to build MGM Disney Hollywood Studios theme park, which was the original name before became just Disney’s Hollywood Studios, it needed themed dining places.  The Hollywood studios restaurants needed signature dining that said this is Hollywood. 

Disney’s Brown Derby

What says Hollywood, like the iconic Brown Derby restaurant. How did Disney’s Brown Derby come to be? The original Brown Derby restaurants had closed but a Disney-backed Brown Derby national franchising program revived the brand. The Brown Derby licensing program began in 1987 with an agreement with The Walt Disney Company for a replica of the original Hollywood Brown Derby restaurant.

Disney’s Brown Derby is so popular that in 1990, the Walt Disney Company entered into three additional agreements for the Walt Disney Movie Studios at Disneyland Resort Paris, Tokyo Disney Sea at Tokyo Disney Resort and Disney California Adventure Park at Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California.
