Hollywood Brown Derby Logs 15 Table Drops in 6 Hours
Published October 13, 2026
Live now: The Hollywood Brown Derby availability
The Hollywood Brown Derby at Disney’s Hollywood Studios is shedding same-day reservations at an unusual rate, according to SupaPark’s live dining-availability tracking. The signature restaurant logged 15 same-day reservation drops — cancellations that reopen a bookable slot — in the last six hours, 3.4 times its trailing-14-day average of 4.4 drops in the same six-hour window.
That figure is current as of Tuesday, October 13 at 4:32 PM ET, measured by SupaPark’s own Drop Watch tracking, which counts real reopened reservation slots rather than estimating demand.
The comparison window matters: 4.4 drops is what this restaurant normally releases across a six-hour stretch, so today’s count is not a small fluctuation. It is a same-day pattern, meaning the openings are for tables tonight, not for future dates.
SupaPark’s tracking measures availability only. It does not identify why reservations are being released, and nothing in the data points to a change at the restaurant itself.

What’s not confirmed
Disney has not announced anything about The Hollywood Brown Derby, and there is no indication of an operational change, menu change, or closure. The cause of the elevated drop rate is unknown, and SupaPark’s data does not forecast how long the pattern will hold or how many of today’s reopened slots are still unbooked at any given moment.
What it means for your trip
- If you are in Disney’s Hollywood Studios today and wanted this restaurant, check My Disney Experience for a same-day table now rather than assuming it’s full — The Hollywood Brown Derby is normally a hard reservation to get, and 15 reopened slots in six hours is a genuinely better-than-usual shot.
- Reopened same-day slots get claimed fast, often within minutes, so search in the app, book immediately, and be flexible on party size and exact time.
- A SupaPark dining Drop Watch on The Hollywood Brown Derby will alert you the moment a table reopens; you then book it yourself in My Disney Experience.
- If nothing opens for your party, the adjacent Hollywood Brown Derby Lounge serves the restaurant’s best-known dish, the Cobb Salad, without a reservation — the standard workaround for this specific restaurant.
- Guests arriving later in the trip should still book at the 60-day mark at 6:00 AM Eastern. Today’s surge is a same-day pattern and says nothing about advance availability for your dates.
