The Hollywood Brown Derby Lounge Sees Reservation Drop Surge

Published September 25, 2026

The Hollywood Brown Derby Lounge at Disney’s Hollywood Studios experienced a significant spike in same-day dining reservation cancellations today, opening up unexpected tables. As of Friday, September 25 at 6:18 PM ET, SupaPark’s live data recorded 15 same-day reservation drops in a six-hour window, which is 4.3 times the location’s recent average.

SupaPark’s live dining-availability tracking (Drop Watch) directly measured these 15 same-day cancellations reopening availability. For context, SupaPark’s tracking shows the trailing-14-day average for the lounge is just 3.5 drops during the same six-hour window.

This represents a rare surge in available slots for a venue that is historically difficult to secure on short notice.

What it means for your trip

When same-day cancellations spike, it opens a window to grab a table at a popular venue without booking 60 days out. The lounge offers the famous Cobb Salad and signature cocktails in a more relaxed setting than the main restaurant.

Because these reopened tables vanish quickly, set a dining Drop Watch in SupaPark on your park day. The moment a cancellation drops, SupaPark pings you instantly so you can grab the table directly in My Disney Experience before someone else takes it.
