ABC Commissary

Walt Disney World Theme Park in Lake Buena Vista, Florida is the home of four theme parks, one of which is Disney-MGM Studios (aka "Disney Studios" or "The Studios"). This theme park is based around what makes Hollywood great: the glamour, the glitter, the magic. Magic is after all what Disney is known for; it was a perfect marriage. The park covers television as well. The Walt Disney Company has no fundamental relationship with MGM Studios other than licensing their name and content for these theme parks.

Many interesting locales to eat at are recreated in the Studios, from Toy Story's Pizza Planet, to the famous Brown Derby, to a recreation of the original ABC Commisary found in New York City. This is a great place to grab lunch or a lite dinner. The menu changes from time to time, and currently has a middle eastern flair.

One reason a lot of people visit the restaurant is to see television show memorabilia that is rotated in and out on a somewhat regular basis from the most popular ABC televison shows. For example, during Super Soap Weekend, many props from all your favorite soap operas will be found occupying about half the restaurant (and they'll be available to purchase as well).

All during Season 2 of Lost, a few recognizable items have been on display behind glass cases as you enter the restaurant. If you visit, make sure you check both sides of the restaurant as there is a glass case on either side, and they contain different items. There is no telling how long these Lost items will remain on display.

Inside the park, the ABC Commissary can be found on Commissary Lane, which can be found to the left of the giant Sorcerer Mickey hat between The Great Movie Ride and a set of restrooms.
