Since Red Lobster is located outside the park, make sure to have your hand stamped when you exit so that you’ll be able to return again later on the same day. Upon re-entry, enter through the admission gates. Do note that a valid park ticket and a handstamp are required upon your return.

Enjoy the best pizza in the galaxy! There is only one Muslim-friendly menu here — the Seafood Cream Calzone, so we’d only recommend patronising the restaurant only if the other restaurants are full or you’re super hungry! However, it’s quite a fun experience as you can watch the manager, Tony Solaroni, operate the pizza-making PZ-5000 machine while taking lots of out-of-this-world orders. Be sure to catch the fully automated pizza-making system while enjoying a delicious slice!

What makes this delicious popcorn even more tempting is the extremely cool refillable popcorn buckets.

We recommend that you dine at your discretion.
