Today we dive into one of Magic Kingdom's most overlooked dining spots: The Plaza Restaurant. Is it a hidden gem, or just forgettable? Connie and Bruce break it all down — from the location confusion to surprising food quality, hilarious Patreon comments, portion sizes, and what dessert you absolutely should (or shouldn't) order.

We also shout out our sponsor, Relief Band, and explore why you might not need it if you're eating here — but definitely will for Space Mountain.
