As Disney Springs continues to develop, Planet Hollywood is the latest restaurant to go through extensive renovations. The eatery closed last year to undergo an extensive refurbishment and is now ready to reopen and show off its transformation in the fall. To gear up for the opening, the restaurant is hiring 500 part-time and full-time employees. Available positions include cooks, servers, hosts and more.

The Rejuvenated Planet Hollywood

The updated restaurant will feature rare Hollywood and music memorabilia, a 4,500 square foot video wall, a nightly DJ playing Top 40 and classic favorites and an outdoor patio with live entertainment. Celebrity chef Guy Fieri designed a new menu for the venue, creating exclusive entrees for customers.

The new restaurant will serve as Planet Hollywood’s flagship location, acting as a showcase for the brand. The new design fits into Disney Spring’s new look and feel and the patio overlooks Disney Springs’ Town Center.
