Catering and Retail
The only restaurant is the Backlot Express which is designed much like its Floridian counterpart, giving guests the sensation of dining in a props warehouse. The theme is even continued outside into the seating areas, where benches, lighting and signage are sprinkled amongst the seats. The building is in stark contrast to its neighbour, Rendez-vous des Stars as the building has a untreated corrugated steel shell with makeshift signs. This is quite remarkable considering it actually shares the same building and kitchen as its Production Courtyard neighbour.
