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.

Finally, the retail space is virtually non-existent. There is a open-sided truck that sells WDSPgeneric products, but oddly, the Moteurs....Action! related merchandise is currently only available in the Studios’ two main retail stores, the Walt Disney Studio Store and Les Legendes de Hollywood.
A travelling band that would certainly be at home in EPCOT or Tomorrowland!
