Peevy's Polar Pipeline is a quick service stand in the [[Echo Lake]] section of [[Disney's Hollywood Studios]].
==History==
Peevy's Polar Pipeline replaced the Lakeside News Stand Newsstand in (we believe) 1996 (although other websites state the year as 1991) <ref> Other website state the year as 1991, but Lakeside News continued to appear on maps until the end of 1995- see http://www.florida-project.com/images/guidemaps/ds/disney-mgm-studios-guidemap-1995-november-05.jpg </ref>) . The quick service stand gets its name and themeing from the 1991 Disney movie "The Rocketeer". In the film, The Rocketeer's sidekick is inventor/scientiest A. "Peevy" Peabody. Peeve's Polar Pipeline this themed to be the inventor's.
Since it opened, Peevy's Polar Pipeline has sold frozen "Coca-Cola Concoctions". In recent years the stand has been operational on a seasonal basis.
* Peevy's blueprints for the rocket back can also be found within the stand <ref> http://land.allears.net/blogs/guestblog/2013/11/where_in_the_world_is_the_rock.html </ref>.
* A newspaper from 1939 can be found within the stand. A prop from the film, the front page features a headline and photo of the Rocketeer <refname= "studios"> http://www.studioscentral.com/column/why-its-there/peevys-polar-pipeline </ref>.
* The other headline on the newspaper is a story about Congress admitting Alaska to the Union <ref name= "studios"/>.
*Also found within the dining location is a banner that reads "Bigelow's Air Circus". Scheduled to begin on the same day that the Rocketeer had his first flight, the circus is where the film's main character dons his Rocketeer costume and saves a pilot in clown makeup <ref name= "studios"/>
