Hi Jillian,
Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel and thank you for your question. Disney’s Hollywood Studios is a wonderful place to meet all your favorite Disney Junior friends – it really is “where the magic begins!”
Jillian, if you have lunch booked, you’re right that it will be with Minnie and friends, not the Disney Junior crew. The Disney Junior Play ‘n Dine takes place during breakfast only; you can see the hours for each meal on
Hollywood & Vine’s website. My family enjoyed dinner at Hollywood & Vine last spring and we absolutely loved meeting Minnie, Mickie, Donald, Daisy, and Goofy; they were all in the most adorable springtime outfits, and I loved the Old Hollywood theming in the restaurant.
If you want to change your reservation, my advice is to keep checking if you find there are no times available at first. In my experience, people cancel reservations as they get closer to their trips (especially a few days before), so if you keep checking you may have good luck!
Since your little girl enjoys the Disney Junior characters, I highly recommend the
Disney Junior Live on Stage show. I will always remember the look of wonder on my son’s face as he danced, sang along, and enjoyed the show’s special magical moments.
Wishing you a magical vacation,
Robyn
