Welcome back to the DIsney Parks Moms Panel, Bonnie! This is a great question! My family has experienced Disney Junior Play ‘n Dine at Hollywood & Vine and thoroughly enjoyed the festive atmosphere, character interaction, and fantastic breakfast! At this time, guests can meet June from Disney's Little Einsteins, Jake the Neverland pirate, Handy Manny, and Special Agent Oso for a fun-filled Character Dining Experience at this location. Your grandson will love being greeted table side by
Disney Junior friends while enjoying a delicious meal. I have always felt Character Dining Experiences were worth the additional expense because it ensured my children had intimate time with each character while being able to take photos and receive autographs without having to wait in any lines.
I think you will find the DIsney Junior - Live on Stage! show to be equally exciting, but very different from a Character Dining Experience. Disney Junior - Live on Stage! is a 24-minute interactive show featuring
Disney Junior pals from
Mickey Mouse Clubhouse,
Sophia the First, Doc McStuffins, and
Jake and the Never Land Pirates.
Little Einsteins is no longer featured in Disney Junior - Live on Stage! You will not have the opportunity to have photographs taken with the characters at Disney Junior - Live on Stage! I would personally recommend both of these memorable experiences for your grandson! Guests can make Advanced DIning Reservations for Character Dining Experiences 180 days in advance by calling (407) WDW-DINE or by
going online here. I hope this information helps in making your decision. Please don't hesitate to write me back if you have any additional questions that I can assist you with. Best wishes for a
magical trip, Bonnie!
Happy Planning,
Jodie
