Hi Jasmin and welcome to planDisney!
There's nothing more exciting than planning a holiday to
Walt Disney World and I know only too well, when travelling with little ones, that meeting their favourite Disney characters is right at the top of the list of must-do's.
My daughter is obsessed with meeting Disney characters and co-ordinates her outfits each day, depending on which theme park we will be visiting and which characters she will likely see there. This can make packing hard work but, we have, however, collected hundreds of super cute photos of her with Disney characters over the years so, on this occasion, I'll let her off.
You're absolutely right, Jasmin, in saying that the
Disney Jr. Play & Dance! will permanently close on September 25, 2025, to make way for The Walt Disney Studios. Did you see the recent
Disney Parks Blog post about this? I'm so excited to see the new animation-inspired area come to life!
In the meantime, Guests can enjoy the "Get Animated" Dance Party with Mickey and Disney Junior friends at this location which is part of the
Cool KID SUMMER offerings at Walt Disney World. Although characters are always subject to change, I have seen photographs of Doc McStuffins there. Fingers crossed that she's got her dancing shoes on, on the day of your visit to Hollywood Studios.
As you mentioned in your question, the
Disney Junior Play n' Dine character breakfast at Hollywood Vine would be another option for your little one to see their beloved Disney Junior characters.
I really hope that you're able to find Doc McStuffins during your October visit. If we can be of any further help with the planning of your trip, you know where to find us, here at planDisney.
Wishing you a magical holiday filled with memories which will last a lifetime!
