The Disney Junior Play n’ Dine at Disney’s Hollywood Studios is Permanently Closing

Walt Disney World has announced that the Disney Junior Play n’ Dine character breakfast at Hollywood & Vine will end this October. Hollywood & Vine is located near Echo Lake at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. While the Disney Junior breakfast is ending, the restaurant will remain open. The Play n’ Dine breakfast will be replaced by Minnie’s Seasonal Dine, which already takes place during the lunch and dinner periods.

Unfortunately, characters like Vampirina, Fancy Nancy, and Doc McStuffins will no longer be available at the meal. Here is the official wording from the Walt Disney World website.

Beginning October 12, 2025, Minnie Mouse and her friends will appear at breakfast for Minnie’s Seasonal Dining. Guests dining during breakfast will continue to experience Disney Junior Play n’ Dine through October 11, 2025.

At present, Hollywood and Vine is the only character dining location at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. This restaurant is directly behind Echo Lake, near the park’s entrance. They serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner. This meal works differently from other restaurants. At breakfast, guests meet popular Disney Junior Characters exclusive to the Disney Junior Play n’ Dine Breakfast. After breakfast, the restaurant transitions to Minnie’s Seasonal Dine during lunch and dinner. The theme of this meal changes every few months to represent the season. We have a review of Minnie’s Halloween Dine if you would like to learn more.
