Although you can’t hug your favorite characters in Disney World right now, you can see them during the character cavalcades, and get a more intimate character experience at the few character dining experiences available.
Recently, we had a spooktacular and delicious experience at Hollywood & Vine in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and now Disney has announced LOTS more themed character dining experiences that will be coming to this spot into 2021!
We absolutely loved seeing all of the characters dressed in their very best Halloween costumes during Halloween Dine at Hollywood & Vine. This specially themed character dining event was announced a little while ago, and will be available through November 5th.
We also already shared that Minnie’s Holiday Dine is set to come back to this spot beginning November 6th. This is a special dining event where you’ll get to see some of your favorite Disney characters dressed up in their adorable holiday gear! Disney has now updated the Hollywood & Vine website, providing us with more details about this event. We now know that Minnie’s Holiday Dine will run through January 4th.
But, don’t worry. Once that specially themed character dining experience ends, another one will begin! Here’s the full list of themed character dining events coming to Hollywood & Vine through 2021 according to the Disney website:
Halloween Dine
September 25th — November 5th.
Minnie’s Holiday Dine
November 6th — January 4th
During this event you can “Deck the halls at a dazzling dinner party filled with holiday cheer and the joy of the season!”
Silver Screen Dine
January 5th — March
Guests will be able to “Join Minnie Mouse for a fabulous dinner party celebrating the glitz and glamour of Hollywood” during this special event!
Springtime Dine
March – June
During this event, guests will have the chance to “Shake off winter’s chill with a divine dinner party that marks the bright and beautiful delights of spring!”
Summertime Dine
June – September
Finally, during the summer months, guests can enjoy “Summertime Dine” at Hollywood & Vine “for a beach-inspired bash celebrating the sizzle of summer!”
We love that these seasonal character dining experiences returning. Since the decorations and character outfits will be changing from one themed experience to another, it gives us the perfect excuse to return again and again and visit Minnie and all of our other friends.
If you’re interested in attending any of these specially themed experiences, be sure to get your reservations for them as soon as you are able to as we expect many of these will fill up quickly once reservations for them become available. As a reminder, you can make a dining reservation at most Disney World restaurants up to 60 days in advance, but Disney World Resort hotel guests can make reservations up to 60 days in advance plus the length of their stay up to 10 days.
