Club Disney
For the Love of

It’s true. When I first heard about Club Disney, a dance club geared towards kids, my initial
thought was “that’s lame”. And I never use “lame” and “Disney” in the same sentence. Then
I just happened to visit Disney’s Hollywood Studios about a week after Club Disney opened
in December.
We had to do the parent swap for Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster since my four-year-old is too
young to ride. I was going to take him to the attraction gift shop while we waited, since that
is what I used to do with my daughter and that is where the ride exits. But then I
remembered that Club Disney had just opened around the corner. If you keep going past
Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster and through the gates near the queue entrance, the building, Sunset
Showcase, is to your left.
So we went. And we couldn’t get him to leave! Why would you want to leave a place where
you can dance with Mickey, Goofy, Chip, Dale, and others? And I was perfectly fine hanging
out for a while so my little dancing machine could try out his cool moves. During December
it wasn’t very crowded at all. There was no waiting; you could just walk right up and dance
with your favorite character!
A DJ plays energetic Radio Disney songs as a variety of characters dance the day away.
Comfortable couches and chairs are scattered around the dance floor and provide a perfect
opportunity to relax a little while the kiddos burn off some energy. It’s also a great place to cool
off or escape a rainstorm while still having a nice time. Club Disney even has a variety of snacks
and drinks! Plus, there are charging stations. Now your phone can charge while you recharge.
This, my friends, is why I’m telling you my secret. I want you to be able to experience this
hidden gem at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. You must not let anyone know about this really
great location! Let’s keep the crowds low so you will feel like a VIP!
