Attention fans of "American Idol": this year's recently crowned winner, Scotty McCreery, will be coming to Disney Hollywood Studios on Memorial Day. The festivities, including a "gala motorcade," will begin at 10 a.m. tomorrow (May 30).

Hollywood Studios Character Meet-and-Greets Delayed

Last month, we told you about new character meet-and-greets coming to Hollywood Studios. We've recently learned a couple of those character greeting opportunities have been pushed back.

First, Phineas and Ferb were originally planned to make the jaunt to Hollywood Studios in mid-May. Due to some confusion about the duo's school schedule (they won't be finished until the end of May), their movie-themed greeting experience will be delayed a few more weeks.

25 Percent Off Dining at Walt Disney World and Disneyland

Who doesn't like saving time and money, especially when it comes to dining at the Disney parks? Back by popular demand is a voucher good for 25% off of select quick-service restaurants at both Disney World and Disneyland during the busy week of April 17-23, 2011.

This week, one of the busiest in the parks, can make for long waits during peak dining times; the voucher encourages diners to eat on "off" or "down" times for lunch and dinner. The fine print? You must purchase an entree and also must eat before 11:30 a.m. for lunch or between 3:00-4:30 p.m. for dinner.

The Earffel Tower was one of the first icons of Disney's Hollywood Studios when it opened back in 1989 as Disney-MGM Studios. The tall structure on the Park's back lot, stands a proud 130 feet high and is capped with one gigantic pair of Mickey Ears. It was meant to pay homage to the water towers found on studio backlots during the early days of Hollywood.

Four Fantastic In Park Breakfasts at Walt Disney World

When talking about Disney Dining there's often a big focus on what's for dinner, sometimes we tend to forget that there are other meals in the day. At heart, I'm a breakfast girl, and some of you out there may be as well, after all "they" say it's our most important meal. I love all sorts of breakfast foods, and with late nights at the park my family tends to sleep in and often we don't even get out of the room before 10:00am.
