Family Friendly Seminars
Family Time complimentary seminars, lasting 30 minutes, are led by Chef Daniella Malfitano and offers tips and demonstrations on making meal time great family time.
These seminars take place Fridays through Sundays at the Backlot Stage in Hollywood Land at 3PM.
Jr. Chef
Aspiring young chefs get hands-on kitchen experience, as they mix a variety of ingredients to create make-believe treats.
Chef Goofy offers the “supervision” for this fun event, geared toward the 3-11 set. Kids follow a recipe and then swirl everything together. (Warning: Hands will get a lil messy!) And with a little Disney Magic — poof! Participants leave with a wrapped, ready-to-eat baked treat.
The Jr. Chef kitchen is open for fun several times daily in the Hollywood Backlot. Daily showtimes are posted at the event location. Jr Chef is available on a first-come, first-served basis for children ages 3 to 11. The number of participants is limited and children under age 7 must be accompanied by a guest age 14 or older.
