Disney Junior Live on Stage

New Characters To Join ‘Disney Junior – Live on Stage!’

Youngsters visiting Disney’s Hollywood Studios® and Disney California Adventure® Park will be excited to hear that characters from two new shows will soon be added to the Disney Junior – Live on Stage! show.

The change, which is set to debut at Disney’s Hollywood Studios® in mid-February and Disney California Adventure® Park in March, will replace “Little Einsteins” and “Handy Manny” with “Doc McStuffins” and “Sofia the First.” Both “Mickey Mouse Clubhouse” and “Jake and the Never Land Pirates” will remain part of the show.

At this time, no dates have been officially announced as to when the attractions will close for the refurbishment.

Meet Jake from Jake and the Never Land Pirates

Jake and the Never Land PiratesLittle fans of  “Jake and the Never Land Pirates” now have the opportunity for some swashbuckling fun at the Disney Parks! Jake, from the popular Disney Junior show, will begin greeting guests this month at both the Disneyland® Resort and the Walt Disney World® Resort.

Starting today (November 13), Jake will be making regular appearances at Disney’s Hollywood Studios™ at the Walt Disney World® Resort. He joins Handy Manny, Special Agent Oso and June from “Little Einsteins” at the Disney Junior Play ‘n Dine at the Hollywood & Vine restaurant on Disney’s Hollywood Studios‘ Hollywood Boulevard. Guests at the character dining experience will be able to get into the action by swabbing the deck, rowing the boat and shouting “yo ho” to songs from the show, including “Roll Up the Map,” “Hot Lava” and “Talk Like a Pirate.”

Jake will join the Stars of Disney Junior at their meet and greet location in the Animation Courtyard. In order to make way for Jake, the Little Einsteins will no longer appear at that location.

Jake fans visiting the Disneyland® Resort will also be able to meet their favorite little pirate beginning November 20, along Hollywood Boulevard at Disney California Adventure® park.

Guests visiting both parks can also see Jake, Izzy, Cubby, and Skully as the sneak up on Captain Hook and Mr. Smee at the Disney Junior- Live on Stage show.  The little pirates from Jake and the Never Land Pirates join Mickey and gang, the Little Einsteins, and Handy Manny and his tools in this fun, interactive show geared just for preschoolers.

Be sure to check daily entertainment guides for show times, character greeting times and locations.  Talk to your Magic Maker® about making a reservation to eat with Jake, Handy Manny, Oso, and June at the Disney Junior Play ‘n Dine.  Characters appear at the Hollywood & Vine restaurant for breakfast and lunch.

Disney Junior – Live on Stage

Disney Junior - Live on StageAs parents of a preschooler, we are very familiar with Disney Junior!  Our three year old daughter has always loved heading to Playhouse Disney – Live on Stage at Disney’s Hollywood Studios™ (or in Disney California Adventure®) and now we can’t wait to check the updated show, Disney Junior – Live on Stage.  She loves jumping up off the floor to dance, clap, catch bubbles.  It is the perfect place to go for energetic preschoolers!

This 24-minute spectacle is geared toward families with preschoolers and takes them on a journey through some of the most popular Disney Junior programming. A host of characters from “Mickey Mouse Clubhouse,” “Little Einsteins,” “Handy Manny,” take the audience along as they plan a surprise party for Minnie Mouse, participate in a space ship race, and fix a bubble machine.

A new scene that was added to the show earlier this month features characters from “Jake and the Never Land Pirates” – a young pack of friends who encounter Captain Hook and Smee during their search for treasure. During this scene, families can help Jake, Izzy, Cubby and Skully, get back their Team Treasure Chest full of gold doubloons.

Don’t forget to meet some of the Disney Junior characters, like Handy Manny and the Little Einsteins, outside of the theater!
