Disney Junior Dance Party! – Animation Courtyard – Disney’s Hollywood Studios

INTRODUCTION

“Disney Junior Dance Party!” is a musically infused, interactive concert, hosted by Finn Fiesta and a DJ named Deejay, who involve you in all the fun, including live appearances from some of your favorite characters and fun music from Disney Junior!

Disney Junior Dance Party is located in Animation Courtyard near Star Wars Launch Bay. 

ATTRACTION

Disney Junior Dance Party — Stars of the Disney Channel’s popular “Disney Junior” programming block, geared to preschool audiences, are on hand to sing and dance with guests.

The show takes place in an air-conditioned theater, with very few seats. This allows young ones the ability to dance, jump, and move around to the music! 

The party is hosted by DJ DeeJay and Finn Fiesta who “spin in” the stars of Disney Channel’s Disney Junior television shows. They bring Doc McStuffins, Vampirina, Timon from The Lion Guard, and Mickey from Mickey & the Roadster Racers onto the stage throughout the show.

Throughout the show, interactive elements such as confetti and bubbles come from the ceiling, which makes it even more fun for the little ones!

SHOW LOGISTICS

Lightning Lane access for Disney Junior Dance Party! is available with the purchase of Genie+. However, if you arrive 15-20 minutes early during most times of the year, you can usually get into the show. 

Disney Junior Dance Party! is definitely geared to the preschool set, although young school-age children (and their grown-up escorts) will also enjoy it.

The party will be held multiple times each day. Check your My Disney Experience App or Times Guide for show times. 

The majority of seating is on the carpeted floor, however there are a few benches in the back.

This attraction is wheelchair/ECV accessible.

Assistive Listening Devices from Guest Services Can Be Used Here.

KIDS AND CHARACTERS

While there are several characters in Disney Junior Dance Pary, they remain on the stage for the show.

However, Disney Junior Characters are available for Meet and Greet opportunities outside in Animation Courtyard. You can typically meet Fancy Nancy, Vampirina and Pluto. 

Check your daily Times Guide and the My Disney Experience App for times.

INTERESTING FACTS

Disney Junior – Live on Stage! closed Sept. 2, 2018, to make way for Disney Junior Dance Party.

Before Disney Junior Live on Stage, this soundstage was home to Playhouse Disney Live! which opened October 1, 2001. (A revamped version of Playhouse Disney Live! opened in January 2008, with new characters.) That show replaced the Bear in the Big Blue House stage show, which closed August 4, 2001.

Disney Junior Live on Stage retired the characters of Handy Manny and the Little Einsteins when it revamped the show in February 2013.
