INTRODUCTION

Playhouse Disney-Live on Stage! brings the stars of the Disney Channel's Playhouse Disney television shows, geared to preschoolers, together to entertain Walt Disney World guests with music, songs and stories of friendship. This attraction is housed in Soundstage 5 in the Animation Courtyard.

ATTRACTION

PLAYHOUSE DISNEY LIVE! is one of the live entertainment attractions introduced at Walt Disney World during the 100 Years of Magic celebration. Stars of the Disney Channel's popular "Playhouse Disney" programming block, geared to preschool audiences, take the stage in this fun-filled show, with sing-alongs and dance activities.

Since the rehab in early 2008, performers featured come from the following shows: Handy Manny; My Friends Tigger and Pooh; Mickey Mouse Clubhouse; and Little Einsteins.

The 22-minute stage show features visits to characters of each of the shows, hosted by a live cast member, Casey. The scene starts in Mickey's colorful clubhouse, and continues with the characters trying to make the best birthday party ever for Minnie Mouse. In addition to the fun special effects, youngsters in the audience join the gang in singing along with catchy tunes and dancing.

For showtimes and information on Disney's Hollywood Studios Live Entertainment, visit Steve Soares' WDW Entertainment Website.

TOURING TIPS

Playhouse Disney Live! is definitely geared to the preschool set, although young school-age children (and their grown-up escorts) will find it a pleasant show.

Guests are seated on the floor during this show, although there is a line of benches at the very rear of the soundstage.

To be seated near the stage, arrive at the Soundstage at least 10-15 minutes prior to showtime.

This show is approximately 22 minutes long.

This attraction is wheelchair/ECV accessible.

Assistive Listening Devices from Guest Services Can Be Used Here.

KIDS AND CHARACTERS

The Playhouse Disney Live! Characters are not available for Meet and Greet opportunities, but many can be seen in the daily Stars and Motor Cars Parade in Disney's Hollywood Studios. There are other Character Meet and Greet opportunities in the nearby Animation Courtyard. Check your daily Times Guide for times and locations.

DINING

There is no place to dine in the immediate vicinity of this show.
