Disney Jr Dance Party Questions

[wdwfanatic316]

I'll be taking my DS2 (almost3) in May and remember reading a little bit out the Disney Jr. dance party at HS> If I remember correctly, it's only held during pm EMH, is that correct? Also, can anyone tell me more about it?

Thanks!!!

It was a lot of fun. It starts at the beginning of emh and runs the whole entire two hours. They characters take turns coming in and dancing every 20 minutes or so. I have to say it was one of the highlights of our trip.

you can look up videos on youtube. it did look cute. we were contemplating on doing that with our DD2, but glad we did not. Instead we did Play N Dine for a late lunch. It was perfect because she got to dance with June. They have a dance session every so often and the kids can come up to dance with characters. It was great! It was not crowded and DD2 had June to herself to dance with. She saw Jake, Oso, Hanny Manny, and June. Wish they had Leo still. DD2 would normally sleep 8pm bedtime to 8am in the morning, but at Disney she slept til 3:30, then fell back to sleep til 5:30 and was up most days at that time ready to go! She would not nap, only once during the week she zonked out during Festival of the Lion King. Therefore we had all early nights so that we could get our sweetie to bed. We would leave the park after our about 5pm dinner, so we were back in the room by 7pm and she was asleep 8pm or sooner. I was glad i did not plan ANYTHING late. She would have liked the dance party but i would not want to exhaust her. She still went on much less sleep than at home. Every morning though she was up and super excited so early, to have another disney day. She just LOVED it and soaked up every second. By the last day she was getting cranky b/c the week was catching up with her. If you feel your little one can do it, go for it b/c it looks like such a great character interaction, but be ready to adjust your plan accordingly. My DD2 loved the Disney Junior Live on Stage, which is in the same place. She stood jumping the whole time. Just LOVED our trip. Thought i'd share our experience, hope it helps

Thanks so much for the info! I'll have to go research the play n dine now, I haven't heard of it before. I hadn't really thought about what time the emh will actually be, I need to go check that too! DS is kind of a night owl so I think we'll be ok but we might just have to wait and see. Glad to hear your DD had such a great time!

We did the dance party on 11/13. It was really cute. They played popular songs like one direction and such. There were CMs making baloon hats and animals for the kids. We only stayed about 20 min and saw Jake‚ handy manny, mickey and minnie. We also did Play and Dine at H&V a few days later. We really liked it as well!
