Disney Junior Live

The description is vague online--what exactly is it? Is it just a show or are there characters to meet as well? We have a FP for this--does it just get us a better seat or does that include the character M&G too (if there is one)? MY DH and 10yo DD will be on Star Tours while I have our 2 younger girls here.

The characters appear on the stage.

FP is not a good choice for this show.
FP seating is too close to the stage. Poor sight-lines, especially for little kids.

its a puppet shows of Mickey clubhouse, sofia the first, Doc Mcstuffins and Jake and the nevermind pirates. you sit on the floor and the stage is elevated. if you get in the front the sight lines are poor for kids. i would sit back some so the kids can see better. they have M&G with Doc, Jake and Sofia outside of the building. you dont have to go to the show to see them.

here is a youtube video of the show

It is a stage show. The FP only gets you in the shorter line to enter the seating area. You will be sitting on the ground, characters up on a stage. I did it with my 4 y/o daughter and almost 1y/o. There is lots of dancing and such for the kids, and bubbles! If your kids like bubbles as much as mine, they will love the bubbles and "gold doubloons" raining down.

So, I'm trying to figure out a FP for my little ones in lieu of ST. This was the only thing the older DD and DH had no desire to do. But, sounds like I don't want the FP for this so we can see! Any suggestions? Glad I asked!

you can still use your FP and just not sit as close.

It is a great show for toddlers -- frankly there should be more kid-friendly type of shows like this in the World.

It's a puppet/stage show where you basically get a typical "episode" of a Mickey Mouse Clubhouse show (There's a problem .. they have to solve it).. except it combines several of the other shows into the storyline (Jake, Sofia, Doc) ..

The audience is really close to the show. A unique attraction in my mind and though not quite as interactive and intimate as Enchanted Tales with Belle .. I think it ranks up there for a fun show for the pre-K kids.

Tried it for the first time in August and enjoyed how much my son and the kids sang and danced along to the show.
1) Dont' waste a FP on it .. plenty of seating and plenty of shows throughout the day. I used one and the theater was half full. Even though there really isn't many Tier 2 choices at DHS that you "need" Fast Passes for, we could have used it for something else.

2) Take the kids twice .. my group of toddlers wanted to see it again .

3) Go early (like the first show) so you can spend some time before (or after) visiting the Disney Junior Meet and Greets outside the show.
(NOTE: The M&G characters are full life size ..while the characters in the show are puppet-sized. My son had issues with all the Disney Junior M&G characters. They were just too big and scary for him . (especially with those gigantic heads).

Ok. Thanks for the advice!

You are not forced to sit in the close dedicated spot with a FP. If you show up after they start letting the rest of the people in then you sit wherever the crowd is filling in at that time. I am having a hard time with Teir 2 FP for HS with little kids as well. If I had time with just my littles I would FP this (because there is nothing else that needs it either) just so I can show up closer to show time and guarantee a spot.
My kids love this show. We find mid theatre floor to be a great view.

I ended up keeping it because I can't find anything else that the others wouldn't mind missing, too. So, we'll do just as you suggested and keep the FP for the younger girls and myself so that we have some flexibility in when we arrive.

I am planning on FPing this with my 3yr old while my MIL and hubby take my 10yr old on ToT. We have been to this show many many times and its a very very cute show...my 3yr old loves the show but you are not forced to sit up front and they even have benches in the back older folk that can't sit on the floor

You no longer need to pre-book 3 FP+ per day in a park.

We are going to FP this for my niece. She loves all of these characters. Is it okay if kids yell out during shows? She's 2 and I can just see her yelling Mickey and Princess, that's what she calls Sophia.

But, if we want to attempt to get another (4th) FP for our whole family, we do--correct? On any tier?

resurrecting a very old thread to ask this:
if the toddlers in our group have never seen the disney junior channel, will they still enjoy the show?
or do they need to be familiar with the characters?
