My daughter - 7 but turning 8 before our trip this summer - has expressed a little bit of interest in seeing the Disney Junior show (just from reading about it). She enjoys watching the Disney Junior cartoons, so she's familiar with the characters, even if she is on the "old" end of things. (Mickey Mouse clubhouse is the show that's on if she wakes up early on a school morning, so I think for her it's still the "special" show she can watch if she's up before mom and dad...).
Her hesitation seems to be mainly as to whether she is too old for the puppet show (she's become very age-conscious recently). It's a little difficult to tell, but I get the impression that it's more about how she would feel around other kids (saying she didn't want to be with only little kids, and didn't want people saying things about her being too old), rather than her not being interested in the show itself.
Have any of you had 2nd/3rd graders go to the Disney Junior show, and if so, were they way out of range of most of the other kids and/or were they bored with the show? It has been some time since we've been - my older daughter was not interested last time around, and this younger one was too young and not familiar with it, so we skipped it. I'm trying to figure out if it's something to try to steer her away from, or if we ought to try to make it a point to allow her to go.
