Is Jo Jo's Circus at WDW's Playhouse Disney?

[Cellthing]

I heard that Jo Jo's Circus replaced Rolie Polie Olie in the Playhouse Disney show at Disneyland, but has it replaced RPO at DW yet? Am I even right about the Disneyland part? Even though we like Jo Jo's Circus, I think my girls enjoy RPO better. Just trying to be prepared for our upcoming April trip. Thanks

Disneyland's Playhouse Disney started JoJo performances on March 13. JoJo will start appearing at MGM soon, but I don't believe they've released a solid "premiere date" on it yet.

Hi Cellthing,

This is from last week's mouseplanet.com WDW Update:

Playhouse Disney - Live on Stage! – closed April 4–10 for show change-out. A JoJo's Circus segment will replace the Rolie Polie Olie segment.

Oh no! Not Rolie Polie Olie! That is my DS's absolute favorite show! He loved that part of the show last year!!! He is going to be heartbroken when we go & he can't see the real Olie.

 

[TSirgey]

My dd is going to be sooooo excited to see Jo Jo! She was Jo Jo for Halloween last year and she absolultely loves that show.

 

[jckdisneybound]

Oh no, not Olie! DD will be so disappointed. Not to upset the Pooh fans, but there plenty of places to see Pooh. That was the only place to see Olie. Pooh isn't even "Playhouse Disney" Bummer....

 

[impsmom]

Oh no! Not Olie. My kids are going to be disappointed. He's one of their favorites. None of them really like JoJo.
What characters are in the Playhouse Disney show?

So it looks like our April 23 trip will be with Jo Jo. I really prefer RPO but guess I can't say anything until I have seen the show with Jo Jo. I think my 1 year old with enjoy either. Thanks for the update. Can't wait to hear from those who go after the 10th to see if the show changed for sure and what it was like. My DD's love the show no matter.

Bye Rolie, hello Jo Jo...

my DD (20months) will be big on the Jojo replacement. This Playhouse Disney show might be her favorite attraction in any park...

My son absolutely LOVES Bear In the Big Blue House. For those of you who have been to see the show live, how long (approx) is the show in total? Also, how long is the "Bear" segment?

It looks amazing live. My son is two and he's never seen any live show. I'm sure we'll have a blast.

The show is probably 20 minutes or so, and Bear is in the beginning and end. He gets the most stage time.

It's such a great show...I'll be anxious to hear how everyone likes the new version (whatever it may be)!

Oh I sure hope so! I can deal without Pooh. He is everywhere in Disney World! But the Playhouse Disney show is the only place to see Rolie Polie Olie!

I wish that were the case, but I'm not sure I agree. Everything I've read says that Jojo replaced Rollie Pollie Ollie and DL and I have a hard time believing that they produced a different show for each park.

Hi Matt,

I'm not trying to be difficult (and since I have teenagers it doesn't matter to me!) but this is from the most recent update (March 28) on mouseplanet.com:

Playhouse Disney - Live on Stage! – closed April 4–10 for show change-out. A JoJo's Circus segment is replacing the Rolie Polie Olie segment. The show returns with newly installed Fastpass machines to replace the manually distributed system currently in place.

If they are adding FP then I'm I never understood how they expected toddlers to stand and wait in long lines for this show.

I think JoJo will be a nice addition to the show.

I had heard a while ago that it was "The book of pooh" segment that was being replaced - but when there was so much confidence here that it was RPO I believed it. (I'll always believe disney will add/keep Pooh - they seem obcessed with that character!)

However, I just watched the new "vacation planning" DVD and they specifically said that at the Playhouse Disney show you could see "Bear in the big blue house, Roly Poly Ollie, Stanley and other Playhouse Disney favorites". Since this is a brand new video make for the "Happiest Cellebration on Earth", I suspect RPO is staying and Pooh is gone since they specifically listed (and showed) RPO and there wasn't any mention or sight of Pooh.

pdarrah (sorry for the spelling errors - is there any way to spell check here on the DIS?)

I also heard the it was Pooh and not rpo from another board. Anyone have the real goods?

 

[Samirella]

Jojo will replace the Pooh characters, not Rollie Pollie Ollie

Incorrect. Rollie Pollie Ollie is what is being replaced.

Has anyone been to Playhouse Disney since it reopened on the 10th? Which segment did JoJo's Circus replace?
