JoJo and friends - question

[brymolmom]

Hi - This is a question for anyone who has been recently with young children. I believe I read that Playhouse Disney Live at MGM now includes JoJo (from JoJo's Circus). Is this true? Can you also tell me is the character JoJo or others from that show seen around the parks? Is it only at MGM that we might see them or might they be elsewhere?

My 3 and 2 year olds are HUGE JoJo fans. But we've only scheduled a trip to MGM for a half day on our last day to visit (we leave in 2.5 weeks! ). Because I have found very little that interests my kids there other than the Playhouse Disney live show, so I figured one half day would be enough there. Anyway, I know they would love to see the JoJo characters and I am worried about leaving it until the last day and might schedule another half day for earlier in the trip if MGM is the place to go for them.

Thanks for any information you can offer on this.

Went to MGM in May. Right after we got out of Playhouse Live we went down a little street and there were trailers with signs. Jo Jo and Goliath were there. My DD had such a great time with her! She also loves Stanley but I think you can only see him at AK.

IMHO you may want to think twice about the time you have alloted for MGM. It is always one of the kids (and my) favorites. They LOVE PH Disney, the Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, and the Muppets (they even like the Great Movie Ride- just cover their eyes in Alien part!!). It is also a great park for character interaction! There is always a ton of characters in the courtyard area in the afternoon and they are also on Mickey Ave too. You can even go in and see Mickey in his Sorcerer gear! My son also loved Fantasmic when he was 3 years old. He is ADHD and he didn't move a muscle-- he was absolutely mesmerized. It is a great park!!

My DD also loves JoJo and Goliath. Just a suggestion... if you get to MGM early, check the guidemap for the first JoJo meet and greet of the day. When we went back in February, we went to the first meet and greet and there were only 2 little girls ahead of us and no one behind us. JoJo and Goliath spent about 15 minutes alone with her, dancing and hugging and she was petting Goiliath. It was great. The WDW photographer took about 15 pictures of them...of course we bought them all!!! However, they are there a several times throughout the day, so you have several opportunities to meet them. Have fun!!!
