Disney Junior Dance Party!

Posted: Saturday December 22, 2018 1:53pm ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

The new "Disney Junior Dance Party!" is now open at Disney's Hollywood Studios.

Disney Junior Dance Party!

The show for pre-schoolers can be found in the animation courtyard, taking over from the previous "Disney junior Live on Stage!"

Disney Junior Dance Party!

In the show, DJ Deejay and host Finn Fiesta invite everyone in for the party, creating an interactive atmosphere for kids to sing, dance and play along with favorite Disney Junior stars like Doc McStuffins, Timon from “The Lion Guard,” and Vampirina from the hit Disney Junior series, “Vampirina.” Mickey Mouse races in from “Mickey and the Roadster Racers,” just in time for the big finale.

Check out the video below from today's opening day show.

God how I miss Bear in the big blue house and Playhouse Disney. Disney please demo animation courtyard and build monsters inc land!

Hmm....They couldn't even use the Articulated heads for Timon and Mickey.........Lame!

This actually looks like something I would've enjoyed when I was little!

My hope is this, like Up, gets low guest satisfaction scores compared to the previous offering, and they learn from it and don't build anything this vapid again.

Agreed...especially since it’s aimed at getting the kids to move. Not much room in that venue anyways. From looking at the video, looks like it’s going to be a Fortnite dance party.

You mean like a fun puppet show? ;) This looks like a swing and a miss. At least they use more foamheads than Disneyland (er, DCA), no?

So you're the reason why Alien Encounter closed.

Not even 2 minutes in and there is already Fortnite dancing :banghead:

Hey- what’s Hollywood Studios missing? Shouting. We need more shouting.

Now I know where to take my child for their first acid trip. Yikes. Props to the CM though, she's earning her money with that awful gig.

Just skimming through your video, I'd agree. (mostly) Everyone's just standing around. I guess I was expecting to have the characters in the audience dancing around. Obviously not an attraction for me but this doesn't look like it's working.

It seems to me like this show/dance party doesn't really hit the mark in either regard. It isn't a dance party, as the kids quickly lock onto the screens and just zone out. When the characters do appear, the choreography is too difficult for pre-school kids, and they aren't able to follow along with the characters.

They had the perfect opportunity to parody Deadmau5 and blew it! Spin me out Dee Jay! *Is it really that bad? Watched the entire vid. Needs some work but it's fair considering what it is. They need to streamline the script and make more interactive. Quick Fix: Host needs jokes. Idea: Show change to "Dance Contest" with an interactive "Applause-o-meter/Get Loud" indicator. Add character judge in a CGI "Monster Inc Laugh floor" style commentary.
