Disney has announced that Disney Junior Play and Dance! at Disney’s Hollywood Studios will be temporarily unavailable starting May 25, 2025. The closure comes just ahead of the launch of the resort-wide Cool Kid Summer event.

Beginning May 27, the same Animation Courtyard location will reopen with a new limited-time experience called “Get Animated” as part of the seasonal offerings. The updated experience will feature:

  • High-energy games and crafts
  • Surprise character appearances
  • Live entertainment tailored for younger guests

Disney Junior Play and Dance! is expected to return at a later date following the conclusion of Cool Kid Summer, which runs through September 1, 2025.

    I wouldn’t be shocked if we got a semi-permanent Bluey show at DHS. Might as well make the most of the license they paid for…

    I think this whole cool kids summer “activation” is all about testing waters for various data

    I thought the same thing. Could they be testing the waters for something bigger there??

    My family love dance parties and always have...and my kids are nowhere near toddlers. They are nice little extras. Me too. It's these little things that I like the most.

    Then why was the video with phineas and ferb filmed at California adventure?

    Well that’s very confusing marketing from Disney.

    Agent P will be at DCA. Epcot is getting Phineas and Ferb.

    It could be worse. At one point there was serious thought given to making her a meetable face character!
