Looks cute! But my girls are getting a little old for Disney. 🙁
My boys are 15 and 17 and we are all excited to watch Jake and the Neverland Pirates! You are never too old for Disney!
This looks like a show my daughter Bridget (she’s 6) would like. I wish we had cable!!!

I’m excited for this, where I don’t encourage watching tv ALL day, it does seem that it is always on in atleast one room-normally just for background noise! I enjoy having quality kid proof channels that are appropriate for my daughter, this should be a bit hit in our home!
My daughter and I will be watching!

My youngest kiddo is a Nick Jr child, but I have seen the previews on TV. I am not sure if he will be watching it or not – guess we will have to see.
