Before I tell you about the show itself I thought you should know that in this attraction you sit on the floor. Personally, I have a hard time sitting on the floor and I was very uncomfortable during the entire show. The stage is raised but the puppets are short so if you sit in the back like we did, it is difficult for small children to see what is happening. The sets are huge and disproportionate to the size of the puppets, I’m sure this is so the sizing will be right for the human character but it just seems a bit odd to me.

Mickey Mouse Clubhouse

The gist of the show is Mickey, Goofy, Donald and Daisy are planning a surprise party for Minnie. They each have a task to complete before the party, but of course, they need help. Of course this “help” is shown to the gang on the Mousekadoer and then downloaded into Toodles so that they can be seen anytime someone calls, “Oh Toodles”. In this performance the three tools take us to visit other Disney Junior Friends.

Sofia the First

We visit Sofia and her friends as she is trying to make her father’s royal ball a “sparkling success”. With the help of Mr Cedric she and her friends learn that teamwork helps get the job done.

Doc McStuffins

Lambie comes down with a case of “the rippies.” Stuffy the dragon, Hallie the Hippo and friends gather in Doc’s office to cheer her up, resulting in a ton of bubbly fun.

Jake and the Neverland Pirates

Jake and his friends are on the search for their treasure chest, which Captain Hook has stolen. In the end it is “Yo Ho Way to Go!” as the friends show us how working together gets the job done.

Finale

In the end everybody works together and gets everything ready for the party. Minnie arrives and is very surprised and appreciative of all the hard work her friends did on her behalf.

This is a great show for families with children who are familiar with the Disney Junior shows. I recommend you check the times guide and get in line 20-30 minutes before showtime so that you can sit as close to the front as possible.

Disney Junior invites mom and dad to join their child in the Disney experience of magical, musical and heartfelt stories and characters, while incorporating specific learning and development themes designed for kids age 2-7.

The 24 hour Disney Junior schedule will include daily telecasts of “Jake and the Never Land Pirates” (the #1 series among Boys 2-5 for 2011) and the hit series “Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.” It will also introduce the animated series “Doc McStuffins” at launch, and will feature new editions of the acclaimed short-form series “A Poem Is…” and a weekend movie block, “Magical World of Disney Junior.” New interstitials featuring Disney heritage characters, including Sebastian and Flounder from “The Little Mermaid,” Mrs. Potts and Chip from “Beauty and the Beast,” and pups Lucky and Pepper “101 Dalmatians,” will also debut.

All songs can be heard in episodes of the show.
Portland, Oregon-based Hoskins and Hendrickson have been creating pirate rock music for kids of all ages for more than a decade.
