Touring Tips

  • Be sure to catch the Disney Junior Dance Party!, located in theater on the right side of the courtyard as you enter from Hollywood Boulevard. Join Doc McStuffins, Timon, and everyone’s favorite vampire girl, Vampirin in this high-energy musical celebration. While you shake it up, special guest Mickey Mouse from Mickey and the Roadster Racers is driving in from Hot Dog Hills to join the excitement. The suspense builds as you await his arrival. Can he make it in time to be part of the festivities?
  • You can also meet some of your favorite Disney Junior pals in the courtyard, including Vampirina, Doc McStuffins, Nancy Clancy!
