In March, Disney California Adventure changed the The Disney Junior – Live on Stage! show. The Disney Junior – Live on Stage! show has always been a favorite for us. Emma was thrilled to hear Sofia the First and Doc McStuffins joined Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Jake and the Never Land Pirates.
This is the perfect show for preschoolers. Even Addie, our 13 month old, loved the lights, sounds, and characters. It’s a great place to sit and take a break while interacting with some of the favorite characters from Disney Junior. Although we loved the old show, the new version is refreshing. Each segment offers a life lesson, while keeping the kids on their toes.
You can find the Disney Junior Live! show in Hollywood Land at California Adventure. The show runs 22 minutes. Get there early. You’ll be sitting on the floor, but the best seating toward the front goes quickly. If you’re sitting too far on the sides, your child won’t be able to interact with the bubbles, streamers, or “gold doubloons.”
Check the weekly schedule for current show times.
We live in Northern California, about a 6 hour drive to Disneyland. For us, it was an easy choice to buy annual passes to Disneyland. After two trips, our passes were paid for. You might be wondering if annual passes are right for you, and if you would save in the long run.
When I was a kid, summers always seemed long and hot. I was often bored. Except the one week I went to camp or vacation bible school. I looked forward to that week every summer. I got to meet new kids that I wouldn’t have met otherwise. 
There’s a lot of walking involved when you’re at Disneyland. One of the best ways to avoid those aching feet is to wear comfortable shoes. Even with great shoes, the best of us still get tired of walking, but we want to push on. If your feet start to ache, get off them and rest. There are tons of benches scattered throughout each park if you’d just like to sit and people-watch. There are also several things you can do to get off your feet and still have fun.
