Disney Junior – Worth the Wait!

If you’ve got young children, watch the Disney Channel, or pay any attention to Disney websites, you have probably noticed a lot of hoopla over Disney Junior.

For months they’ve been advertising a major change portion of the Disney Channel targeted at 2-6 year-olds, known as Playhouse Disney.  Previously, Playhouse Disney had only a handful of different series and aired from early morning to mid-morning, before the shows targeted at a slightly older audience started.  In our house, we generally watched these shows, such as “Mickey Mouse Clubhouse” and “Special Agent Oso“ On Demand, because they weren’t on at times we needed the distraction.

Now, since Valentines Day (Disney Junior day, in our house), Disney Junior airs from 4 a.m. through 2 p.m. There are several new shows, such as “Jake and the Never Land Pirates” and “Babar and the Adventures of Badou” and even more new short clips in between the shows.  My favorite short is“Mickey’s Mousekercize”– emphasizing children to get up and move while showing that excersise can be fun!

The new shows are very colorful and have incredibly catchy theme songs, which with a 1 year old, is just about the only portion of the shows I get to sit through peacefully.  After a lot of build up, we’re pleasantly surprised with the changes.  And, now we’re eagerly awaiting the creation of the full Disney Junior channel, taking over for Soap Net in 2012, along with several new shows.

And, of course I can’t forget the addition of “Jake and the Never Land Pirates” to the newly renovated and renamed Disney Junior, Live on Stage!  This new shows is creative, adorable, and filled with catchy tunes!

The current line up is a vast improvement from Playhouse Disney, with so many more options and a longer play block during the day, we’ve welcomed this new addition to the Disney Channel!
