Get ready, little ones and big fans! The beloved Disney Jr. Let’s Play! Party is coming back to Disneyland Resort in 2026, bringing a ton of fun with your favorite characters and stories.

Mark your calendars: the main party kicks off at Disney California Adventure Park on August 13, then spreads the magic over to the Downtown Disney District for three more days, from August 14 to 16, 2026. What a way to start things off – this event even aligns with D23 Day at the Disneyland Resort on August 13, a special day packed with Disney fan excitement just before the big D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event in Anaheim!

On August 13, Disney California Adventure Park transforms for the Disney Jr. Let’s Play! Party. This special one-day event welcomes all park guests, especially preschoolers and their families, to dive into live entertainment and meet beloved Disney Jr. characters. Imagine seeing Sofia the First: Royal Magic, SuperKitties, and Spidey and his Amazing Friends brought to life!

A big highlight is the “Disney Jr. Let’s Play! Block Party!” This isn’t just a parade; it’s a high-energy celebration starting at 10:30 a.m. It rolls through Hollywood Land in California Adventure, with quick stops on Hollywood Boulevard and at Carthay Circle. Expect music, dancing, and super cool, decorated vehicles featuring Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, and lots of other favorite Disney Jr. friends.

But wait, there’s more! Hollywood Land will be buzzing with even more Disney Jr. activities for everyone. Head to the Hollywood Backlot Stage, where kids can boogie down with Mickey Mouse and friends during “Disney Jr. Let’s Play! Live.”

You might even catch a glimpse of Sofia the First, straight from Sofia the First: Royal Magic, showing off a brand new outfit! Spidey and other characters will also make special, limited-time appearances. For the little chefs aged 3 to 11, don’t miss “Confection Purrfection with the SuperKitties” at the Hollywood Backlot Stage. Here, you’ll decorate cupcakes alongside the SuperKitties, learning how food saves the day! Just remember, spots are limited, so sign up 45 minutes before each showtime.

If you’re feeling crafty, the Disney Jr. Let’s Play Craft Zone in Hollywood Land is the place to be. Or, become an artist yourself at Animation Academy, where you can learn to draw Pepper, Sofia’s adorable puppy-unicorn, and other Disney Jr. characters. Want a souvenir? Snap a themed photo strip at the photobooth in Hollywood Land (for an additional fee) or strike a pose at various unique photo spots. And of course, you can grab some cool Disney Jr. merchandise at Studio Store and Elias & Co. in California Adventure.

Need to cool down? Pop into the Disney Theater for an indoor dance party with Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, and their pals during “Disney Jr. Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Live!” This show is actually an everyday favorite at California Adventure, so it’s always there for some extra fun.

The magic doesn’t stop at the park gates! From August 14 to 16, the Disney Jr. Let’s Play! Party takes over the Downtown Disney District. The Downtown Disney LIVE! Stage and Lawn will be the hub of activity all weekend, with a fantastic mix of family entertainment.

Your kids can dance their hearts out at DJ dance parties or get lost in The Bubbles Experience by Disney Jr. Family crafts will be available at the Disney Jr. Let’s Play Craft Zone near the Downtown Disney LIVE! Stage. Plus, look out for even more unique photo spots around Downtown Disney to capture those precious memories of your “fan fam” during this special weekend.

So, don’t miss out on this incredible Disney Jr. fun! Head to California Adventure on August 13, and then continue the celebration at Downtown Disney from August 14 to 16. It’s a truly unique event packed with all your favorite Disney Jr. stories and characters.
