The Stars of Disney Junior are going on tour this Spring! Launching March 14 in Southern California, the high-energy “Disney Junior Dance Party On Tour” will perform 50 shows across the country.
Inspired by favorite Disney Junior series, the interactive concert tour includes songs from Mickey and the Roadster Racers, Sofia the First, Elena of Avalor, Doc McStuffins, The Lion Guard, as well as newest hit series Vampirina and Puppy Dog Pals. The live concert will also include a brand-new interactive experience featuring Disney Junior’s highly-anticipated series, Muppet Babies, launching in 2018. Here are a list of dates and venues. Tickets are on sale now.
The ‘Disney Junior Dance Party On Tour’ is going to be the premiere family concert event of the year and for many years to come… Parents and children are going to truly love this show. There are new songs, greatest hits and some mashups, which are really fun!” – Jonathan Shank, Producer
From that quote, it appears that the Disney Junior Dance Party on Tour is expected to keep on going after this spring. The video looks to be taken directly from the Disney Junior Dance Party show at Disneyland’s California Adventure theme park in California. I imagine the traveling show will be a little different. But it gives you an idea of what to expect.
Tickets:
Ticket prices appear to vary based on the venue. The range we’ve seen from the few dates we looked at put tickets in the $20-$60 for standard seats.

Overall, it looks like a fun experience for families with fans of Disney Junior shows and characters. Going by the venues near us, these appear to be smaller theaters and not the big arenas they use for Disney On Ice and shows like that. So it seems like the experience would be a little better and more interactive. Splurging for a VIP ticket seems expensive to me, especially if you have multiple kids.
