The Disneyland Resort announced a new Disney Junior-inspired three-day event coming in August.

Theme park officials revealed the Disney Junior & Friends Playdate will celebrate the channel’s most popular shows through magical, entertaining and music-filled stories at Disney California Adventure Park on August 18 and Downtown Disney District on August 19 and August 20.  

The Disney Junior celebration will kick off in California on August 18 with a Playdate Party Parade featuring beloved Disney Junior characters, a special “Disney Junior Live! Playdate” stage show and the debut of the new Disney Junior short-form series “Playdate with Winnie the Pooh.”

In addition, the party will also boast the seasonal Alice’s Wonderland Bakery Unbirthday Party, the Spidey and his Amazing Friends photo wall and the regular Disney Junior programming typically found at Disney California Adventure.

When the Disney Junior & Friends Playdate fun moves to the Downtown Disney District on August 19 and August 20, visitors will experience themed treats at Marceline’s Confectionary and a Star Wars: Young Jedi Adventures photo wall.

Throughout the weekend, guests can participate in a find-and-search experience featuring clues around Disney California Adventure Park on Friday and Downtown Disney on Saturday and Sunday.

In an update provided earlier this month, the metamorphosis of Disney California Adventure Park’s existing Pacific Wharf area into the city of San Fransokyo—the setting of Walt Disney Animation Studios’ Oscar-winning film ‘Big Hero 6’—is well underway.
