Catching Doc McStuffins at Disney Junior Dance Party
One of the best places to find Doc at Disney Parks is at the Disney Junior Dance Party stage show in Hollywood Land. This high-energy, interactive show is located in the Disney Theater, past the main street and near Carthay Circle. The show gathers some favorite characters on Disney Junior for singing, dancing, and fun. Joining Doc on stage are characters like Vampirina, Finn Fiesta, Mickey and Minnie from the Roadster Racers.
The 25-minute Disney Junior Dance Party runs several times throughout the day, so check the park schedule on the Disneyland Park app for showtimes. Spots fill up quickly, so plan to arrive at least 15-20 minutes prior to showtime to get a seat. The indoor, covered venue has benches as well as floor space to dance and sing along.
The good doctor and her magic stethoscope make her appearance mid-show to lead dance moves and sing songs from her show. Kids and parents will love singing and dancing along to the Doc McStuffins theme song “I Feel Better” and “Time for Your Check Up.” It’s an energetic dance party that gets everyone up and moving.
When the show ends, characters like Doc stick around for a few minutes to wave goodbye and interact with kids before exiting. It’s a quick but exciting chance to see Doc up close after the show.
