Hot Dog! Disney Jr. Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Live! Showtimes Are Locked in for May 26 Debut

If you’ve got a kindergartener (or a kindergartener’s parent) plotting a Disney’s Hollywood Studios visit this summer, the puzzle just got easier. Disney has officially announced the opening-day showtimes for Disney Jr. Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Live!, the new 20-minute stage show that takes over the Animation Courtyard theater on Tuesday, May 26, 2026 — the kickoff of Disney’s Cool Kids’ Summer.

The opening-day schedule

The show will run eight times daily on May 26, with performances at:

  • 10:15 AM
  • 11:05 AM
  • 11:55 AM
  • 12:45 PM
  • 2:35 PM
  • 3:30 PM
  • 4:20 PM
  • 5:10 PM

Disney has flagged that exact times can shift day-to-day, so check the My Disney Experience app the morning of your visit. Each performance is approximately 20 minutes, with a long midday break between the 12:45 PM and 2:35 PM shows that lines up neatly with a parent-friendly lunch slot.

What the show actually is

The new production is inspired by Disney Jr.’s long-running Mickey Mouse Clubhouse series and the recent Mickey Mouse Clubhouse+ revival. The plot, in Mickey-and-Minnie terms:

  • Mickey and Minnie host a fun-filled party at Mickey’s house.
  • Goofy, Daisy, and Pluto are running late.
  • Mickey and Minnie take the party on the road to find them.
  • Everyone reunites for a high-energy finale.

Expect upbeat original songs, lots of clap-along moments, and on-stage character appearances built for the Disney Jr. core audience. Disney’s official copy describes the show as one for “the little ones” — preschoolers and early-elementary kids — rather than putting a specific age range on it.

Animation Courtyard’s second act

The show is the centerpiece of the broader reimagining of Animation Courtyard — reported by WDWNT and others as part of a rename to Walt Disney Studios Courtyard, though Disney’s official site still uses “Animation Courtyard” in its breadcrumb as of this writing. The space sits between Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge and the Echo Lake area, and Disney has been steadily refreshing its lineup since closing the previous Disney Junior Dance Party! / Disney Jr. Play and Dance!. The new Mickey show takes over that exact theater slot.

For visitors, the practical impact is straightforward:

  • Animation Courtyard reopens on May 26 alongside the show debut, ending the area’s longest stretch of muted activity in years.
  • The roster of pre-K headliners at Hollywood Studios — Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway, Disney Jr. character meets, and now this show — gives families a coherent half-day plan that doesn’t require height-checks.
  • It’s a sequel of sorts: the same Disney Jr. Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Live! production debuted at Disney California Adventure on May 16, 2025, where it’s been running since. Hollywood Studios gets a Florida-specific staging in the same vein.

Why it matters

This is a fresh, high-frequency entertainment slot at a park that’s been heavy on construction-walls news for the last twelve months. Eight shows a day at 20 minutes each works out to roughly 2 hours, 40 minutes of scheduled stage capacity per day — a meaningful chunk of family-friendly programming during park hours, and one less reason to leave Hollywood Studios for a midday hotel break with the under-7 crew.

It also slots directly into the Animation Courtyard theater spot its Disney Junior predecessors have held continuously, swapping in fresh Mickey-and-friends content in a venue that’s been dialed down for months while Disney’s broader cadence has skewed toward big-IP coasters and re-themes. Whether the Hollywood Studios floor on family entertainment is rising again, or this is a one-off retread of the Disneyland format, is a story for the next month.

Universal published a room by room walkthrough of the Sinners haunted house one day before Halloween Horror Nights 35 opens. Show director Ramon Paradoa says the team locked the surreal montage set first and designed the scenes before and after it around that, which he says is not always how Universal builds a house. The Sinners house was not on the paid lights on tour that matched three other HHN 35 houses to their codenames last week.
