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.
