Disney Junior delighted fans this weekend with exciting news that was sure to please the young and the young-at-heart. During the Disney Junior & Friends Playdate event at Disney California Adventure Park, Disney announced a lineup of new shows, specials, and holiday-themed episodes arriving soon.
Mickey Mouse Clubhouse 2.0 Coming in 2025
One of the biggest announcements was Mickey Mouse Clubhouse 2.0, debuting in 2025. Mickey and friends will return for brand-new adventures featuring songs, laughs, and surprises inside an expanded clubhouse. Minnie Mouse will get her own dedicated space, and Duffy the Disney Bear will make surprise appearances in multiple episodes. This new series builds on the global success of the original, which premiered in 2006 and sparked the viral “Hot Dog Dance.”
Mickey and Friends Trick or Treats Premieres October 1
This Halloween, get ready for Mickey and Friends Trick or Treats, a new stop-motion special airing October 1 on Disney Junior, Disney Channel, and Disney XD. Streaming begins October 2 on Disney+.
