Great Gift Ideas for Disney Lovers

Christmas is over much to our dismay, but it will be back again before we know it next year. 

We put together a fabulous list of 

16 Stocking Stuffers for the Disneyphile in your Family

Santa brought put some of those magical gifts in our little people's stockings and they loved them. But we are going into a new year. We already have Birthday Parties filling up our calendars and special events coming up that require gift giving. We think that same list would be great for any occasion, not just for the holiday. Earphones, charm bracelets, music, and Disney Infinity figures are perfect for any gift all year long.

Find out exactly where to purchase these items, and the price HERE. 

We'd love to know what are some of your favorite Disney gifts to give? Is there any that you see on this list that you want? (BTW - we have the Frozen Soundtrack and it is PHENOMENAL!)

Disney Junior Channel comes to DIRECTV Customers

We are so happy to share this news with you! For those of you with DIRECTV (like Jessica) we've been missing out on the new Disney Junior Channel - TERRIBLY! So to hear that starting today we will get 24 hours of Disney Junior programming goodness is exciting news! More Doc McStuffins and even more Jake and the Never Land Pirates! Whoo-Hoo! Now if you'll excuse us, we've got to go watch Disney Junior, the Aristocats is on!

DISNEY JUNIOR WILL LAUNCH SATURDAY, JULY 14, TO MILLIONS OF

DIRECTV CUSTOMERS NATIONWIDE

DIRECTV and Disney have reached a new agreement to add Disney Junior, a 24- hour channel expressly for kids age 2-7 and their parents/caregivers, to DIRECTV’s programming lineup beginning tomorrow on channel 289. Disney Junior launched in 2011 as a daytime programming block on Disney Channel and expanded to a 24/7 channel in 2012. It is one of the most sought-after channels by DIRECTV customers and will be permanently added to their programming options as a basic channel.

Disney Junior's animated and live action programming blends Disney's unparalleled storytelling and beloved characters with learning components, including early math and language skills, as well as healthy eating and lifestyles, with an emphasis on social and emotional development. The original series include “Jake and the Never Land Pirates,” "Doc McStuffins," “Mickey Mouse Clubhouse,” "A Poem Is…," "Handy Manny," “Little Einsteins” and “Special Agent Oso.” Disney Junior also airs Walt Disney Studios’ and Pixar’s classic and contemporary animated films, as well as Disney’s many non-theatrical sequels so popular with children and parents.

“When it comes to children and families, nobody has the tremendous programming to compare with Disney,” said Derek Chang, executive vice president of Content Strategy and Development for DIRECTV. “Our customers have been clamoring for us to add Disney Junior since they first heard about the concept, and DIRECTV is happy to place our trust in Disney as a partner in building this exciting new family service.”

“We are pleased to reach this agreement with DIRECTV to provide Disney Junior’s high quality, valuable and family-friendly programming to their customers,” said David Preschlack, executive vice president, Disney & ESPN Affiliate Sales and Marketing. “We know parents are passionate about having top quality television options for their families, and now millions will be able to watch outstanding preschool programming on a 24/7 channel unlike any other on television.”

With the addition of DIRECTV, the 24 hour Disney Junior channel has distribution agreements that cover approximately 55 million US households.

           

Disney Media Networks’ flagship Disney Channel is fast becoming the most popular programming service among DIRECTV homes. The number of children viewers aged 2 through 11 has surged more than 19 percent in the past year alone, and total viewership has increased 15 percent during those same 12 months. Disney Junior will now take a place in the DIRECTV channel guide directly adjacent to Disney Channel at channel #289.

We looked everywhere for the lyrics to the song, but couldn't find them anywhere. So we do what any Disney fan would do, we sat down & listened to the Theme song over and over until we memorized it. Fun way to spend a Tuesday night! You may not want to do that so we typed out the lyrics below for our readers! Happy Singing!

Doc McStuffins Lyrics:

The Doc is in and she'll fix you up. 

If you're a toy then you're in luck. 

It's OK, don't be afraid, the Doc really knows her stuff.

Doo, Doo, Doo, you know it's good for you.

The Doc is gonna help you feel better.

Oh, Oh, Oh it's the place to go, 

when you feel a little under the weather.

Let Doc McStuffins do her thing.

To get you right back in the swing.

Doc McStuffins, Doc McStuffins,

come let the visit begin, the Doc is in.

Doc McStuffins, Doc McStuffins,

come let the visit begin, the Doc is in.

Disney Junior: Doc McStuffins on Disney Channel

Disney Junior Presents 

"Doc McStuffins" on Disney Channel

"Doc McStuffins" Premieres Today 
Friday, March 23 at 10am/9c on Disney Junior Channel

Doc is a young girl who is the "Doctor Doolittle" for toys. Doc's backyard playhouse becomes her clinic where she uses her special ability to communicate with toy friends to help them when they have physical or emotional bangs and bruises.

We got a sneak peek when we attended a media preview and watched a few "Doc McStuffins" episodes. This show is going to be a huge success for Disney Junior. There are so many important elements that this show touches on. Most importantly for us is having a girl as the lead character who is smart, a problem solver and playing a doctor.

Not only are we Disney Sisters, but we are all moms. Being mothers we know how many trips that we make to the Doctor's offices, especially with young kids. This show was created when Chris Nee Creator/Executive Producer, used her own experience as a mother whose son developed a severe asthma condition when he was two years old. She realized how intimidating and scary going to the Doctor can be for children. She felt that there were a number of shows that address the fears of children starting school, or going to a new school, but none that covered the fears about going to the Doctor.
We talked to Disney Channel Executives, the Creator of the show, and the voice cast.
What a lovely group of people!
