Sofia the First Brings Bubble-Filled Fun to Downtown Disney

If you’re looking for another reason to spend time at the Downtown Disney District at the Disneyland Resort this summer, a new family-friendly experience has officially arrived, bringing bubbles, music, and a touch of Disney Jr. magic along with it.

The Bubbles Experience, presented by Disney Jr., is now happening at the Downtown Disney LIVE! Stage & Lawn and will continue through August 16, 2026. Throughout the day and into the evening, guests can enjoy scheduled bubble moments accompanied by upbeat DJ entertainment, creating a fun stop for little ones, or anyone who simply can’t resist dancing through a cloud of bubbles.

Bubble moments take place several times each day, giving visitors plenty of opportunities to catch the experience whether they’re stopping by for lunch, shopping, or spending the evening at Downtown Disney.

Daytime bubble times:

  • 1:00 p.m.
  • 2:00 p.m.
  • 3:00 p.m.
  • 4:00 p.m.
  • 5:00 p.m.

Nighttime bubble times:

  • 6:30 p.m.
  • 7:30 p.m.
  • 8:30 p.m.
  • 9:30 p.m.
  • 10:20 p.m.

As always, Disney notes that entertainment is subject to change or cancellation without notice.

In addition to the bubble-filled festivities, guests can also strike a pose at a colorful Sofia the First: Royal Magic photo opportunity located near the Downtown Disney LIVE! Stage. The display celebrates the recently released Sofia the First: Royal Magic on Disney Jr. and Disney+, making it a fun keepsake for longtime fans of the beloved princess and a great backdrop for family photos.

Summer continues to be an exciting time at Downtown Disney, with new shops, restaurants, entertainment offerings, and limited-time experiences giving guests even more reasons to visit outside the theme parks. Whether you’re already planning a Disneyland Resort vacation or simply stopping by for an evening, the new Bubbles Experience adds another layer of summertime fun that’s sure to put a smile on kids’ faces.

If you’re visiting before August 16, be sure to check the entertainment schedule and don’t forget to snap a photo with Sofia while you’re there. It might just become one of your favorite memories from a summer visit to Downtown Disney.
