“Kids today are growing up with a multitude of devices so we want them to have the richest, most consistent experience possible with DisneyJunior.com regardless of how they’re getting to the site,” said Lauren DeVillier, Vice President of Digital Media, Disney Channels Worldwide. “We considered how, when and where kids interact with the site, and designed to meet those evolving needs.”

Disney Channel’s research shows tablets are among the fastest growing devices ever – more than half of households with kids now own a tablet, up over 40% in 2012.

The site features exclusive videos, games, printable “Make” activities and access to live and on demand full episodes of all kid’s favorite Disney Junior shows.
