History
On 3 May 2010 Disney Junior was first launched as Playhouse Disney in the Netherlands and on 22 June in Belgium. It also launched under the same name as a block on the main Disney Channel, replacing Jetix Play Before 10 September 2011, this channel was called Playhouse Disney, the last show as Playhouse Disney was Special Agent Oso at 6:30 PM.
In 2018, one third of Disney Belgium's employees were laid off, as Disney decided to move its Benelux subsidiary to France, including among others Disney Channel activities.
Ziggo announced that Disney Junior as a TV channel would close down in the Netherlands on 1 April 2019. Disney Channels Benelux is planning to distribute its programs differently (on Disney+). The Dutch channel continues broadcasting in Belgium.
After a year absence, the channel's programs moved to "Mickey Mornings" on Disney Channel on 17 November 2020.
In April 2025, it was announced that Disney Jr. would relaunch in the Netherlands to replace Disney XD on 1 May.
