On Jake’s birthday, Friday, March 1, the site will launch an interactive treasure hunt game where kids help Jake search Pirate Island for his hidden birthday presents.
In the new episode “Jake’s Birthday Bash,” Jake’s crewmates Cubby, Izzy and Skully surprise him with a special birthday treasure hunt. The episode will launch on iTunes in conjunction with the television premiere on March 1 as part of the “Disney Junior Birthday Bash!” bundle which features birthday-themed episodes of additional favorite Disney Junior series including “Doc McStuffins” and “Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.”
Recently, my son Brandon and I celebrated Jake’s birthday a little early with a special breakfast at the Disney Soda Fountain in Hollywood, California. Along with Jake and the Radio Disney crew, he played pin the tale on the croc., rubbed elbows with his favorite pirate and even rocked out to Sharky and Bones and watched an all-new Jake episode before watching Peter Pan at the El Capitan Theater.
Jake’s Birthday Bash is gearing up to be lots of fun for your little ones, so don’t miss out on all the fun!
