The new South African Disney Junior website that didn't exist just went live HERE, saying that ''the magic begins Wednesday 1 June''. Disney Playhouse was Disney's preschool brand that's also been a programming block. Disney Junior started in February this year in America, launched on Friday in Canada and Saturday in Britain.
