Good game; probably best for younger kids,
In reviewing Just Dance: Disney Party I’m relying on feedback from my ten-year-old daughter, who is a veteran player of Just Dance 2 and 3 for the Wii. The Disney version of Just Dance includes 25 Disney songs from Disney classics like Mary Poppins and more recent popular shows like Phineas and Ferb and Hannah Montana. The songs have both star and sweat ratings. These aren’t explained anywhere in the documentation as far as I could see, but stars seems to refer to level of difficulty in terms of ability required and sweat droplets have to do with how much you’ve got to move. (So a song can require lots of movement but not a lot of skill.) The Disney version of Just Dance is made for a wide range of abilities and therefore should be accessible for younger children, which is appropriate. However, because there are only two songs that have a difficulty rating of three stars, older kids who know their Just Dance moves may not remain interested in this game for very long.
The dancing styles involved range from ballet-like movements to hip hop moves. The game includes the original versions of the songs, which are danced to by modern dancers superimposed over backgrounds that are appropriate to the songs.
The game includes on-screen lyrics. On our crumby TV these are a little hard to read but they would probably be fine on a crisper display. There’s also a parental section where parents can check to see what their kids are up to–what badges they’ve earned and what songs they’ve been dancing to. I can’t imagine ever wanting to do this, but maybe some parents would.
All in all, my daughter likes the game, but not as much as the more difficult versions she’s played. It’s probably best suited for younger kids and kids who haven’t already cut their teeth on other versions of Just Dance.

Great family fun,
This was just delivered, and my kids eagerly ripped it open and were playing a few minutes later. Haven’t played with all the options yet (parent controls, playlist, etc) but so far we’re all lovin’ it. There are some classic songs (which I know Grandpa & Grandma will enjoy) plus a nice assortment of songs from Disney’s current tween shows. Several of the songs have the option of hearing the song in different languages – Squirrels in My Pants is even funnier in Swedish! Game itself is comparable to the other Just Dance shows we own – decent choreography (fun but not too challenging)
Full playlist:

This Is Me – Camp Rock
