We report high resolution (2.5\arcsec) CO J=1-0 line imaging which reveals a molecular disk around the origin of the spectacular, 14arcminx 4arcmin , episodic jets in the planetary nebula KjPn 8. The disk is 30'' in diameter with an expansion velocity of ~ 7 km s(-1) . The axis of the disk is aligned with the youngest and fastest (~ 300 km s(-1) ) of the bipolar jets, and there is evidence for interaction between the jets and the disk material. The inner 4'' of the disk are photo-ionized by the central star. The disk-jet system dominates the environment of this young nebula, and should govern the morphology of KjPn 8 as it evolves to become fully ionized.
