Dance, Play, and Chill with Cool KIDS’ SUMMER at Disney World

Get ready to dance, play and chill because Cool KIDS’ SUMMER is taking over Walt Disney World Resort starting May 26 through September 8. This is the perfect destination for kids and kids-at-heart with DJ-fueled dance parties, surprise character appearances, hands-on activities, and nonstop summer vibes.

Summer offers some of the best ticket prices of the year and longer theme park hours, too. Combine this with everything new that’s debuting, and it makes for the perfect family trip filled with experiences you can only get at Walt Disney World.

Here’s a look at what’s coming across Walt Disney World this summer.

Bluey and Bingo are on their way to Disney’s Animal Kingdom! Starting May 26 and staying beyond Cool KIDS’ SUMMER, guests can play games and dance with Bluey and Bingo at Conservation Station.

Once guests hop off the Wildlife Express Train, it’s time for fun. Play special games directly from “Bluey” episodes, grab a photo with Bluey and Bingo themselves, and even discover animals native to Bluey’s home country, Australia, at “Jumping Junction.”

This summer, join Goofy for a party packed with laughter, movement, and just the right amount of silliness. From the moment the music starts, kids can jump into DJ-led dancing where wiggly moves, freestyle fun, and big belly laughs are all part of the routine. There’s no wrong way to dance here — in fact, the goofier the better!

Beyond the dance floor, families can dive into interactive games with playful, topsy-turvy twists. Think Loopy Limbo that keeps everyone guessing and Parachutes ‘n’ Pipsqueaks that turn classic playground favorites into larger-than-life adventures. Every activity is designed to get kids moving, giggling, and making unforgettable summer memories.

Get ready to Mousekedance!  Coming May 26 and staying beyond summer, a brand-new show is stepping into the spotlight at Disney’s Hollywood Studios and it’s packed with toe-tapping fun for the whole family.

Inspired by Disney Jr.’s global hit series Mickey Mouse Clubhouse+, this high energy celebration invites everyone to the ultimate party at the Clubhouse. Mickey and Minnie are all set for the big bash…but there’s just one tiny problem – their pals haven’t arrived yet!

That means it’s time to hit the road! Join Mickey and Minnie as you help track down Goofy, Daisy and Pluto in an adventure filled with catchy original songs, interactive moments and plenty of chances to clap, cheer and dance.

Young deputies are invited to mosey on over to the Diamond Horseshoe at Magic Kingdom for a rootin’ tootin’ good time. Just for this summer, join Jessie, Woody, Bullseye and more Toy Story pals for an energized roundup with songs, dance, games, and other playful activities.

Starting April 8, guests can join Buzz Lightyear on an intergalactic mission aboard Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin, where Star Command recruits are called upon to help save the galaxy from the evil Emperor Zurg. After boarding upgraded ride vehicles, Space Rangers will meet Buddy, a new support bot who guides them through interactive target practice before launch.

From interactive targets that light up and respond when you hit them to new handheld blasters featuring an always-on laser along with enhanced lighting, sound, and vibration effects, Buddy is confident you’ll have everything you need to succeed.

When the mission is complete, returning Rangers will find new photo memories showcasing their scores — perfect for celebrating victory and a little friendly bragging rights.

When visiting the Marketplace on select nights, break out your best dance moves during a party featuring hits from Descendants: Wicked Wonderland and Camp Rock 3, in celebration of the new original movies coming to Disney+ this summer.

What makes a Disney Water Park even more fun? Characters, of course! Just for the summer, guests can meet Goofy in his laid-back beach style at Blizzard Beach or catch Stitch spreading playful chaos at Typhoon Lagoon.

Make a splash right from the start. Guests of Disney Resorts Collection can enjoy free admission to one of our two water parks on the day of their check-in for free.*

In case you missed it, both Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach will be open this summer. Which one will you choose?

Guests of Disney Resort hotels and other select hotels can also enjoy 30 minutes of early theme park entry every day of their stay. You might even spot some of your favorite characters out in the park during this time.

And that’s just the beginning of the fun. For summertime only, guests staying at Disney’s Pop Century Resort, Disney’s Art of Animation Resort, Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort and Disney’s Port Orleans Resort – Riverside  will have even more experiences and amenities designed for families with young children, including scheduled visits from favorite Disney pals like Mickey and Minnie.

There, you’ll be able to enjoy even more Disney-themed activities, including character visits with set appearance times to help you plan your day and an expanded itinerary of things to do with your family throughout your stay at these four resorts.
