Did you know that Disney World is hosting a special celebration this summer?
Disney has dubbed this offering “Cool Kid Summer,” where they showcase the best of the best for families with kids, AND add in some new entertainment and attractions. And if you’re curious as to what’s available during Cool Kid Summer, there are some new maps available to help you out!
In the My Disney Experience app, you’ll see Cool Kid Summer highlighted on the homepage. If you click on that particular info guide, you’ll be able to view new maps for each of the four parks with the specialty offerings marked.
Starting in Magic Kingdom, you’ll notice that there are entertainment options in Storybook Circus and Tomorrowland, as well as a snack option in Tomorrowland.
In Storybook Circus, they’ve got the Big Top Bash, which is a dance party and circus-style entertainnent offering rolled into one. You’ll spot stiltwalkers, magicians, and Mickey’s best pal, Pluto, wandering around Storybook Circus. In the back of the land, there’s a DJ hosting a dance party from 10AM-6PM, as well as some outdoor games and photo ops.
Tomorrowland has the Galactic Blast during Cool Kid Summer, where there’s another DJ with an emcee, and frequent appearances by our favorite blue alien, Stitch! This one is located at the Rocket Tower Plaza Stage and it’s available from 11AM-3PM.
Speaking of Stitch, you can stop by Auntie Gravity’s Galactic Goodies to snag the Surfing Stitch Float for $6.79. This is made with pineapple Dole Whip and Mountain Berry Powerade.
Heading over to EPCOT, there are two special offerings for Cool Kid Summer on the map, both of which are located at CommuniCore Hall.
Inside the building, you’ve got GoofyCore, which is available from 10AM-6PM. A DJ plays tunes while Goofy leads the kiddos in fun games and activities.
Outside, you’ll find the temporary GRAB-N-GOOF food kiosk. This spot is home to some fun pasta options and is open from 9:30AM-9PM. You can stop by here until September 2nd!
Over at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, it’s all about the entertainment! There’s one offering over in Sunset Boulevard and two new options in Animation Courtyard.
Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After has come to the Sunset Showcase, and this new live-action show has been popular! The plot follows three different Disney Villains as they each try to convince you that they’re the most misunderstood villain of them all. It’s definitely a must-see during your next visit!
In Animation Courtyard, The Little Mermaid — A Musical Adventure opened on the same day as the villains show. This is a reimagined version of the former The Little Mermaid live show, and it follows the story of the movie with songs, puppets, and live performers.
The other offering you’ll want to check out in Hollywood Studios is Get Animated. This street party in Animation Courtyard features a magician and jump rope performers, as well as appearances by Disney characters. Inside, you can catch a DJ and a dance party with Mickey and Disney Junior characters as well. This party is available from 9AM-5PM.
Last but not least, we’ve got to head to Animal Kingdom. The map here has four different offerings, but we’ll start with the one located all the way out at Conservation Station. Here, you’ll want to be on the lookout for the limited-time pollinator craft at Rafiki’s Planet Watch.
This park perhaps has the most diverse Cool Kid Summer celebrations, because it’s also home to some special entertainment, an activity, and a snack!
At Dino-Bite Snacks, you’ll find the Dino Eggs-cavation treat for $5.29. It’s made with a chocolate chunk cookie, cookie crumb-milk mousse, edible sugar bones, and a white chocolate dino egg with a surprise inside! (Spoiler: the surprise is a tiny dinosaur!)
If you’re hoping to become a Wilderness Explorer during your visit to Animal Kingdom (it’s a free Up-themed scavenger hunt-like activity around the park), there’s a special Cool Kid Summer badge you can earn in Asia. Be on the lookout for the temporary Wilderness Explorer location near Feathered Friends in Flight to do some nature-inspired activities.
The final offering at Animal Kingdom is A Celebration Sing-Along at Discovery Island. This runs at 2:35PM and 3:35PM, so showtimes are limited, but it features a Dino Institute intern singing songs about all the creatures you can find around the park.
So those are the limited-time options you’ll find in Disney World for Cool Kid Summer in 2025! We’ll make sure to keep you in the loop if we spot any more special entertainment, snacks, or attractions.
