First stop, EPCOT, where things are about to get seriously “GoofyCore” at CommuniCore Hall. Imagine an immersive playground where Goofy himself is leading the charge! You can bust out your best moves at DJ-led dance parties and even get in on some hilariously twisted games like Loopy Limbo and Parachutes ‘n’ Pipsqueaks.
And if you’re there for the Flower & Garden Festival, keep an eye out for some “Farmer’s Feast” food options popping up at Florida Fresh right outside CommuniCore Hall. Oh, and guess who’s back? Phineas and Ferb! Your favorite inventive stepbrothers are returning to EPCOT near the main entrance starting June 1st for a limited time. Plus, you can catch their new season premiering on Disney Channel on June 5th and Disney+ on June 6th!
Next up, get ready to roam and explore at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, where new adventures await! Head over to Rafiki’s Planet Watch for some awesome hands-on crafting activities all about pollinators, think buzzing bees and beautiful butterflies. And for all you Wilderness Explorers out there, get ready to earn a special, limited-time badge as you make your way around the park, spotting amazing animals like tigers and okapis.
To cap off your wild day, swing by Discovery Island for a “Celebration Sing-Along” with the Dino Institute Intern. It’s a musical moment you won’t forget, filled with original songs, playful storytelling, and plenty of chances to join in.
Over at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, it’s time to “Get Animated” at Animation Courtyard! This is where the energetic fun never stops, with games and crafts keeping everyone moving and creating. You might even stumble upon some magic with magicians, jump rope performers, and even surprise character appearances! The fun keeps going strong with a lively indoor DJ dance party starring Mickey Mouse and your favorite Disney Junior pals, perfect for little ones to groove and move.
And that’s not all! Two brand new indoor stage shows are in full swing now. Get ready for “Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After,” where infamous baddies take center stage in a wickedly fun show, and “The Little Mermaid – A Musical Adventure,” a breathtaking retelling of the beloved film with all your favorite songs and stunning visuals.
Now, let’s talk about Magic Kingdom Park, where the summer fun is reaching epic proportions! Step right up to the “Big Top Bash” at Storybook Circus. You can join the DJ ringmaster for a summertime dance party with pop-up silliness starring Pluto, and with stilt walkers and jugglers around, you’ll feel like the star of the show.
Then, make your way over to Tomorrowland for a “Galactic Blast” at the Rocket Tower Plaza Stage. Get ready to dance with Stitch at this high-energy DJ party, and after grooving with the galaxy’s coolest alien, head inside Merchant of Venus for an out-of-this-world craft inspired by the upcoming Disney-Pixar film “Elio.” Later this summer, get ready for a star-kissed constellation of Disney wishes with “Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away,” featuring beloved characters from “Encanto,” “Frozen,” “Coco,” and more!
And guess what? Staying right in the magic at a Disney Resort Collection hotel comes with some awesome extra perks! You can splash right into fun with free admission to one of Disney’s two water parks on your check-in day. And both Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach will be open this summer starting May 21st, the toughest decision will be choosing which one!
Plus, guests of Disney Resort hotels and other select hotels get 30 minutes of early theme park entry every day of their stay. That means you might even spot some of your favorite characters out in the park before the crowds arrive! If you’re staying at Disney’s Pop Century Resort, Disney’s Art of Animation Resort, Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort, or Disney’s Wilderness Lodge, you’re in for even more fun with extra 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.
