Cool KIDS’ SUMMER 2026 at Walt Disney World: Bluey, New Shows and Great Summer Savings

From May 26 through September 8, Cool KIDS’ SUMMER takes over Walt Disney World Resort and turns it into the perfect summer playground for families. Expect DJ dance parties, hands-on activities, surprise character appearances and plenty of brand-new and refreshed attractions. With longer park hours and some of the year’s best ticket prices, it’s shaping up to be an unforgettable family vacation.

Starting May 26, Disney’s Animal Kingdom welcomes Bluey and Bingo. At Conservation Station, kids can play games straight from the show, dance with the characters, snap photos and even learn about Australian animals.

Over at Epcot, GoofyCore delivers pure silliness with DJ-led dance sessions, games like Loopy Limbo and giant playground-style adventures that guarantee lots of laughter.

A major highlight at Disney’s Hollywood Studios is the brand-new show Disney Jr. Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Live!. From May 26, Mickey and Minnie need help rounding up their friends in a lively, interactive production packed with original songs. The new Walt Disney Studios Courtyard opens as well, followed later by the reimagined Magic of Disney Animation.

At Magic Kingdom, Jessie’s Roundup brings Toy Story energy to the Diamond Horseshoe with songs, dances and games featuring Jessie, Woody and the gang. Meanwhile, Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin reopens on April 8 with upgraded interactive targets, the new Buddy Support Bot and special photo memories showing your score.

The water parks join the fun too: Guests can meet Goofy at Blizzard Beach and Stitch at Typhoon Lagoon. Disney Resort guests even get free admission to one water park on their check-in day.

Families staying at Pop Century, Art of Animation, Caribbean Beach and Port Orleans Riverside enjoy extra perks, including scheduled character visits, curated Disney story libraries, pajama parties, pool entertainment and complimentary baby essentials.

Great savings are on offer this summer. The 4-Day, 4-Park Magic Ticket starts at just $109 per day. Book a non-discounted 4-night package by April 30, 2026, and you’ll receive a free dining plan for the whole family. Room discounts of up to 40% are available for Annual Passholders and Florida residents.

Additional highlights include new missions with The Mandalorian and Grogu aboard Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run, the revamped Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets and Soarin’ Across America at Epcot.
