Get ready, because Cool Kid Summer is about to take over Disney World!
Cinderella Castle
Starting on May 27th and running all the way through September 1st, the parks will be home to DJ-fueled dance parties, surprise character experiences, fun activities, and nonstop summer vibes. But, to make way for Cool Kid Summer, CommuniCore Hall at EPCOT will be closing.
Disney just announced that to make way for DJ Goofy’s dance party at EPCOT, CommuniCore Hall will temporarily close beginning May 12th as it is transformed.

But don’t worry, CommuniCore Plaza and the Mickey & Friends meet and greet will still be open during this time.
And, it sounds like the Farmer’s Feast Flower and Garden Festival booth — which is currently inside CommuniCore Hall — might end up being combined with the Florida Fresh booth located just outside the hall while this transformation is taking place.

In Magic Kingdom, Storybook Circus and Tomorrowland will have new “kid zones” as well. These will include character interactions (hello, Stitch!), activities, and more reasons to slow down and let your kids run around a bit.

Cool Kid Summer officially kicks off on May 27th, which is also when The Little Mermaid – A Musical Adventure and Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After will both officially debut at Hollywood Studios!

This is cool and all but those that have day tickets really can’t take advantage of any of that because we have to get rides done with the precious time we have. Hopefully Epic continues to light fire under Disney to continue doing things. But activities and shows aren’t going to be enough. Unfortunately they waited too long to start construction on needed additions and upgrades. Disney needs to continue the discounts coming.
Nothing new here. Am not expecting much on the redo. Disney has not hit it out of the park with new cutting edge attractions in the last 10 plus years. Just got more crowded.
