Why Summer 2025 is All About the Kids at Walt Disney World

If you've been searching for the perfect time to take the kids to Walt Disney World, consider this your sign. Summer 2025 is serving up all kinds of limited-time fun and it's practically designed for families with little ones. Think kid zones, surprise character encounters and entertainment that will keep them smiling from rope drop to fireworks.ctically designed for families with little ones

Limited-Time Fun Just for Kids

From May 27 through September 1, Disney is rolling out special kid zones and pop-up entertainment across the parks. Picture high-energy games, music, dancing and plenty of beloved Disney pals making surprise appearances. Magic Kingdom is getting extra playful with kid zones in Storybook Circus and Tomorrowland, where even Stitch is getting in on the fun. Over at EPCOT, once the International Flower & Garden Festival wraps up, Goofy is taking over CommuniCore Hall with an epic game party and play space. Spoiler alert: the kids are going to love it.

Bonus Character Time for Early Birds

Waking up early just got a little sweeter. Disney Resort hotel guests will be able to meet some of their favourite characters during the early theme park entry period.  So, if you’re the type to rope drop like a pro, you might just score a magical morning selfie with Mickey before breakfast.

Stay Where the Fun Never Stops

Disney's Art of Animation Resort, Disney’s Pop Century Resort, Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort and Disney’s Wilderness Lodge are stepping it up this summer with even more themed activities for families. Expect character visits with set times (because who has time for guesswork on vacation) and an expanded list of fun to keep the magic going long after you leave the parks. And let's not forget one of the biggest perks of all - free admission to a Disney water park on your check-in day. Yes, free for all Disney Resort guests. That means you can start your vacation with lazy rivers and wave pools without spending an extra dime.

New Shows and a Parade Worth Staying Up For

If your little ones are living their best Disney Princess era, then The Little Mermaid - A Musical Adventure is a must-see. It's the classic story brought to life on stage, complete with all the sing-along moments you could ask for. But if your family loves a good dose of mischief, Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After has all the wicked charm you need. Both of these new shows will begin May 27th. And for the grand finale? Magic Kingdom will debut Disney Starlight, later this summer. This is the first nighttime parade in nearly a decade. Let the kids stay up past bedtime - this one's worth it.
