EPCOT is bringing the fun this summer with Cool Kid Summer, a limited-time celebration happening May 27 through September 1, 2025, and we were lucky enough to be one of the first to experience it!
One of the biggest highlights? GoofyCore at the all-new CommuniCore Hall. We stepped inside not knowing what to expect, and it absolutely did not disappoint. The space has been transformed into an indoor summer party zone with high-energy music, interactive games like limbo and parachute play, and a surprise appearance from Goofy himself! All of the kids were completely obsessed. From dancing along with the DJ to jumping into every activity, it was the perfect mix of fun and movement (and a great break from the heat).
Beyond GoofyCore, EPCOT is packed with attractions that are perfect for little ones:
-
Frozen Ever After: Take a magical boat ride through Arendelle with Elsa, Anna, Olaf, and friends.
-
The Seas with Nemo & Friends: Join Marlin and Dory on a search for Nemo through beautifully animated underwater scenes, ending in a real aquarium filled with sea life.
-
Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure: Shrink down to the size of a rat and scurry through Gusteau’s kitchen on this 4D ride full of surprises.
-
Gran Fiesta Tour Starring The Three Caballeros: A gentle boat ride through Mexico with Donald Duck and friends—colorful, musical, and lots of fun.
Cool Kid Summer also features:
-
Meet Phineas and Ferb: Starting June 1, meet this dynamic duo near the front of the park, just in time for the new season on Disney+.
