Limited-Time Character Experiences and Fun Zones Means More Disney Magic For Kids This Summer (2025)

Disney has shared many updates this morning, including that More Disney Magic is Coming for Kids in Summer 2025. Guests visiting between May 27th through September 1, 2025, will want to be aware of special limited-time experiences that are geared toward those visiting with children. These experiences will include kid zones, more characters, pop-up entertainment offerings, games, music, dancing, and other adventures.

Disney has shared a few examples of what guests can expect. Here’s what we know so far:

• At Magic Kingdom, families can expect kid zones in Storybook Circus and Tomorrowland. Stitch will be available at the Tomorrowland location, which is where he already typically meets daily.

• At Epcot (after the conclusion of the Epcot Flower and Garden Festival) families with children can enjoy a fresh game party and play space. Goofy will take over CommuniCore Hall during this time. Disney shared that there will be a few fun surprises and that more details would be available soon.

• Disney also shared that guests staying at Disney Resort Hotels would be able to see more characters in the parks during the early entry theme park period. Typically, characters are not available during this time. (Valid admission is required to enter the parks.)

Lastly, Disney noted that the theme parks are often open for longer hours in the summer months. While that isn’t necessarily an announcement, it is a reminder that a new nighttime parade will be coming to Magic Kingdom. We can only hope to see parks like Magic Kingdom open later to accommodate even more nighttime events. Time will tell.

In case you missed it, we also shared the following updates for this summer earlier today, including scheduled character appearances at select resorts.
