Disney World is constantly changing!

Disney recently dropped tons of announcements, including changes to Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin, the opening date for two new Hollywood Studios shows, and more! Among those announcements was a major change to several Disney resorts, but it won’t last forever! Find out if you will experience the exciting new offering while it’s around.

This summer, select Walt Disney World resort hotels will be able to enjoy even more Disney-themed activities for families with kids! Not only that, we will also be seeing scheduled character meet and greet times at the same resorts, which is a major plus to your trip.

Not every Disney resort is getting in on the fun, though! These special activities are only available at Disney’s Art of Animation Resort, Disney’s Pop Century Resort, Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort, and Disney’s Wilderness Lodge during the summer. In the past, Disney character appearances at resorts have been seen as rare, magical moments because they happen so infrequently.

We recently saw official times for meet and greets pop up at Disney’s Port Orleans Resort, and we were super surprised. This resort news coincides with other family fun Disney has shared that will also be available this summer. From May 27th until September 1st, Disney shared that families should “be on the lookout for limited-time experiences perfect for young kids in the theme parks, including kid zones featuring new activities and fun ways to interact with more Disney characters.”

These new areas include pop-up entertainment offerings, music and dancing, games, and “other adventures to help your little ones make those core Disney memories.” Disney specified that certain areas of the parks, like Tomorrowland and Storybook Circus in Magic Kingdom, would have the new kid zones. Over in EPCOT, Goofy will be taking over CommuniCore to host the “ultimate game party.”

This seems like the ultimate summer to be a kid in Disney World! If you’re ready to start booking but don’t know where to start, consider using Small World Vacations!

They have years of Disney planning and experience to help make your vacation even more magical without all of the stress. They’ll keep you updated on the Disney parks news you need to know about before you go see Mickey. We can’t wait to see what the resort activities are and which characters we can say hi to this summer! As always, keep following DFB for more Disney news and updates.
