Walt Disney World is taking Cool Kids’ Summer on the road with a series of free pop-up experiences in cities across the country ahead of the season’s May 26 opening at the parks. The tour already made its first stop on the set of Good Morning America in New York City on March 12, and two more events are still to come.

Both events are free and open to the public with no tickets or reservations required.

Cool Kids’ Summer is Walt Disney World’s branded summer season running May 26 through September 8, 2026. The program spans all four theme parks, both water parks, Disney Springs, and select resort hotels, with new character experiences, limited-time stage shows, and family-focused activities built around giving kids something to do even during the hottest parts of the Florida day. The biggest opening day is May 26, when four major experiences launch simultaneously across three parks, including the debut of Bluey’s Wild World at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Disney Resort hotel guests also get added perks throughout the summer, including early park entry.
