Cool Kids’ Summer is returning for 2026! It will begin on May 26 and run through September 8. There is extra fun across Walt Disney World. Since there’s a lot of information floating around, I thought I’d break it down for you by location. Here’s what we know so far about Cool Kids’ Summer at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
The main attraction for Cool Kids’ Summer will be Disney Jr. Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Live! Unlike other Cool Kids’ Summer offerings, the new show is permanent.
Here’s the official description, from Alex González and Disney Parks Blog:
Get ready to Mousekedance! Coming May 26 and staying beyond summer, a brand-new show is stepping into the spotlight at Disney’s Hollywood Studios and it’s packed with toe-tapping fun for the whole family.
Inspired by Disney Jr.’s global hit series Mickey Mouse Clubhouse+, this high energy celebration invites everyone to the ultimate party at the Clubhouse. Mickey and Minnie are all set for the big bash…but there’s just one tiny problem – their pals haven’t arrived yet!
That means it’s time to hit the road! Join Mickey and Minnie as you help track down Goofy, Daisy and Pluto in an adventure filled with catchy original songs, interactive moments and plenty of chances to clap, cheer and dance.
There should be more to Cool Kids’ Summer at Disney’s Hollywood Studios than just the new show. While The Magic of Disney Animation will not open on May 26, most of Animation Courtyard should be available. Last year, there were extra characters roaming through the area. This has not been announced for 2026, but I’d be shocked if we don’t see them. It would also be nice to see the return of some Disney Jr. characters to the area. No characters for Animation Courtyard have yet been announced.
