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 the Magic Kingdom.
Jessie’s Roundup: A Rip-Roarin’ Revue is coming to The Diamond Horseshoe. It will feature Jessie, Woody, Buzz, Bullseye, and more. This is not character dining, it’s more of an experience. From Alex González and Disney Parks Blog:
Young deputies are invited to mosey on over to the Diamond Horseshoe at Magic Kingdom for a rootin’ tootin’ good time. Just for this summer, join Jessie, Woody, Bullseye and more Toy Story pals for an energized roundup with songs, dance, games, and other playful activities.
The Diamond Horseshoe will temporarily close on May 16 to prepare for Cool Kids’ Summer. It will return to normal operations sometime in the fall. Prices and the menu for Jessie’s Roundup: A Rip-Roarin’ Revue have yet to be announced.
During Cool Kids’ Summer at the Magic Kingdom in 2025, there were plenty of extra surprises. I expect that we’ll see additional characters, entertainment, dance parties, and the like.
