Discover six ways to dive into the magic, stay refreshed, and have fun at Walt Disney World Resort this summer
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (July 12, 2024) – Summer has officially arrived, and there is no better place to dive into watery fun than at Walt Disney World Resort in Florida.
With four world-famous theme parks, two incredible water parks and elaborately themed swimming pools at dozens of Disney Resorts Collection hotels, there are endless opportunities for guests to dip into summer fun.
Here are six ways guests can have a splash-tastic summer at Walt Disney World.
Jump Into Themed Pools at Disney Resorts Collection hotels: The more than two dozen Disney Resorts Collection hotels feature spectacular pools for relaxation and fun for the whole family. Disney’s Yacht & Beach Club Resorts are home to a three-acre water wonderland with a sandy-bottom pool, lazy river and a shipwreck replica that features one of the tallest water slides of any Disney Resorts Collection hotel pool. At Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort, the pirate-inspired Fuentes del Morro Pool features two waterslides and huge water cannons. “Finding Nemo” provides inspiration for the Big Blue Pool at Disney’s Art of Animation Resort. It is the largest Disney Resorts Collection hotel pool, with 308,527 gallons of water and an underwater sound system. For moms and dads looking for quiet time or adults traveling without children, most Disney Resorts Collection hotels offer separate quiet pools that are perfect for sunning and soaking.
Splash Into Fun at Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon: There is something for everyone at Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon. The tropical-themed water park boasts thrilling attractions like Crush ‘n Gusher water coaster, relaxing lazy river journeys along Castaway Creek and kid-friendly fun at Ketchakiddee Creek. The popular Disney H2O Glow After Hours event is offered on select nights now through August 31. This specially ticketed, nighttime beach bash allows families to spend several hours enjoying the water park after it closes. Other event benefits include quick access to favorite attractions, surprise character appearances, and complimentary ice cream, popcorn and beverages.
Get Wet on Thrilling Theme Park Attractions: Whether it’s a 50-foot plunge into the bayou or frolicking in a splash pad of playful fountains, theme parks at Walt Disney World offer “just the right amount of wet” for every age. Guests can “take the plunge” on an exhilarating musical water adventure in the new Tiana’s Bayou Adventure at Magic Kingdom Park. It crescendos with a 50-foot drop that leads to the grandest Mardi Gras celebration this side of the Mississippi. Or, for a soaking good time, Kali River Rapids at Disney’s Animal Kingdom whisks guests along fast-moving rapids.
Learn about Water Conservation at Journey of Water, Inspired by Moana: Only at EPCOT can guests engage with water in magical ways just like Moana did in the hit Walt Disney Animation Studios film “Moana.” From the youngest little ones to the generations who are young at heart, every member of the family can enjoy this fun, lively and interactive experience as they discover ways to befriend, protect and cherish the water that connects and gives life to the world.
If you don’t care to get wet, but still want to stay cool, there are plenty of dry path options.
Go Under the Sea and Experience Marine Life Up-Close: The Seas with Nemo & Friends at EPCOT offers an ocean of fun for guests. Aboard “clammobiles,” they descend beneath the waves to an underwater world based on the hit Disney and Pixar film “Finding Nemo.” Guests can marvel at the pavilion’s massive 5.7-million-gallon saltwater aquarium, shoot the breeze under the seas in Turtle Talk with Crush, and discover playful ocean-themed exhibits that entertain and educate about sharks, sea turtles, stingrays, and more.
Stay Cool and Look Cool with Merchandise: Beat the heat in style with Disney-themed cooling towels, misting fans, and other refreshing merchandise available throughout the theme parks, Disney Resort hotels and Disney Springs. Stay comfortable while enjoying all that Walt Disney World has to offer.
