Disney4me Posted May 27 Report Posted May 27 Disney World’s annual summer bash just kicked off yesterday! Cool KIDS’ SUMMER is a celebration across all four Disney World parks that brought new ride openings like Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets, Soarin’ Across America, and the Walt Disney Studios Courtyard. But did you know that Cool Kids’ Summer also brings new summer fun to the resorts? We met Mickey! Cool Kids’ Summer has so many exciting new offerings for resort guests. In your hotel, you can find family-friendly activities, including pool parties, libraries, coloring stations, and more! If you’re staying at Art of Animation, Caribbean Beach, Pop Century, or Port Orleans Riverside from May 26th to September 8th, then you need to take advantage of these Cool Kids’ Summer perks. Character Greetings Twice a day during Cool Kids’ Summer, the four Disney World resorts will have character appearances in their lobbies! These are held twice daily, once in the morning and once in the afternoon, and times vary by resort. We met Mickey, Minnie, and Donald, but we asked a Cast Member who said that the character lineup can change throughout the summer. We met Mickey! Pool Parties Just for Cool Kids’ Summer, the four Disney World resorts will have daily pool parties! This includes pool games like beach ball and board games like Connect Four, plus prizes if you win! Most resorts throw the daily pool party from 2:30 to 3:30 PM, but times can vary by resort. Pool Party! Libraries All four of these Disney World resorts now have a library for hotel guests during Cool Kids’ Summer! You can take a book to read during your stay as long as you bring it back before check-out. They had a wide range of books from Disney Princess and Cars, to modern hits like Hoppers. If your little one needs to get their summer reading in, this setup is perfect! Library at Port Orleans Riverside Coloring Stations During Cool Kids’ Summer, the above resorts also have coloring stations set up! These varied by resort – some had a coloring packet you could take with you, while others had single sheets of paper. They all provided markers and crayons with a wide range of options! Should we color Dory or Lightning McQueen? Photo Spots Plus, these four resorts have a new themed photo spot during Cool Kids’ Summer. Every backdrop is a picture of the resort featuring the Cool Kids’ Summer logo, and some even include props like this mini Skyliner gondola at Caribbean Beach! These aren’t PhotoPass spots – you’ll have to snap the picture yourself – but they’re still a super fun way to remember your summer vacation! Photo Spot at Caribbean Beach Cool Kids’ Summer Merch When we checked into Port Orleans Riverside to see all of the fun resort-exclusive perks, we got a free Cool Kids’ Summer bag! The Cast Members checking us in also pointed us towards the free bookmarks at the reading stations. What’s a better way to remember your vacation than freebies? Our new park bag!
