Cool kid Summer New Events for 2026!

If you’re planning a summer visit to Disney Springs in 2026, there’s a fresh lineup of activities that make it a must-visit spot for families, even if you don’t plan to enter the theme parks. One standout experience is the Mickey & Minnie edible watercolor cookie kits from Amorette’s Patisserie. These kits let kids and adults alike decorate delicious cookies with edible paints and brushes, combining creativity with tasty treats—an excellent way to engage your kids in a fun, hands-on activity that’s both sweet and memorable. Beyond the cookie kits, Disney Springs is adding seasonal events like the Kids Club at the Marketplace Splash Pad, running Saturdays and Sundays through early September. It features dance parties and entertainment inspired by Polynesian culture, bringing exotic rhythms and vibrant performances that everyone can enjoy. These gatherings provide a lively atmosphere perfect for young Disney fans to dance, play, and experience a slice of island culture. On select Tuesday to Thursday evenings, the DescenDANCE Party at the AdventHealth Waterside Stage features Camp Rock Jam events, blending music, dance, and interactive fun that appeals to all ages. This series of activities offers a dynamic alternative to the usual park attractions and is an excellent way to unwind and enjoy quality time with family. Additionally, there’s a charming opportunity for kids to write letters to Santa at Disney’s Days to Christmas, adding an early holiday spirit to the summer festivities. To complete the offering, discounted children’s tickets for the acclaimed Cirque du Soleil show Drawn to Life add entertainment value to your Disney Springs summer itinerary. What makes these events particularly appealing is the variety of activities that encourage families to create shared memories outside of the typical theme park experience. Whether it’s decorating adorable Mickey and Minnie cookies, joining a lively dance party, or splashing around at the marketplace splash pad, there’s something for every cool kid to enjoy. This mix of artistry, culture, and interactive fun provides a fresh, engaging way to experience Disney Springs during the summer of 2026.
