Cool Kid Summer 2025: Your Ultimate Guide to Fun at Walt Disney World

Get ready to turn up the summer fun at Walt Disney World Resort with the all-new Cool Kid Summer celebration, running from May 27 through September 1, 2025! This vibrant seasonal event is designed for kids and the young-at-heart, bringing DJ-powered dance parties, surprise character appearances, hands-on activities, and nonstop summer vibes across all four theme parks.

Cool Kid Summer Across the Parks

At EPCOT, the party heats up in CommuniCore Hall with GoofyCore, an interactive playground where Goofy leads dance parties, fun games like Loopy Limbo, and playful parachute activities. Meanwhile, Disney’s Animal Kingdom offers exciting hands-on crafts about pollinators at Rafiki’s Planet Watch, a special Wilderness Explorer badge, and a lively sing-along celebration at Discovery Island.

Over at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Animation Courtyard becomes a hub of creativity with magicians, jump rope performers, surprise characters, and an energetic indoor DJ dance party featuring Mickey Mouse and Disney Junior friends. Expect jaw-dropping new stage shows too, including “Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After” and “The Little Mermaid – A Musical Adventure.”

Finally, the fun continues in Magic Kingdom Park with Big Top Bash at Storybook Circus – a circus-themed dance party full of silliness, stilt walkers, and jugglers. Tomorrowland’s Galactic Blast invites guests to dance with Stitch at a dynamic DJ party, plus enjoy crafts inspired by Disney-Pixar’s upcoming film “Elio.” And later in summer, the spectacular new nighttime show “Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away” will light up the skies with favorites from “Encanto,” “Frozen,” and “Coco.”

Extra Perks for Staying in the Magic

Guests staying at Disney Resort Collection hotels get free admission to either Typhoon Lagoon or Blizzard Beach water parks on the day of check-in starting May 21, plus 30 minutes of early theme park entry each day to beat the crowds and perhaps even spot some characters.

            The World as Your Classroom: A Journey into Learning Adventures with World Schooling

            In a world where education has traditionally been confined to the four walls of a classroom, there’s a movement that’s redefining the way we learn. World Schooling, as it’s called, is a concept that has been gaining momentum in recent years. It’s not just a method of education; it’s a way of life that offers a unique and enriching approach to learning.

            What is World Schooling?

            At its core, world schooling is an approach to education that takes learning outside the traditional classroom and into the real world. It’s about using the world as your textbook and embracing the myriad of experiences, cultures, and landscapes it has to offer as opportunities for learning.

            Why World Schooling?

            Experiential Learning: World schooling is all about learning through experiences. Whether it’s visiting historical sites, immersing yourself in local cultures, or exploring nature, every moment becomes a lesson.

            Cultural Immersion: One of the greatest advantages of world schooling is the opportunity for cultural immersion. Living among or just spending time with local people, trying their cuisine, and participating in their traditions fosters a deep understanding and appreciation of diversity.

            Flexibility: World schooling offers complete flexibility in curriculum. You can tailor your learning to suit your child’s interests and passions, ensuring a more engaging and enjoyable educational experience.

            Life Skills: Beyond academic knowledge, world schooling emphasizes the development of life skills like adaptability, problem-solving, and communication- skills that are invaluable in the real world.

            How to Get Started

            Set Your Goals: Determine your educational objectives and what you want to achieve through world schooling. This will guide your world schooling journey.

            Choose Your Destinations: Select places that align with your learning goals. Consider factors like culture, history, language, and natural wonders.

            Plan Your Budget: World schooling doesn’t have to be expensive, but it can require careful financial planning. Create a budget that covers travel, accommodations, and education resources like unique experiences in the destination.

            Legal and Visa Considerations: Research the visa requirements of any countries you’d like to visit. Some places do have specific rules for homeschooling or remote learning.

            Educational Resources: Gather educational materials, books, online courses, and tools that will support your learning journey.

            Living the World Schooling Lifestyle

            Document Your Journey: Keep a journal, blog or vlog to document your experiences and lessons learned.

            Local Engagement: Interact with locals, participate in community activities, and even volunteer at your destination to truly immerse yourself in a culture.

            Balancing Travel and Education: Find a rhythm that works for you. Some days might be dedicated to exploring, while others focus on studying.

            Although world schooling can present challenges, your family will certainly benefit from personal growth in addition to a broader perspective and deeper appreciation for the world’s diversity.

            World schooling is more than just an education style. It’s a life-changing adventure that opens doors to new experiences. It’s an opprtunity to embrace the world as your classroom and learn from it in the most profound and enriching ways. So, if you’ve ever dreamed of turning your wanderlust into a learning experience, world schooling might be the perfect journey for you and your family. It’s a path less traveled, but the rewards are boundless, and the lessons are unforgettable.
