Walt Disney World has published a guide to playgrounds and interactive play areas across its four theme parks and several resort hotels, highlighting places where young visitors can climb, splash and explore outside of a traditional attraction queue.
The guide, published Nov. 9, 2026, includes existing spaces as well as play areas planned for upcoming park additions. At Disney’s Hollywood Studios, the indoor Drawn to Wonderland play space is open inside The Magic of Disney Animation. Inspired by Alice in Wonderland and the work of Disney Legend Mary Blair, it includes an interactive Mad Hatter tea party table and a Queen of Hearts rose garden, with nearby seating for parents.
Hollywood Studios is also slated to receive Epic Jr. Stunt Spectacular!, an outdoor playground near Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular!. Disney says the area will include themed play structures and interactive elements inspired by the neighboring stunt show. An exact opening date has not been announced.
At Disney’s Animal Kingdom, a themed playground is planned for Pueblo Esperanza, the village area in the forthcoming Tropical Americas land. Disney has not detailed its features or announced an opening date. The planned play space follows the loss of The Boneyard, the dinosaur-themed playground in DinoLand U.S.A., as that area is replaced.
