Walt Disney World has published a guide to playgrounds and other children’s play spaces around the resort, highlighting existing indoor and outdoor areas along with new and planned additions for younger visitors.
At Disney’s Hollywood Studios, the recently opened Drawn to Wonderland indoor playground is located inside The Magic of Disney Animation. Inspired by Alice in Wonderland, it includes interactive areas and a space designed for younger children. Disney is also developing Epic Jr. Stunt Spectacular!, an outdoor playground near Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular! that is expected to open in the coming months.
Disney’s Animal Kingdom is slated to receive another play area as part of the future Tropical Americas land in Pueblo Esperanza. The park lost The Boneyard, the dinosaur-themed children’s playground in DinoLand U.S.A., during the area’s transformation. Disney has not announced an opening date for the new playground.
Families can also find established play options elsewhere at the resort. Magic Kingdom’s Dumbo the Flying Elephant includes an indoor playground for children waiting to ride, and its upper level has reopened. EPCOT lists Bruce’s Shark World, Space Base and outdoor playgrounds among its play offerings; some spaces change with the park’s festivals.
