Summer is heating up in Orlando, and if you’re planning your Orlando trip, Disney World is rolling out fantastic offers plus new rides to keep your family enchanted all season long. Unlike past summers, 2025 brings fresh thrills and great value—making it one of the best times yet to visit!
Let’s start with savings. From May 27 to September 20, Disney’s offering 50% off kids’ tickets for 3-day or longer visits. There’s also a 3‑Park ticket starting at just $89/day, covering Epcot, Hollywood Studios, and Animal Kingdom. Plus, grab a Free Dining Plan when you stay four nights at select Disney Resort Hotels from June 29 through December 22, and rooms are discounted up to 30% for stays between August 1 and October 11. For Florida residents or Disney+ subscribers, rates at All‑Star Sports start around $99/night—such a steal!
Now, what’s new: beginning May 27, enjoy “The Little Mermaid – A Musical Adventure” and “Villains’ Spectacular”, two colorful live shows at Hollywood Studios. Magic Kingdom will soon dazzle with a brand-new Starlight Magic Parade, brimming with electrifying floats and beloved characters—think a modern twist on the Electric Light Parade.
For thrill-seekers, Test Track at Epcot reopens July 22 with a fresh storyline, upbeat music, and nods to the nostalgic World of Motion ride. And don’t forget about H2O Glow Nights at Typhoon Lagoon—an epic after-dark water park event perfect for families looking to make a splash.
Insider Family Tips:
- Early Entry perks: Kids meet favorite characters before park hours, especially at Storybook Circus and Tomorrowland.
- Beat the heat: Pack ponchos and a change of clothes—summer showers are Florida’s norm.
- Park hopping made easy: Since January 2024, hopping between parks is allowed any time after opening with Park Hopper tickets—no need to wait until 2 p.m. anymore.
What to Expect on Arrival:
Expect gentle summer crowds with school out, but smart use of Genie+, Early Entry, and crowd calendars can help you maximize rides. Stay hydrated, pace your day, and let the kids recharge during character meet‑and‑greets or midday shows.
Nearby Extras:
Complement your Disney days with a splash at Typhoon Lagoon or a round of mini‑golf at Disney’s Fantasia Gardens. Or sneak over to Disney Springs for family-friendly dining, live music, and charming fountains.
