The Disney parks are full of fun, magic, attractions, and entertainment that will keep you enthralled for the entire day. The Disney parks makes it easy to travel with children because their parks are set up to include all members of the family. There are so many rides and attractions that all members of the family can enjoy together. If you have a high-energy child and are concerned about their ability to wait in lines and keep the pace of the day then don’t worry! The Disney parks have several play areas that are designed for kids to get their energy out! If you are visiting Disney World with your family then be sure to check out these play areas for kids.
Dumbo The Flying Elephant Playground
Did you know there’s a playground inside the Dumbo The Flying Elephant queue? Guests entering the standby queue can enter the playground with their kids and are given a buzzer to return to the line when it’s there time to ride. This circus-themed play zone has an area for toddlers as well as big kids. There’s lots of climbing, sliding, and fun to be had. This is a great way for your kids to burn off some energy rather than waiting in a standard line.
Green Landing Family Play Zone at EPCOT
EPCOT is home to a cute playground called Green Landing Family Play Zone. Located near Test Track, this playground has plenty of climbing and opportunities for exploration for your little one to enjoy. Constructed on a soft “grassy” area, this playground is safe and fun for even the smallest members of your family. With its convenient location near Test Track, this is a great spot for families to split up and have one parent take the older kids to the thrill ride.
Advanced Training Lab at EPCOT
Located near the exit of Mission: Space you’ll find the Advanced Training Lab. This play zone is great for older kids, but has something for little ones as well. This high-tech play area is full of interactive games, alongside an interactive playground and climbing structure. The perfect place to wait for another parent to get off of the ride.
Casey Jr. Splash n Soak Station
Also located near the Dumbo attraction is Casey Jr. Splash n Soak Station. Be sure to bring an extra change of clothes if you want your child to be able to enjoy this splash zone to the fullest. Water features squirt and children splash as they cool off with this splash pad-style play area.
Coming Soon! Drawn to Wonderland at Hollywood Studios
Coming in 2026 to Hollywood Studios is an all-new playground experience. Drawn to Wonderland will be opening in the soon-to-be-reimagined Animation Courtyard. This playground will have designs inspired by the original storyboards of Alice in Wonderland.
