GoofyCore is returning to EPCOT for Cool Kids Summer, bringing a colorful family offering back to CommuniCore Hall. As Disney prepares the space, guests can expect an indoor spot with games, dancing, and kid-focused entertainment in the center of the park.
New Decorations at CommuniCore Hall
CommuniCore Hall is already getting its seasonal update. Disney has added bright decals across the doors and windows beneath the marquee, giving the building a playful look before guests even enter.
The exterior features music notes, stars, colorful paint splashes, Goofy’s white gloves, and his green hat. A large central panel shows Goofy with the GoofyCore logo, while other graphics include Cool Kids Summer branding, paint drip effects, and details inspired by Goofy’s Game Machine.
Making Way for Summer Fun
To make room for GoofyCore, EPCOT closed Spike’s Garden inside CommuniCore Hall after the Flower and Garden Festival. The change marks the shift from spring festival programming to summer entertainment and shows how Disney is continuing to use the space for seasonal offerings.
What Families Can Expect
GoofyCore debuted last year and quickly became a popular stop for families. The indoor experience includes games, dancing, and interactive activities led by Goofy, giving kids a place to play and cool off in air conditioning.
Cool Kids Summer begins on May 26 and runs through September 8, 2026. That gives families visiting during the busy summer season plenty of time to experience the offering. Disney has also tied the event to local education efforts, including school programs connected to the seasonal campaign.
Conclusion
GoofyCore adds another kid-friendly summer option at EPCOT, with bright theming and indoor activities that make it a practical stop for families. For guests visiting during Cool Kids Summer, CommuniCore Hall should once again be a useful place to take a break and let kids enjoy some extra fun.
