Play Like a Kid Again as GoofyCore Returns to EPCOT for Cool Kids Summer

Summer is officially here, and EPCOT is throwing the ultimate unlocked-core-memory party for families. If you’ve been looking for an excuse to let loose and embrace your inner cartoon, the wait is over. CommuniCore Hall has officially transformed into the zaniest spot in Walt Disney World as GoofyCore returns for Cool Kids Summer.

Running through September 8, 2026, this limited-time takeover is all about shedding the rules of being a grown-up and remembering exactly what it feels like to play like a kid again.

The second you step inside, the energy hits you. Music is pumping, the walls are covered in bright, splattered decals and wacky paint motifs, and DJ Dance Pants is already spinning tracks alongside the Goof Troop. This isn’t your average, polite Disney meet-and-greet, it’s an all-out, high-energy dance party where having wiggly moves, freestyle chaos, and explosive belly laughs is entirely the point. There is absolutely no wrong way to groove here; in fact, the rules are simple: the goofier the dance, the better.

But the silliness doesn’t stop on the dance floor. Goofy’s Game Machine is up and running, treating families to interactive games with playful, topsy-turvy twists. You can test your flexibility in a round of Loopy Limbo that keeps everyone guessing, or watch classic playground favorites turn into larger-than-life adventures with games like Goofy Says and Parachutes ‘n’ Pipsqueaks. Every single activity is meticulously designed to get kids moving, giggling, and making unforgettable summer memories alongside the main mouse’s best pal.

Of course, burning all that energy means you’re going to work up an appetite, and the event has you covered with some brilliantly themed snacks right outside the hall at the Grab-N-Goof kiosk. You can fuel up on Chicken Goof-Ups (breaded chicken breast bites tossed with fried cheese curds) or grab a Goof Troop Mac Snack (fried mac and cheese with marinara). Wash it all down with Goofy’s Gone Fishing, a blue raspberry lemonade loaded with strawberry juice pearls and gummy sharks, and top it off with the Gawrsh! Worms Everywhere Cake. It’s the perfect, messy, delicious fuel for a summer day spent entirely in your element.
