Guests will find even more fun activities at Walt Disney World this summer. Check out the two play areas that have just reopened to Guests.

Magic Kingdom Play Area Reopened

As Walt Disney World reopened in July 2020, many things had changed. One of the most understandable changes involved the closure of many high touch surface activities. The saddest closure for my family was finding the interactive elements for the queue of Seven Dwarfs Mine Train roped off.

Recently, Guests visiting the Magic Kingdom were delighted to enjoy the Dumbo play area once again! This is an air-conditioned play area for your kids to run around in the big tent while you wait. Young Guests love the opportunity to enjoy this fun circus themed play space.

We were so excited to hear about this area being reopened. This did lead us to wonder if additional play areas may be reopened. We are left wondering no more. Two additional play areas have since reopened.

Mission: Space

After cadets both young and the young at heart have completed their mission on Mission: Space, they will now be able to enjoy this fun interactive play area once again.

The smallest space explorers will be inspired to reach for the stars as they crawl through wormholes in a fun interactive playground.” This play area will be having young cadets truly believing that they can go out of this world.

At this time, the Mission Space Race that feature interactive digital games for older cadets is still closed. We are hoping that it may be able to open again soon.

EPCOT Splash Zone

Just in time to beat the summer heat, young Disney Guests can enjoy the splash pad located on the main pathway where Future World connects to the World Showcase. This is conveniently close to Mission: Space.

This will be such a fun way to cool down after a fun day in the Parks. We are hoping that even more outdoor and indoor play areas will reopen soon. Unfortunately, the outdoor playgrounds have yet to reopen.
