What’s Happening:

  • This summer, Mickey & Friends will sport new tropical fruit-inspired looks, including Mickey's flamingo sunglasses and polka-dot shirt, and Minnie's cherry-themed dress.
  • Duffy & Friends will dress in voyage-themed outfits based on sea creatures, such as Duffy’s whale vest, StellaLou’s mermaid costume, and LinaBell’s octopus skirt.
  • To escape the summer heat, the park will feature dedicated cooling zones and tents with AC.

Entertainment:

  • There are also some new water-themed shows, Disney Duffy’s Splashing Pre-Parade and the ‘Summer Blast’ Castle Show (starting July 2nd).
  • The lineup also features the Ralph Breaks the Dance Floor Summer Party, Backyard Splash Around, Disney Explorer Band, and summer versions of The JAMMitors and Swabbie Fight.
  • The Rhythm of Adventure will run from June 20 to August 24 inside the Storehouse Stage.

Dining:

  • New dishes at Stargazer Grill include the "Flamin' Mad Burger & Fries," a spicy red chicken burger directly inspired by the character Anger from Inside Out.
  • Other new items include "Boo-tifully Tender Inside Tomahawk Rice" (inspired by Sulley), "Shake & Shuffle Fries" (multicolored fries inspired by Randall), and a "Jack-Jack Big Bite Cookie."

  • Guests can find fruit-inspired pastries at CookieAnn Bakery and Pineapple Shaved Ice at Snackin’ Kraken.
  • A new Disney LinaBell Souvenir Cup and a Mickey Mouse-themed sipper will be available for purchase.

Merchandise:

  • Three merchandise lines will also premiere this summer:
    • 2025 Mickey and Friends Summer Vibes Collection: This collection is themed to a pool party, with imagery of swimming rings, ice cream, and pineapples featured on items like bags, shirts, and headwear.
    • 2025 Summer Duffy and Friends Ocean Party Collection: This line incorporates jellyfish, shells, and other marine elements into its designs. The collection will feature practical items such as tote bags and bucket hats.
    • 2025 Stitch and Angel Tropical Beach Collection: Drawing inspiration from Hawaiian beaches, this collection will feature coconut trees, tropical fruits, and sunshine motifs woven into a diverse array of clothing and accessories.

About the Summer Celebration:

  • The new Stitch-themed "takeover" of Tomorrowland officially kicks off on June 26th, a date celebrated by fans as "Stitch Day" in a nod to his designation as Experiment 626.
  • The water-based "Summer Blast" castle show has been a staple of nearly every summer since the park opened.
  • The summer festivities mark a shift from the temporary seasonal attractions of the past to permanent additions: "Pixar Adventurous Journey" exhibition, the reimagined "Junior Explorers Camp," and the "Stitch Space Base" (which will be completed with a permanent game zone in the fall).
