EPCOT’s GoofyCore and Grab-N-Goof: The Ultimate Cool Kids’ Summer Experience
If you’re visiting Walt Disney World this summer with kids, there’s an experience at EPCOT you won’t want to miss. As part of Disney’s Cool Kids Summer celebration, EPCOT is home to GoofyCore, an interactive play space filled with games, dancing, and plenty of goofy fun. And when it’s time for a snack break, Grab-N-Goof serves up playful treats inspired by everyone’s favorite goofball.
Here’s everything you need to know about GoofyCore and Grab-N-Goof at EPCOT.
GoofyCore
What Is GoofyCore at EPCOT?
Located inside CommuniCore Hall, GoofyCore is a limited-time experience designed specifically for families and younger guests. Hosted by Goofy, DJ Dance Pants, and the Goof Troop, this energetic play space gives kids the chance to move, dance, and play while taking a break from traditional attractions.
Activities include:
Goofy Says
Balloon Bonanza
Parachutes ‘n’ Pipsqueaks
Interactive games
Dance parties with DJ Dance Pants
Character appearances featuring Goofy
One of the things I love most about GoofyCore is that it gives kids a chance to simply be kids. While EPCOT is often known for World Showcase, festivals, and dining, this space offers a dedicated area where children can burn off energy and have fun in a way that’s completely different from riding attractions.
Why Families Will Love GoofyCore
Summer at Walt Disney World can be hot, and sometimes kids need a break from waiting in lines. GoofyCore provides an air-conditioned space where families can relax while children participate in activities.
It’s also a great option for:
Toddlers and younger children
Families taking a midday break
Kids who enjoy interactive play
Parents looking for something beyond rides
The atmosphere is full of bright colors, music, and classic Goofy humor, making it one of the most unique family offerings at EPCOT this summer.
