Here is a perk that costs absolutely nothing and might end up being your kids’ favorite memory of the whole trip. As part of Cool Kids’ Summer, Walt Disney World is hosting free Mickey Mouse pajama parties on select nights at four resort hotels, complete with story time, bedtime activities, and characters who show up in their own pajamas.
Which Resorts Are Hosting Pajama Parties?
The pajama parties are part of a bigger package of family perks at four Walt Disney World hotels this summer: Disney’s Pop Century Resort, Disney’s Art of Animation Resort, Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort, and Disney’s Port Orleans Resort – Riverside. Disney detailed the full lineup on the Disney Parks Blog.
On select evenings, families can wind down with story time and a “create your own bedtime story” activity, where the magic of a good book comes to life with the arrival of a favorite Disney character. And yes, the characters commit to the theme. Mickey and Minnie have been spotted arriving in full pajamas and matching slippers, which is exactly the energy a bedtime party deserves.
Even More Perks At These Four Hotels
The pajama parties are just one piece of the Cool Kids’ Summer resort experience running May 26 through September 8, 2026. The same four hotels are also offering scheduled character appearances from pals like Mickey and Minnie, special libraries curated by Disney Publishing filled with princess and hero stories, poolside parties with games and music, and evening campfires with toasted marshmallows and Disney sing-alongs.
Families traveling with little ones can also pack lighter this summer. The four resorts are stocking complimentary essentials including bottle warmers, infant bathtubs, diaper disposal units, and nightlights, ready and waiting during your stay at no extra charge.
One More Freebie Worth Knowing
Do not forget the biggest included perk of the season: every Disney Resorts Collection hotel guest checking in between May 26 and September 8, 2026 gets admission to one Walt Disney World water park on their check-in day, included with their stay. Between that, the pajama parties, and everything else happening this season, there are plenty of ways to stretch a summer trip. Disney+ subscribers can even enter to win a free Walt Disney World vacation through the Cool Kids’ Summer sweepstakes.
