Woody and Jessie Are Coming to Magic Kingdom in Summer 2026

Cool KIDS’ SUMMER is adding a big dose of Toy Story magic at Magic Kingdom Park.

For a limited time during summer 2026, Woody, Jessie, and friends (who normally meet at Hollywood Studios) will take over the Diamond Horseshoe for a brand-new interactive experience created just for families with young kids.

Jessie’s Roundup Takes Over the Diamond Horseshoe

This special offering, called Jessie’s Roundup, invites families to join Toy Story pals for a high-energy western-style play experience.

Inside the Diamond Horseshoe, guests can:

  • Craft themed activities
  • Dance and yodel along with Jessie
  • Enjoy interactive, kid-friendly entertainment

This isn’t a traditional stage show. It is designed to be hands-on, silly, and flexible, which makes it ideal for younger kids who do not love sitting still.

Why This Experience Is Perfect for Summer Visits

Magic Kingdom can feel intense in the summer heat. Indoor, interactive experiences like this give families a chance to cool off while still feeling like they are doing something special.

Toy Story characters are consistently among the most popular with kids, and this setting offers a more relaxed way to interact with them compared to standard meet and greets. It’s also the first non-parade opportunity to see Woody and Jessie at Magic Kingdom

A Smart Addition to Cool KIDS’ SUMMER

This experience fits perfectly with Disney’s summer strategy:

  • More kid-focused entertainment
  • Shorter commitment activities
  • Air-conditioned spaces
  • Characters families already love

If you are traveling with preschoolers or elementary-age kids, this is the kind of offering that can become a surprise highlight of your trip.

Limited-Time Offering

Jessie’s Roundup is only available during Cool KIDS’ SUMMER 2026, making it a seasonal experience worth prioritizing if you are visiting Magic Kingdom between May 26 and September 8.
