GoofyCore at EPCOT

A Summer Escape for the Cool Kids

This summer, EPCOT is flipping the script on what it means to have a “cool” Disney vacation with its delightfully nostalgic and fresh “GoofyCore Experience.” Nestled between the shimmering Imagination Pavilion and Spaceship Earth, this special event combines retro charm with energetic fun—perfect for kids, families, and those young at heart. From classic character interactions to feel-good exercise activities, GoofyCore is shaping up to be the most unexpectedly wholesome—and classic Disney—experience of the season.

A Blast of Movement and Laughter

Forget long lines and screen time—GoofyCore invites kids to get up, get silly, and get moving. Each hour, interactive “Move It Like Goofy” sessions kick off the ultimate cool kid vibe!

These guided exercise moments feel more like dance parties than workouts. There’s nothing quite like watching a sea of kids try to do jumping jacks in sync with Goofy himself, flopping and giggling all the way through.

The music is upbeat and purposefully retro, with a touching yet subtle tribute to Disney’s golden-era sweetheart, Annette Funicello. The GoofyCore Experience features a Hokey Pokey sung by the Disney Legend.

Final Thoughts: Why GoofyCore Works

It’s not flashy, and it doesn’t need to be.

GoofyCore could have easily been another themed overlay, but it’s something more—a genuine return to what makes Disney magic feel timeless. It taps into physical play, emotional connection, and shared memory. It’s both retro and new, silly and sweet, and above all, sincere.

If you’re headed to EPCOT this summer with kids—or just a kid’s heart—don’t miss this cool-and-classic celebration. Lace up your sneakers, pack your giggle, and let Goofy show you how to summer the Disney way.

Because at GoofyCore, being goofy isn’t just allowed. It’s encouraged.
