Why a Walt Disney World Summer Vacation in 2025 Is the Best Idea Yet

Updated: Apr 29

If you’ve been dreaming about a Walt Disney World vacation, summer 2025 is shaping up to be one of the most magical—and affordable—times to go.


With exciting new entertainment, all six Disney parks open (including both water parks!), and multiple money-saving promotions available, this is a summer your family won’t want to miss.


Whether you’re planning your very first Disney trip or returning for a new adventure, there’s more to experience—and more to love—than ever before.


Here Are 3 Reasons Why A Summer Vacation at Walt Disney World in 2025 Hits Different:


1. All 6 Disney Parks Are Open—Including the Water Parks!

For the first time since 2019, all four Walt Disney World theme parks and both water parks will be open at the same time. And Disney is celebrating in a big way.


Bonus for summer travelers: If you book a Walt Disney World vacation package that includes a resort stay and theme park tickets, you’ll get FREE water park admission on your check-in day.


Whether you’re floating the lazy river at Typhoon Lagoon or splashing down slides at Blizzard Beach, this perk is the perfect way to cool off, relax, and start your vacation with zero pressure and maximum fun.


And yes—it’s a great way to beat the Florida heat before you even step foot into a theme park.


2. Brand-New Entertainment & Attractions Await

Think you’ve “done Disney” before? Think again. Summer 2025 is packed with new shows, parades, and experiences your family has never seen.


Here’s what’s new at Walt Disney World this summer:


  • 🎭 “Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After” – A high-energy stage show featuring iconic villains like Maleficent, Cruella de Vil, and Captain Hook

  • 🧜‍♀️ “The Little Mermaid – A Musical Adventure” – A reimagined musical experience that brings Ariel’s undersea world to life

  • 🌟 “Disney Starlight: Dream the Night Away” – A dazzling nighttime parade inspired by Encanto, Frozen, Moana, and more


Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a lifelong Disney fan, these brand-new experiences are reason enough to make 2025 your year to go.


3. Huge Summer Savings Make It More Affordable Than Ever
