Following the announcement of Cool Kids’ Summer at Walt Disney World (May 26–September 8, 2026), Disney is hosting free pop-up events in Atlanta on March 26 and Houston on April 2. These public previews feature oversized props, photo ops, and giveaways teasing the seasonal lineup.
The Cool Kids’ Summer Market Tour kicked off earlier this month in New York City and now brings previews to the South. Atlanta's event is set for March 26 at Pemberton Place near the World of Coca-Cola from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.—free and open to all, no park ticket needed. Houston follows on April 2 at Hermann Park Lake Plaza during the same hours, as shared by Disney and noted by Theme Park Shark on X. These pop-ups build excitement for the Orlando parks' summer entertainment, allowing local families to experience Disney magic ahead of visits.
