Big Summer Magic: Stormalong Bay, Celebrate America Fireworks, and Test Track Reimagining!
Summer 2025 is bringing the heat and the magic to Walt Disney World! From sparkling celebrations in the skies to refreshing dips and thrilling reimagined rides, there's no shortage of excitement for Disney fans planning their next adventure. Here are three big things happening around the World that you won’t want to miss.
Stormalong Bay Reopens at Yacht & Beach Club
After a lengthy refurbishment, the beloved Stormalong Bay pool complex at Disney’s Yacht and Beach Club Resorts is making waves once again! Widely considered the crown jewel of Disney resort pools, this 3-acre aquatic oasis features a sand-bottom pool, lazy river, towering shipwreck slide, and plenty of space to lounge and cool off. Just in time for those steamy summer afternoons, guests can now enjoy a refreshed, sparkling version of this fan-favorite.
"Disney’s Celebrate America!" Lights Up the Sky July 3rd & 4th
Time to celebrate the red, white, and blue; Disney style! “Disney’s Celebrate America! A Fourth of July Concert in the Sky” returns to Magic Kingdom for two nights only: July 3rd and 4th. This limited-time fireworks spectacular is packed with patriotic music, perimeter bursts, and a moving tribute to the spirit of the United States. It’s one of the most epic fireworks shows Disney presents all year and a must-see if you’re in the parks for the holiday. Or even if you are not. Disney Nerd Tip, you can watch any of the Magic Kingdom Fireworks from the MK Hotels, if you have dinner reservations. Another spot which is tougher to get to, but you have a clear shot of the Magic Kingdom from the top of the Ferry Ramp and the Ticket and Transportation Center and the fireworks are awesome from there.
Test Track Reimagining Hits the Road July 22nd
The countdown is on for the next generation of EPCOT thrills! The newly reimagined Test Track will officially reopen on July 22nd, with cast member previews beginning in late June. The attraction will feature futuristic ride vehicles, an updated story inspired by EPCOT’s classic World of Motion, and brand-new interactive elements that blend nostalgia with next-gen tech. It’s a bold new test drive through innovation, speed, and imagination.
Plan Your Visit
With so much happening this summer, it's the perfect time to plan your Disney vacation. Whether you're floating through Stormalong Bay, standing in awe during the fireworks, or racing through the future at Test Track, Disney has something magical waiting for everyone.
