GoofyCore Returns to EPCOT’s CommuniCore Hall for Cool Kid Summer

The seasonal overlay aims to drive summer family visits by converting CommuniCore Hall into a play-focused space centered on a DJ-led 'Game Machine' with live activities.

Overview

  • GoofyCore opened Tuesday, May 26, 2026, and runs through September 8 with daily scheduled shows at posted times including 10:30, 11:30, 12:30, 1:30, 3:15, 4:15 and 5:15.
  • Organizers removed most furniture to create open play space and installed a central multi-column platform called Goofy’s Game Machine that houses the DJ and mounted TV screens showing classic Goofy cartoons.
  • Costumed Cast Members billed as the Goof Troop and DJ Dance Pants lead participatory games and dance segments such as limbo, parachute play, Goofy-style Simon Says and a themed hokey-pokey.
  • Reports say there is no merchandise or food sold inside CommuniCore Hall and that themed snacks and drinks are available outside at a Grab‑N‑Goof kiosk with items like Chicken Goof‑Ups and a blue raspberry 'Goofy’s Gone Fishing' drink.
  • GoofyCore is a returning, limited-time overlay used to refresh EPCOT’s summer lineup and drive family engagement, with current coverage based on fan-site photos and firsthand reporting rather than an official Walt Disney World press release.
