Everyone’s Welcome: All-Ages Playground Now Open at Disney World

Walt Disney World Resort is welcoming guests of all ages to enjoy a brand-new, limited-time attraction: the Harvest Hallow Playground at EPCOT. This exciting new space, which debuted as part of the 2025 EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival, is a family-friendly space featuring whimsical, fall-inspired designs and adorable woodland creatures.

On August 28, 2025, Walt Disney World Resort unveiled the Harvest Hallow Playground, tucked in a flex space within the World Discovery neighborhood of EPCOT. This area was previously used for the Stormalong Bay-themed playground during the EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival in early 2025. The new, fall-themed playground promises fun for everyone, whether they’re kids or kids at heart.

The playground is located next to the Global Marketplaces area, which includes food kiosks like Forest & Field, Milled & Mulled, and Bramblewood Bites. The area is themed to celebrate the fall season, with lots of cute farm-themed decorations built by new woodland critter characters: Squirrel and Fox.

The Harvest Hallow Playground has been designed with both comfort and fun in mind. According to WDWNT, it features artificial turf, shaded canopies, and fall-themed landscaping to create a welcoming atmosphere. Young visitors can explore faux hollow logs, mushroom steps, and other wood-inspired climbing structures that tie into the fall harvest theme.

The playground is also equipped with both adult and child-sized picnic tables, perfect for sitting down to enjoy a meal while keeping an eye on the little ones. Acorn-shaped stools scattered throughout the space are the ideal spot for the youngest EPCOT guests to enjoy a snack.

The Harvest Hallow Playground will be open for the duration of the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival, which runs through November 22, 2025.
