Playalong Bay Playground Presented by Smucker’s Uncrustables
The Playalong Bay Playground presented by Smucker’s Uncrustables is inspired by Disney’s Yacht & Beach Club Resorts. The theme of the play area “celebrates childhood adventures and scenic afternoons spent by the sea.”
Various theming elements and props surround the playground including boat oars, life preservers, a picnic blanket, and a basket filled with Smucker’s Uncrustables. A pole with signs points to different places that are themed to elements of Smucker’s Uncrustablessuch as “Raspberry Beach” and “Grape Canaveral.”
A sign near the entrance states that Playalong Bay is intended for children ages 5-12 years old and that they should be supervised at all times.
A photo op is located at the edge of the playground where kids can place their face into the cutout on the board that depicts an octopus eating multiple Uncrustables with the phrase “Wich [sic] you were here!”
On the reverse side of the photo op is a sign that provides the background story of Playalong Bay.
The playground features various interactive elements that children can explore.
There are many nautical elements throughout the playground including props that resemble rocks covered in shells and starfish. There is also a climbing structure that resembles a piece of driftwood.
Near the front of the playground is a seating area with blue Adirondack-style chairs.
Off to the side of the playground are picnic tables and bar tables for guests to enjoy food and beverages from the nearby outdoor kitchens, Yacht Grub and Beach Grub, continuing the theme of Disney’s Yacht & Beach Club Resorts.
The table tops are wrapped in a covering resembling a picnic table with the Smucker’s Uncrustables logo at the center.
Among the landscaping are different plants and flowers with signage labeling them. The two plants depicted above are Tropical Milkweed and Fakahatchee Grass.
Playalong Bay Playground is Disney’s first-ever resort hotel-themed playground for the EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival. You can view the festival menus for the two corresponding outdoor kitchens, Yacht Grub and Beach Grub.
