The guides all have blue covers with red-orange borders. They feature graphics representing the park and its Cool Kid Summer offerings, plus pictures of guests.

Cool Kid Summer Magic Kingdom Guide

In the first fold of each guide is basic information. For Magic Kingdom, it lists day entertainment: Disney Adventure Friends Cavalcade, Disney Festival of Fantasy Parade, and Mickey’s Magical Friendship Faire. There’s a “Staying Up Late?” section, which mentions the “Happily Ever After” fireworks spectacular.

The “Tips for Adults” section lists information about rider switch, the baby care center, strollers and lockers, and where guests can purchase baby care products. Listed on the opposite page are character greeting locations and the interactive experiences Smellephants on Parade and A Pirate’s Adventure – Treasures of the Seven Seas.

The map is a minimalist version of the regular Magic Kingdom map with vibrant colors. It only lists attractions and experiences appropriate for young children. Bigger rides like Space Mountain and Tiana’s Bayou Adventure are left off. There are also “Cool Kid Summer” labels on the two limited-time offerings — the Big Top Bash and Galactic Blast dance parties.

Cool Kid Summer EPCOT Guide

The EPCOT guide’s informational pages include the “Tips for Adults” section. There’s a QR code leading to Disney DuckTales World Showcase Adventure. On the opposite page is a list of character meet-and-greets. The “Staying Up Late?” section advertises “Luminous: The Symphony of Us.”
