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 Uncrustables such 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.

The playground features various interactive elements that children can explore.

A brown pole stands on artificial grass, flanked by two rock clusters with embedded shells. Playground equipment is partially visible in the background.

Play area with artificial grass, a wooden climbing structure shaped like an abstract tree, benches, string lights, and potted plants along the perimeter.

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 back 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.

Playalong Bay Playground is Disney’s first-ever resort hotel-themed playground for the EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival, which debuted in 2025. You can view the festival menus for the two corresponding outdoor kitchens, Yacht Grub and Beach Grub and other kitchens.

The 2026 EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival will run from March 4 through June 1. Are you happy to see this playground return? Let us know on social media!
