(Kissimmee, FL) If you’ve ever dreamed of joining the Justice League or crossing paths with Gotham’s most infamous villains, your chance has finally arrived. Gaylord Palms Resort in Kissimmee, Florida, is teaming up with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Experiences to launch “DC Summer,” a first-of-its-kind experience that promises to bring the DC Universe to life like never before.
Running from May 23 to September 1, this supercharged collaboration will immerse guests in the world of iconic DC Super Heroes and Super-Villains with an action-packed lineup of live shows, interactive games, character dining, themed scavenger hunts, and more.
A Heroic Vacation Experience
At the heart of DC Summer is a collection of experiences designed for families, comic book fans, and adventurers of all ages. From the moment guests check in, they’ll be swept into a world of heroism and high-stakes fun. Those booking a Super Hero room package will be greeted with a DC Super Hero Supply Pack including a cape, autograph book, projector pen, sticker, and themed bag to kick off their heroic journey.
And that’s just the beginning.
Step Into The Action
The DC Super Hero Academy live show invites guests to hear legendary tales straight from the comic books — and then jump into the action themselves. Audience members will flex their super powers by solving puzzles, testing their heroic instincts, and even encountering surprise visits from DC’s greatest champions.
Dine With Wonder Woman, Batman, And Superman
One of the resort’s most anticipated offerings is the Hall of Justice Character Dining experience, where guests can enjoy a meal alongside Wonder Woman, Batman, and Superman. Described as “an unforgettable dining experience filled with heroic encounters, a diverse menu and lots of surprises,” this isn’t your typical character meal — it’s a mission with a side of dinner.
Creative Fun And Detective Work
Younger guests (and the young at heart) can head to the DC Super Hero Craft Zone, a secret hideaway where artful skills are put to the test creating take-home souvenirs. Meanwhile, aspiring detectives can put their puzzle-solving prowess to work in The Revenge of The Riddler Scavenger Hunt, deciphering mind-bending clues scattered throughout the resort.
Poolside Power-Ups And Movie Nights
Over at the Cypress Springs Water Park, the DC Summer festivities continue with DC Super Hero Splash — a high-energy event featuring superhero games, DC trivia, a live DJ, and specialty Super Hero-inspired beverages like the “Amazonian Freeze” and “Metropolis Chill” ICEE drinks to keep guests cool.
On select nights, the poolside video screen will transform for DC Movie Night Poolside, offering guests the chance to unwind with their favorite DC films while lounging in the water or poolside seating.
A Battle For Justice In The Sky
Each evening, the resort’s atrium comes alive with the Battle for Justice Light Show, a spectacular clash of good and evil unfolding above the atrium floor. Animated visuals projected on LED light curtains are paired with a cinematic musical score, making for a truly super end to the day.
More To Explore
Even beyond the DC Summer celebration, Gaylord Palms offers year-round amenities including a 4.5-acre indoor atrium with Florida wildlife, seven water slides, a surf simulator, and the relaxing Relâche Spa.
DC Summer at Gaylord Palms runs from May 23 to September 1, 2025. Event tickets and Super Hero room packages are available now at www.gaylordhotels.com/dcsummer.
