KISSIMMEE, Fla. – For families looking for a hero-filled getaway this summer, look no further than Gaylord Palms Resort.
Super Hero Summer featuring DC is returning May 22 through Sept. 7, in partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Experiences (WBDGE).
The event features a lineup of immersive, character-driven experiences built around some of DC’s most iconic heroes — Wonder Woman, Superman, and Batman — alongside other fan-favorite characters.
Live shows, splash zones, dining with heroes
The festivities kick off with the DC Super Hero Academy, a complimentary live show for overnight guests where attendees don’t just watch the action — they become part of it. Guests solve puzzles, test their heroic instincts, and may even get a surprise visit from a DC Super Hero.
At the Cypress Springs Water Park, overnight guests can cool off at the DC Super Hero Splash Bash, complete with superhero games, DC trivia, and a live DJ. On select evenings, the water park’s giant video screen transforms for DC Movie Night Poolside, where guests can catch DC films from the main feature pool or poolside seating.
One of the event’s most popular offerings, Hall of Justice Character Dining, invites guests to share a breakfast buffet with Wonder Woman, Batman, and Superman.
Organizers describe it as “more than a meal — it’s a mission.”
Crafts, scavenger hunts, light shows
Young guests can channel their creativity at the DC Super Hero Craft Zone, where they can create a take-home souvenir in what the resort calls a “secret hideaway.”
Fans of a good mystery will enjoy the Revenge of The Riddler Scavenger Hunt, a puzzle-filled adventure that sends guests through Gaylord Palms’ atrium using clues from a secret booklet to outsmart The Riddler.
Each night closes with a spectacle: the Battle for Justice Light Show, an animated LED display suspended from the atrium ceiling pitting DC’s greatest heroes against its most notorious villains, set to a cinematic musical score.
Throughout the event, DC Super Heroes will also make surprise appearances for photos and “super selfies” with guests.
Packages, amenities round out summer stay
For those looking to bundle the experience, the Legends in the Making Package is available for stays May 22 through Sept. 6. The package includes nightly resort credit, a superhero cape, and the Revenge of the Riddler Scavenger Hunt.
