KISSIMMEE, Fla. — Capes, secret identities and super hero legends are landing at Gaylord Palms Resort as the resort and Warner Bros. Discovery Global Experiences (WBDGE) team up to bring Super Hero Summer featuring DC to guests May 22-Sept. 7. The second-annual event invites families to visit the worlds of iconic DC Super Heroes, with experiences designed for all ages.
Created through a Gaylord Hotels brand partnership with WBDGE, the event features immersive experiences inspired by DC's legendary stories and characters. Wonder Woman, Superman and Batman are the featured DC Super Heroes, alongside more DC fan-favorite characters, across paid and complimentary activities.
Here's a look at some of the fun guests can enjoy during Super Hero Summer featuring DC:
Live the Legend:
In the DC Super Hero Academy live show, guests hear legendary tales straight from the comic books. But this isn't just story time - it's a chance for guests to jump into the action and flex their super powers, solve puzzles, test heroic instincts and craft a personal adventure. But guests should keep a sharp lookout for any DC Super Heroes that might pop in to join the fun. The show is complimentary for overnight resort guests.
Super Soaked!:
In addition to the excitement of the 3-acre Cypress Springs Water Park, overnight guests can enjoy the DC Super Hero Splash Bash, featuring superhero games, DC trivia, a live DJ and plenty of splash-tastic fun to help beat the heat. On select evenings, the giant video screen at Cypress Springs Water Park transforms into a silver screen for DC Movie Night Poolside, where DC Super Hero films can be viewed from the main feature pool or poolside seating.
Heroic Hands at Work:
Young guests' creativity takes flight in DC Super Hero Craft Zone, a secret hideaway where guests can showcase their artful skills to create a treasured take-home souvenir.
Dine with Heroes:
Wonder Woman, Batman and Superman join guests for a character dining experience in the Hall of Justice Character Dining. An unforgettable meal filled with heroic encounters, a delectable breakfast buffet and lots of surprises, it's more than a meal - it's a mission!
Riddle Me This:
Guests embark on a puzzle-filled adventure in the Revenge of The Riddler Scavenger Hunt. Using clues in their secret booklet, guests use their greatest detective skills to solve The Riddler's mind-bending puzzles that are scattered throughout the Gaylord Palms Resort atrium.
An Epic ‘Glowdown':
A nighttime clash between good and evil between DC's greatest Super Heroes and Super-Villains unfolds in the atrium during the Battle for Justice Light Show. The animated LED light curtains suspended from the Gaylord Palms atrium ceiling will display colorfully animated visuals accompanied by a cinematic musical score to close out each heroic day.
Super Sightings:
Guests can snap a photo or "super selfie" with DC Super Heroes as they make surprise appearances around Gaylord Palms.
