Cape up, power up, and prepare for a supercharged summer! Starting May 23, Gaylord Palms Resort in Kissimmee is transforming into a full-blown heroic headquarters with the launch of “DC Summer” — a first-of-its-kind collaboration between Gaylord Hotels and Warner Bros. Discovery Global Themed Entertainment. Through September 1, guests of all ages can leap headfirst into the pages of a comic book and live out their DC dreams alongside Batman, Wonder Woman, Superman, and a few iconic villains who always seem to crash the party.

Live the Legend

Step into the DC Super Hero Academy, where you won’t just hear legendary tales — you’ll become part of them. Join interactive missions, sharpen your heroic instincts, and watch for unexpected appearances by the very heroes you idolize.

Dine in the Hall of Justice

Breakfast gets a bold upgrade in the Hall of Justice Character Dining, where you’ll share a meal with Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman. Yes, it’s real. And yes, they’ll be making the rounds as you enjoy a menu packed with super flavor and surprise missions.

Craft Like a Caped Crusader

The DC Super Hero Craft Zone lets younger guests (and crafty adults!) design their own take-home mementos, from heroic shields to personalized emblems. It’s creativity with a cape on.

Outwit The Riddler

In the Revenge of The Riddler Scavenger Hunt, guests become Gotham’s finest detectives, solving riddles and unlocking secrets hidden throughout the resort. Think you’ve got what it takes to crack his code?

Splash, Soak, and Save the Day

Head to Cypress Springs Water Park for the DC Super Hero Splash, a high-energy bash with trivia, games, and special frozen drinks like the Amazonian Freeze and Metropolis Chill. And when the sun goes down, the splash zone becomes a cinema for DC Movie Night Poolside — grab a float and enjoy!

Meet the Heroes

Keep your camera ready — DC Super Heroes will be making surprise appearances throughout the resort. Whether you catch Superman near the atrium or spot Wonder Woman mid-stride, you’ll want that “super selfie.”

The Battle for Justice Light Show

As night falls, the Gaylord Palms atrium lights up for an epic sky-high showdown. The Battle for Justice unfolds through vibrant animations and a booming cinematic soundtrack in a spectacle that rivals the best superhero finales.

Guests booking Super Hero Room Packages get extra perks, including a DC Super Hero Supply Pack at check-in featuring a cape, autograph book, themed bag and more — everything you need to gear up for your mission.

And if you somehow tire of saving the world, Gaylord Palms still has you covered with its massive 4.5-acre atrium filled with waterfalls, wildlife, and tropical trails, plus the luxurious Relâche Spa, and endless aquatic fun across its seven water slides and surf simulator.

DC Summer at Gaylord Palms is more than a getaway — it’s a full-blown origin story waiting to happen.
