Read on for what Disney has said about the new playground, what's already open at Hollywood Studios, and where kids can play in every Walt Disney World park and hotel.
When Does The Epic Jr. Stunt Spectacular! Playground Open?
Disney hasn't given a date. The only timing it has shared is that the playground is "expected to open in the coming months", with no month or season attached.
What Is The New Indiana Jones Playground At Hollywood Studios?
Epic Jr. Stunt Spectacular! is an outdoor play area themed to the Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular!, the live stunt show that has been part of the Echo Lake area of Disney's Hollywood Studios since 1989. Disney says it'll have interactive elements and themed play structures inspired by the show, giving kids the chance to play at being explorers while their parents get a sit down.
Hollywood Studios hasn't had an outdoor playground since Honey, I Shrunk the Kids: Movie Set Adventure closed on 2nd April 2016 to make way for Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge, so anyone who visited with young children in the last decade will know there wasn't much on offer for them between rides.
Where Else Can Kids Play At Hollywood Studios?
Drawn to Wonderland is open now inside The Magic of Disney Animation, the new pavilion in the reworked courtyard area of the park. It's an indoor playground based on Mary Blair's original concept art for Alice in Wonderland, with an interactive Mad Hatter tea party table and a Queen of Hearts rose garden. There's also a separate area for the youngest children, plus seating for parents nearby.
We covered everything inside the pavilion when Disney confirmed its opening date, so read our Magic of Disney Animation guide for the full rundown.
Once Epic Jr. Stunt Spectacular! opens, Hollywood Studios will have one playground indoors and one outdoors.

Regarding Disney's Animal Kingdom, it has no current playground. A themed play area is planned for Pueblo Esperanza in the upcoming Tropical Americas land, but Disney has said opening timeframes will be shared later.
Disney hotels are worth a look too, particularly if you're planning a rest day by the pool. Disney lists playgrounds at 16 of its Walt Disney World hotels, designed for kids aged 2 to 12. Two have their own theming, with Righteous Reef in the Finding Nemo courtyard at Art of Animation and an archaeology-themed playground near the Dig Site recreation area at Coronado Springs. Pop Century and the three All-Star resorts also have playgrounds, which helps if you're booking a value hotel to keep the overall cost down.
You can book a Disney hotel with flights through Disney Holidays, or through Virgin Holidays, who fly into Orlando International Airport. If you'd rather book the flights yourself, Virgin Atlantic flies from the UK to Orlando International too.
