On June 3, Walt Disney World Resort guests reported that a Cool Kids Coloring Corner had been added to the Critter Co-Op gift shop near Tiana’s Bayou Adventure at Magic Kingdom Park. The offering is part of Cool KIDS’ SUMMER at Walt Disney World Resort and, despite the name, is open to guests of all ages.

The offering, located near the check-out corner, includes two picnic tables outfitted with crayons and various Disney-themed coloring sheets. Guests can still browse and purchase merchandise in the Tiana’s Bayou Adventure gift shop.
