Casey Jr. Splash ‘N’ Soak Station is a colorful water-play area in Storybook Circus where children can run, splash, and cool down beneath sprays of water from circus animals and the familiar train inspired by Disney’s Dumbo. There are no ride vehicles, restraints, or carefully planned storylines here. Children simply enter the splash area and enjoy getting absolutely soaked while adults watch from a safer distance and reconsider whether they packed enough dry clothing.


Experience

The splash pad is centered around Casey Jr., the cheerful circus train from Dumbo. Water sprays from different areas of the train while playful animal figures, including elephants, monkeys, giraffes, and camels, send additional streams into the surrounding play space. Children can move freely between the water features and decide how wet they would like to become. Some areas offer lighter sprays, while others can drench anyone standing nearby. The attraction has no scheduled beginning or ending, so families can stay for a quick cool-down or allow children to play for a longer period. Guests should expect participating children to become completely wet rather than slightly splashed.


Atmosphere

Storybook Circus gives the splash pad a bright and playful setting filled with oversized circus details, cheerful colors, and the sounds of nearby Fantasyland attractions. Casey

Jr. looks as though the train has pulled directly into the circus and decided to cool everyone down along the way. The area is usually filled with excited children running between water sprays while adults watch from the edges. It can feel wonderfully refreshing during a hot afternoon, although the combination of wet pavement, energetic children, and unpredictable water makes it a place where everyone should pay attention. The splash pad becomes especially popular during warm weather. On cooler days, it may feel much quieter, mostly because even determined children occasionally admit that being soaked in chilly air is not quite as magical. 😅
