Discover the Thrill of DC Summer at Gaylord Hotels

This summer, a groundbreaking collaboration is set to ignite excitement at Gaylord Hotels across the U.S. as they unveil the unique DC Summer experience in partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Experiences (WBDGE). From May to September 2025, families and fans of all ages will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the captivating universe of DC Super Heroes and Super-Villains through a series of themed attractions and events designed to create unforgettable memories.

The inspiration behind DC Summer arises from the desire to combine the rich narratives of iconic DC Comics characters with the immersive hospitality experiences that Gaylord Hotels are known for. Guests can look forward to more than a dozen thrilling DC-themed activations that could turn an ordinary summer getaway into an extraordinary adventure.

Johann Krieger, Vice President and Managing Director of Gaylord Hotels, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership: "We are thrilled to partner with Warner Bros.
