Summer at Disney Springs? It’s about to get even better! Get ready for a ton of fresh experiences, shops, and delicious bites. We’re talking new ways to play, eat, and explore. Let me tell you all about what’s coming to make your summer visits unforgettable.

From an interactive gaming world to a savory new dining spot, there’s so much to look forward to as we celebrate summer and beyond at Disney Springs!

First up, gamers and adventure-seekers, listen closely! The highly anticipated Level99 throws open its doors on June 29. We’ve got the inside scoop on what to expect at Disney Springs West Side!

Imagine a massive playground for adults and teens, packed with over 60 life-sized mini-games and real-world challenges. This isn’t just about fun; it’s a full-body and mind workout! You’ll be dodging axes, solving tricky puzzles, and outsmarting clever challenges, all surrounded by vibrant, colorful art installations. This Disney Springs spot, located right next to the Drawn to Life theater by Cirque du Soleil and across from House of Blues, is actually Level99’s fourth and largest venue yet. It boasts more than 40 original artworks alongside 63 Challenge Rooms and Player-vs-Player Duels. Ready to dive in? Tickets go on sale starting June 22! And when you need a breather, Level99 has a fantastic two-story bar. Grab a handcrafted cocktail, some award-winning Detroit-style pizza, wagyu burgers, or other made-from-scratch snacks, plus a selection of rotating beers.

Next, for the foodies, a little birdy (or should I say, a little raven?) has whispered some exciting news! Gideon’s Bakehouse, a bakery we all adore at Disney Springs, is getting ready to launch its brand-new concept: Six Ravens.

This spot, opening in The Landing, specializes in grab-and-go hand pies. Their signature creation, called ‘Coffyns,’ are house-made yeast rolls filled with savory goodness, inspired by old Medieval European pastry cases. You can pair these delicious Coffyns with smashed potatoes and tasty dips like sweet heat or homemade honey mustard. Historically, these ‘coffyns’ kept meals fresh for long journeys, so they’re perfect for a quick, delicious bite on the go at Disney Springs. Six Ravens will also serve local beers, brewed in partnership with popular Orlando spots like Sideward Brewing and The Ravenous Pig.

Need some retail therapy? Disney Springs welcomes several new shoe and apparel brands, so you can look and feel your best!

Vans is opening its doors soon, bringing classic footwear, comfy sneakers, skate shoes, and apparel.

If you’re looking for performance gear, the Oakley store has already reopened with a fresh new look, just in time for summer. Stop by for their eyewear, apparel, and accessories, all redesigned to keep you stylish for those sunny Florida days.

Time for some treats! Outside Morimoto Asia, you’ll find the new Kakigori Kool cart. This is your go-to for Japan’s beloved shaved ice dessert, topped with fruity syrups and fun additions like strawberry popping boba and fresh pineapple. It’s exactly what you need to beat the summer heat!

Speaking of Morimoto Asia, both it and The Polite Pig have earned recognition in the MICHELIN Guide. Just another fantastic reason to add these award-winning restaurants to your summer must-do list.

And for all you chocolate fanatics, Ghirardelli Soda Fountain & Chocolate Shop in the Marketplace is getting a magical makeover! Expect more indoor seating, a refreshed layout, and a few extra surprises when it reopens in 2027. Don’t worry, though; you can still get your famous Hot Fudge Sundaes and other treats at their temporary spot in Town Center, opening later this summer.

Meanwhile, over at Goofy’s Candy Company, get ready to create your own custom popcorn mix! You choose from caramel, buttered, or Disney Springs’ exclusive orange citrus flavor, then add a chocolate drizzle and two or three candy mix-ins. It’s a personalized snack that’s perfect for summer.

Looking for some evening fun? On select nights this summer, the AdventHealth Waterside Stage will host high-energy dance parties. These parties celebrate the latest original movies coming to Disney+, with hits from Descendants: Wicked Wonderland and Camp Rock 3, plus other Disney Channel favorites. It’s a fantastic way for families to add extra magic to their evenings during Cool KIDS’ SUMMER.

For something more hands-on, join your family at Amorette’s Patisserie for Mickey and Minnie Cookie Art. They’ve got new beach-themed designs with edible watercolor paints, letting kids (and adults!) unleash their inner culinary artist while decorating these summer sweets.

Each kit includes:

• A Mickey Mouse cookie
• A Minnie Mouse cookie
• A painter’s palette cookie
• Paint brushes
• Water to activate the paints

It’s a delicious, creative experience, only at Amorette’s Patisserie!

And while you’re enjoying Cool KIDS’ SUMMER, don’t miss the Drawn to Life show by Cirque du Soleil and Disney. You can snag a child ticket for just $25 with the purchase of a full-price adult ticket. This offer is available for purchase now through September 6, for performances until September 20.

As you explore, you’ll find even more comfy spots to sit and relax on the West Side, with extra seating, tables, and outdoor umbrellas. It’s perfect for a quick break before your next adventure at Disney Springs!
