    Disney Springs is gearing up for an incredible summer! Get ready for a wave of new experiences, from immersive games to tasty treats and fresh shopping spots. It’s all happening, and we’re here to give you the inside scoop!

    You’ll find so much to dive into as we celebrate the season and beyond at Disney Springs.

    New Adventures Around Every Corner

    Level99 Disney Springs

    Level99: Get Ready to Play Hard!

    Calling all gamers and adventure lovers! Level99, a place we’ve been buzzing about, opens its doors on June 29 at Disney Springs West Side. And trust me, you’ll want to be there. Imagine a massive playground built just for adults and teens, packed with over 60 life-sized mini-games and real-world challenges.

    This isn’t your average arcade; you’ll dodge axes, solve intricate puzzles, and outsmart cleverly designed challenges. All this happens surrounded by amazing, colorful art installations. This isn’t just another Level99; it’s their fourth and largest location yet, right next to the Drawn to Life by Cirque du Soleil theater and across from House of Blues Restaurant & Bar. It boasts over 40 original artworks, 63 Challenge Rooms, and Player-vs-Player Duels. Mark your calendars: tickets go on sale June 22!

    Need a break from all the action? Level99 also features a two-story bar. Here, you can refuel with handcrafted cocktails, delicious Detroit-style pizza (they’ve won awards!), wagyu burgers, and other tasty snacks, all made fresh daily. Plus, expect a rotating selection of beers on tap.

    Six Ravens Disney Springs

    Six Ravens: Gideon’s Bakehouse Unleashes Savory Surprises!

    Hold on to your hats, because Gideon’s Bakehouse, our beloved local bakery, is launching something completely different this summer at The Landing! Get ready for Six Ravens, their exciting new concept.

    Six Ravens Coffyns Disney Springs

    They’re ditching the cookies (just kidding, not entirely!) for grab-and-go Coffyns – their signature hand pies. These aren’t just any pies; they’re house-made yeast rolls packed with savory fillings, inspired by medieval pastry cases. Imagine pairing these with smashed potatoes and incredible dips like sweet heat or homemade honey mustard. Historically, “coffyns” kept travelers fed on long journeys, and at Disney Springs, they’ll be your new favorite snack on the go.

    Oh, and they’ll even have local beers, brewed in collaboration with Orlando favorites like Sideward Brewing and The Ravenous Pig.

    Shop ‘Til You Drop: New Brands Arrive!

    Who doesn’t love a bit of retail therapy? Disney Springs welcomes several new shoe and apparel brands, making sure you look and feel great.

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

    And just in time for the sunny season, the Oakley store has reopened with a fresh new look. Swing by for their performance eyewear, clothing, and accessories, all in a revamped space that’ll keep you stylish.

    Kakigori Kool Disney Springs

    Need to beat the heat? Morimoto Asia introduces the Kakigori Kool cart right outside its doors. Picture this: Japan’s famous shaved ice dessert, piled high with fruity syrups and fun toppings like strawberry popping boba or fresh pineapple. It’s the perfect cool-down treat for those hot summer days!

    And speaking of Morimoto Asia, did you know both it and The Polite Pig earned a spot on the MICHELIN Guide? Just another fantastic reason to add these award-winning restaurants to your summer foodie list!

    More sweet news! The Ghirardelli Soda Fountain & Chocolate Shop in Marketplace is getting a ‘magical makeover’ – though we’ll have to wait until 2027 for the big reveal. Expect more indoor seating, a fresh layout, and some extra surprises. But chocolate lovers, don’t panic! You can still get your fill of their delicious Hot Fudge Sundaes and other treats at a temporary location in Town Center, opening later this summer.

    Snack fans, get ready for something special at Goofy’s Candy Company! Soon, you can create your own custom popcorn mix. Pick from caramel, classic buttered, or the unique Disney Springs orange citrus flavor, add a chocolate drizzle, then load it up with two or three candy mix-ins. It’s your perfect personalized snack, just in time for summer!
