Get ready, because Disney Springs is about to explode with new energy this summer! We’re talking fresh experiences, fantastic shops, and delicious new spots to grab a bite. If you thought Disney Springs was already awesome, just wait until you see what’s coming!
Level99: Your New Adult Playground!
Calling all gamers and adventure lovers! Get ready because Level99, that highly anticipated interactive challenge venue, opens its doors on June 29th at Disney Springs West Side! And trust me, you’re going to want to check this out.
Imagine a giant playground built just for adults and teens. We’re talking over 60 life-sized mini-games and real-world challenges that will test your brain and your brawn. You’ll be dodging “axes,” solving tricky puzzles, and outsmarting cleverly designed rooms – all surrounded by incredible, colorful art.
This isn’t just any Level99; it’s their fourth and *largest* venue yet! You’ll find it right next to the Drawn to Life theater (presented by Cirque du Soleil) and across from the House of Blues. With over 40 original art pieces, 63 Challenge Rooms, and Player-vs-Player Duels, it sounds like an absolute blast. Make sure to grab your tickets starting June 22nd!
Need a breather after all that action? Level99 also boasts a fantastic two-story bar. Here, you can refuel with handcrafted cocktails, delicious Detroit-style pizza (yes, you read that right!), wagyu burgers, and other mouth-watering snacks, all made fresh daily. Plus, they’ll have a rotating selection of beers on tap. Sounds like the perfect combo for a fun night out!
Six Ravens: A New Savory Spot from Gideon’s Bakehouse!
Hold onto your hats, foodies! Gideon’s Bakehouse, our beloved local bakery, is bringing something completely new and savory to The Landing at Disney Springs this summer: it’s called Six Ravens.
They’re focusing on incredible grab-and-go hand pies, which they’ve playfully named Coffyns. These aren’t just any pastries; imagine a house-made yeast roll packed with delicious savory fillings, inspired by those hearty medieval European pastry cases. You can even pair them with smashed potatoes and dipping sauces like sweet heat or homemade honey mustard. Perfect for a quick, substantial bite while you explore!
And for those who enjoy a good brew, Six Ravens will also feature local beers! They’ve teamed up with popular Orlando spots like Sideward Brewing and The Ravenous Pig to create some unique craft selections. It sounds like a fantastic new addition to the Disney Springs culinary scene.
Shopping & Sweet Treats: More to Explore!
Disney Springs isn’t just about food and games – it’s a shopping paradise too! Get ready to refresh your wardrobe and footwear with some awesome new arrivals.
Vans is opening soon, bringing all their classic sneakers, skate shoes, and apparel. And if you’re looking for performance gear, the Oakley store has just reopened at Disney Springs with a fantastic new look, perfect for gearing up for those sunny Florida days.
When it’s time for a treat, you’re spoiled for choice! The Kakigori Kool cart, an exciting new offering from Morimoto Asia, is here just in time for summer. Located right outside the restaurant, they’re serving up Japan’s beloved shaved ice dessert. Think fruity syrups and fun toppings like strawberry popping boba or fresh pineapple – a super refreshing way to beat the heat!
Speaking of Morimoto Asia, did you know that both it and The Polite Pig are recognized in the MICHELIN Guide? That’s some serious culinary cred right there, giving you even more reasons to add them to your must-try list this summer.
And for my fellow chocolate addicts, big news for Ghirardelli Soda Fountain & Chocolate Shop! While their longtime Marketplace location will get a magical makeover starting in 2027 (expect more indoor seating and new surprises!), don’t worry – your fudge sundae fix is safe! They’ll open a temporary spot in Town Center later this summer to keep the sweet treats flowing.
Finally, popcorn lovers, rejoice! Goofy’s Candy Company is launching a brand-new “create-your-own popcorn” experience. You get to pick from caramel, buttered, or Disney Springs’ exclusive orange citrus flavor, add a chocolate drizzle, and then pile on two or three candy mix-ins. It’s a personalized snack dream come true!
Summer Fun and Special Experiences!
The fun doesn’t stop with just new venues and treats! Disney Springs is also bringing some fantastic special events and ways to cool down this summer.
