    Level99 Arrives: Get Ready to Play Hard!

    Gamers and thrill-seekers, listen up! Level99, a highly anticipated interactive gaming world, throws open its doors on June 29 at Disney Springs West Side. And trust me, you’ll want to be there!

    Imagine a giant playground for teens and adults, packed with over 60 life-sized mini-games and real-world challenges. This place isn’t just about pushing buttons; it tests your body and mind. You’ll dodge “axes”, solve tricky puzzles, and outsmart clever challenges, all surrounded by vibrant, unique art.

    This isn’t just any Level99; it’s their fourth and biggest venue yet! Located right next to the Drawn to Life presented by Cirque du Soleil theater (and across from House of Blues Restaurant & Bar), it boasts more than 40 original art pieces, 63 Challenge Rooms, and Player-vs-Player Duels. Tickets go on sale June 22 – set your alarms!

    Need a refuel? Level99 also features a two-story bar. Grab handcrafted cocktails, some seriously good Detroit-style pizza, wagyu burgers, or delicious scratch-made snacks. Plus, they’ll have rotating beers on tap. Sounds like the perfect break from all that intense fun, right?

    Six Ravens Coffyns Disney Springs

    Their specialty? Grab-and-go hand pies called “Coffyns.” These aren’t just any pastries; they’re house-made yeast rolls packed with savory fillings, inspired by old Medieval European pastry cases. Think of them as the perfect meal for adventurers on the go, just like their historical counterparts.

    You can even pair your Coffyns with smashed potatoes and awesome dips like sweet heat or homemade honey mustard. And for the adults, Six Ravens will serve local beers, brewed in collaboration with popular Orlando spots like Sideward Brewing and The Ravenous Pig. Delicious!

Think fruity syrups and fun toppings like strawberry popping boba and fresh pineapple. It’s the ultimate refreshing treat for summer!

    Michelin Stars and Chocolate Dreams!

    While we’re talking about Morimoto Asia, did you know both it AND The Polite Pig made it into the MICHELIN Guide? That’s right, two award-winning spots at Disney Springs! Even more reason to add them to your must-try list this summer.

    Now for some *really* sweet news: Ghirardelli Soda Fountain & Chocolate Shop at Disney Springs is getting a magical glow-up! The Marketplace location will close for a big renovation in 2027, adding more indoor seating, a fresh new look, and some fun surprises. But don’t panic, chocolate lovers! Ghirardelli will open a temporary spot in Town Center later this summer, so you can still get your fill of those famous Hot Fudge Sundaes and other signature treats.

    Snack attack? Goofy’s Candy Company is launching a brand-new create-your-own popcorn experience! You pick your popcorn flavor – caramel, buttered, or the unique Disney Springs orange citrus – then add a chocolate drizzle, and finish it off with two or three candy mix-ins.
