Leading the charge is Level99, the highly anticipated interactive gaming venue opening June 29 on the West Side. The massive two-story attraction will feature more than 60 challenge rooms, physical games, puzzle-solving experiences, and player-versus-player competitions, making it one of the largest entertainment additions Disney Springs has seen in years. Guests can also enjoy handcrafted cocktails, Detroit-style pizza, wagyu burgers, and other scratch-made menu items while taking a break from the action.

Foodies will also have several new options to explore. Gideon’s Bakehouse is preparing to debut its new sister concept, Six Ravens, which will specialize in savory hand pies known as Coffyns, inspired by historic European pastries. Meanwhile, Morimoto Asia is adding the new Kakigori Kool stand, serving refreshing Japanese shaved ice treats perfect for Florida’s summer heat. Snack lovers can also create their own custom popcorn mix at Goofy’s Candy Company, featuring buttered, caramel, and an exclusive orange citrus popcorn flavor paired with candy mix-ins and chocolate drizzles.

Shopping fans have reasons to celebrate as well. Vans is opening a new retail location at Disney Springs, while Oakley has already unveiled its newly refreshed store. Looking ahead, Disney also announced that Ghirardelli Soda Fountain & Chocolate Shop will undergo a major renovation beginning in 2027, bringing additional indoor seating and a refreshed layout while continuing operations from a temporary location.
