Level Up Your Game

If you ever spent your afternoons dreaming of being inside a video game, Level99 is about to become your new favorite haunt. Opening its largest venue yet over at the West Side, this isn’t your average arcade. It’s a sprawling, 40,000-square-foot playground designed specifically for the big kids and teens, too!.

Imagine wandering through 63 different challenge rooms filled with massive art installations, where you’re dodging axes one minute and solving mind-bending puzzles the next. It’s got that high-energy, anything is possible vibe we love, tucked right next to the Cirque du Soleil theater. And honestly? The two-story bar serving up Detroit-style pizza and wagyu burgers sounds like the perfect place to brag about your high scores.

A Savory New Chapter

We’ve all waited in those legendary lines for a half-pound cookie, but the folks at Gideon’s Bakehouse are bringing us something entirely different this summer at The Landing. They’re introducing Six Ravens, a new spot inspired by the hearty, medieval coffyns of the past. These aren’t spooky, though they’re delicious, house-made yeast rolls stuffed with savory fillings, perfect for grabbing while you stroll. It feels a bit like a nod to old-world pilgrimages, only our pilgrimage” is just finding the best spot to eat smashed potatoes and sip on a local craft beer from Sideward Brewing. It’s that cozy, storytelling element that Disney does best, served warm in a hand pie.

Dance Like Nobody’s Watching

Is it even a Disney summer without a soundtrack? The AdventHealth Waterside Stage is dialing up the nostalgia with the DescenDANCE Party x Camp Rock Jam. On select nights, the air will be filled with hits from Descendants: Wicked Wonderland and Camp Rock 3. It’s the kind of high-energy bash that reminds you of those old Disney Channel premiere parties, pure, infectious fun that gets the whole family moving. Whether you’re a Wicked fan or you’re still holding out hope for a Final Jam, it’s the heart and soul of the summer celebration.

Always Something New

The best part about Disney Springs has always been that blink and you’ll miss it sense of discovery. Beyond the big openings, the promenades are buzzing with little surprises. You might stumble upon the CrazyShake pop-up for one last over-the-top treat or find a brand-new storefront you didn’t see last month. It’s that ever-changing landscape that keeps us coming back, season after season. So, pack your sunscreen and your sense of adventure, it’s going to be a summer to remember at Walt Disney World.
