Level99 at Disney World Announces Opening Date, Ticket Sales Start & Prices, Food Highlights & Hours

The wait is almost over! Level99 at Walt Disney World, will open in June 2026, with ticket sales starting soon. Here are dates & details about pricing, operating hours, and menu highlights at the new interactive experience in the defunct DisneyQuest venue at Disney Springs, along with our commentary about why this could be a great fit.
Amid the energy and artistic atmosphere of the 46,800-square-foot venue, Players can dodge axes, crack puzzles and outsmart real-world challenges in more than 60 physical and mental life-sized mini-games– the most of any Level99 venue to date. The themed mini-games will be dispersed throughout the first and second floors, with a two-story bar as the centerpiece of the venue.
Level99 will officially open on Monday, June 29, 2026 on the Disney Springs West Side! Tickets sales for the Walt Disney World location will launch on Monday, June 22, 2026 on Level99.com. More details about ticket prices, featured social games and food can be found below…
Featuring three ways to play–cooperative Challenge Rooms, competitive Player-vs-Player Duels and an interactive art scavenger hunt–Level99 is a sprawling playground designed for adults and teens that promises to provide an exciting new entertainment option at Disney Springs.
Beyond the games, Level99 players can fuel up with a full selection of scratch food and beverage options offering imaginative flavors focused on making the familiar fantastic using uncompromising commitment to culinary excellence.
Menu items will include Level99’s award-winning Detroit-style pizza, wagyu burgers and other craveable bites as well as handcrafted cocktails and local beer selections on tap. Players can order via a first-floor kitchen window, at the bar or pick-up beverages on satellite bar carts stationed on the second floor.
At check-in, guests will receive a RFID-powered “Veloband,” which unlocks access to the Challenges. Players can enjoy all games in the venue for the price of admission, and attempt each game as many times as desired and in any order they like, by tapping their Veloband on an entry screen.
Games are active, social and re-playable, each lasting about 1-4 minutes and designed for 2-6 Players. And the game continues beyond one visit: Level99 saves Players’ progress, allowing them to pick up where they left off when they return to any of Level99’s locations for their next visit, providing them with the opportunity to climb the leaderboard and earn rewards.
The Disney Springs venue will offer the most games of any Level99 location to date with 63 total mini-games and challenges, as well as the company’s biggest art installations amongst its more than 40 original pieces of art.
“We’re thrilled to bring Level99 to Walt Disney World Resort and share it with the millions of visitors who come to Orlando each year,” said Level99 Founder and CEO Matt DuPlessie. “As a company founded on innovation and groundbreaking themed entertainment, it is a natural fit to now be at a place built on those very same ideals. We can’t wait to welcome our first Players.”
“We know our guests love the variety of experiences here at Disney Springs and Level99 is a perfect addition to make even more fun memories with friends and family,” said Debbie Hart, Vice President, Disney Springs. “We have over 150 ways to shop, dine and play and Level99 is adding to the experience in a big way.”
Level99 offers Players completely unique challenges unlike anywhere else, as all its games are created, developed and designed by Level99 at its own production facility in Massachusetts. The team continually designs new games that are rotated into the various Level99 venues.
A variety of different skills sets and abilities are required across the numerous games, from strength to dexterity to balance to mental aptitude, ensuring there is something for every type of Player. The variety also provides numerous accessible options for Players with mobility limitations, and each game’s entry screen provides skill and accessibility information.
Level99 Signature Games
When it opens on June 29, 2026, signature Level99 games at the Disney Springs location will include:
- Axe Run, where Players race across a narrow beam while dodging swinging axes, aiming to hit the finish button as quickly as possible without stepping off course – an adrenaline-pumping test of speed, focus, and agility.
- Ninja Swing, where Players test their strength and precision by using ropes to navigate across a series of platforms, each one trickier than the last, earning Stars based on how far the group advances without falling.
- Mansion Banquet, where Players step into the role of dinner party planner, racing to solve quirky logic puzzles and perfectly match finicky guests with their ideal seat, entrée and drink before mealtime.
Level99 Food Features
Signature Level99 menu items at the Disney Springs location will include:
- Loaded Elote Guacamole served with charred corn, queso fresco, lime crema, Tajín, cilantro and tortillas.
- Roni, Roni, Roni, a signature Detroit-style pizza made with 24-hour cold fermented dough and baked in a steel pan to get a crispy cheese frico, and topped with Ezzo cupping pepperoni, housemade red sauce, pecorino romano, Calabrian chili and fresh basil.
- House Burger, 100% domestic wagyu, sharp white cheddar, caramelized onion, brown butter aioli and brioche.
Level99 Ticket Prices
Tickets to Level99 start at $29.99 per Player, providing intervals of 1.5 and 2.5 hours of play.
A premium pass add-on will be available, offering expedited check-in and special gifts. To recognize inaugural visitors, the first 500 Players on opening day at Level99 at Disney Springs will receive a commemorative pin upon entry.
For reference, here’s the pricing at other Level99 locations:
Given that the starting price is consistent with the other Level99 locations (albeit for 1.5 hours as opposed to 2 hours), we’d expect the other pricing at Disney Springs to likewise mirror the other Level99 venues.
Maybe I’m just numb to Walt Disney World pricing, but this doesn’t seem unreasonable to me. I also wouldn’t be surprised if there are eventually discount tickets for before 6 pm on weekdays, bundle deals with other entertainment or dining at Disney Springs, and affordable AP add-ons.
It really all depends on how busy Level99 is. We fully expect it to be popular on evenings and weekends, but earlier on weekdays could be a completely different story.
Level99 Hours
Level99’s operating hours will be:
- Monday – Thursday: 11 am to 10 pm
- Friday: 11 am to 11 pm
- Saturday: 10 am to 11 pm
- Sunday: 10 am to 10 pm
These seem like pretty standard and reasonable hours. I’m pleased to see the 11 pm closing time, and hope that sticks around into the off-season. That would make Level99 the perfect option after a DAK day when the park closes at 6 pm or 7 pm!
Level99 Background
This isn’t Level99’s first rodeo taking over defunct spaces like the former NBA Experience/DisneyQuest venue.
In Providence, the company worked with dozens of regional Rhode Island artists to transform an empty JC Penny into the open world of entertainment and discovery you can step into today. This bodes well for the repurposing of the NBA Experience building.
Level99 has established a footprint in New England where it has experienced industry-leading guest traffic fueled by players driving on average over half an hour to visit. A typical experience at Level99 includes at least 2-3 hours of entertainment play, followed by drinks and food at its scratch kitchen and bar, with some players staying all day.
I’m bullish on Level99 and think it’s exactly the type of cost-effective and crowd-pleasing fix this space could use.
I’m impressed with what I’ve read thus far about Level99 and its CEO Matt DuPlessie, which includes this MIT Alumni interview detailing some of his experiences with Disney and desire to work in the themed design and entertainment spaces.
I’m also impressed that Level99 is relatively reasonably priced, with tickets costing as little as $29.99 for 2-hour blocks and $49.99 for all-day experiences. It should go without saying that pricing will be higher at Walt Disney World, but hopefully the value proposition is still workable for families. And it very well might benefit from scale and increased foot traffic, which could keep ticket prices down on higher volume.
Our Commentary
Level99 looks flat out fun, interesting and engaging. While I love the idea of something like a Meow Wolf or TeamLab, this strikes me as meatier and more substantive, where there’s more of an esoteric quality to those.
That’s just my gut-level reaction to Level99. I’ve never visited it and am going solely off their own description and (overwhelmingly positive) reviews. But this sounds to me like something pitch-perfect for Walt Disney World’s guest demographics.
Obviously, I would prefer something purpose-built by Disney for this location. However, I’m also a realist. This venue probably isn’t the best use of their time or talents, and Imagineering cannot deliver anything efficiently. Every project is expensive, and here that would translate to higher ticket prices to recoup costs.
This has been an ongoing and recurrent problem, and is probably one of the big reasons why DisneyQuest was never updated and ultimately failed. For something like this, it’s key to keep startup costs and operating expenses down so that ticket prices can follow suit. Otherwise, it’s doomed to fail before it ever opens. (See also, Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser.)
NBA Experience had its own problems, being a synergy move as part of Disney’s bigger picture relationship with the NBA. During the brief period it was open, NBA Experience struggled to draw guests and offered aggressive Cast Member deals and free admission.
The closure of NBA Experience was inevitable. Tickets were too expensive, the concept was too niche, and didn’t appeal to enough of Walt Disney World’s core demographics. A cost-effective and crowd-pleasing tenant for this large venue. My hope is that Level99 fits the bill on that front, and has both the capability to build something in this space that’s not prohibitively expensive and is reasonably appealing to a sufficient number of fans.
My hope is that Level99 starts out small, cloning the winning formula from its other locations at Walt Disney World. A company that prides itself in creative ambition and transforming dead JCPenny stores sounds like a winning combo to me for this cursed space.
Hit the ground running and have that function as proof-of-concept and a foundation for the experience to level up over time. There’s so much potential for growth, and Level99 to get bigger and better over time. Concepts like the Void VR: Star Wars Secrets of the Empire come to mind or, for that matter, some of the tech and gameplay from the shuttered Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser.
We now know that Imagineering does have such projects in the pipeline, as prolific patenter Lanny Smoot created the HoloTile floor. For those who are unfamiliar with it, HoloTile is the world’s first and only multi-person, omni-directional, modular, expandable, treadmill floor. If Level99 proves successful, perhaps there’s an opportunity for future investment in this location leveraging some of that technology.
Suffice to say, I’m optimistic about the possibilities presented by Level99 going into the former DisneyQuest space, and offering a spiritual successor to that gamified experience. As a native Michigander, I also love Detroit-style pizza and find that there are no good places to get it at (or even near) Walt Disney World. That alone is enough to sell me on this concept! We’ll have a full Level99 review and guide soon, so stay tuned!

Have we completely forgotten about DisneyQuest? Very popular at the onset — lots of attendance, lots of people having fun. Popular enough that Disney opened standalone DQs at various locations. Then the novelty wore off. attendance sagged. Maintenance was reduced, and that was the kiss of death!
This place sounds intriguing, but quite frankly a Disney vacation is already so expensive I can’t imagine spending the big bucks to get there and not spend all my time at the theme parks. And so they are targeting whom? The locals? If it is even remotely popular you’ll see competitors springing up nearby available for a lot less hassle and expense.
The unique issues DisneyQuest and NBA Experience faced are addressed in the commentary.
When we were locals, we absolutely would’ve bought a pass to Level99 (and we still might!). Disney Springs was essentially our local mall, and we’d much rather go here for a night out than other nearby malls. It was a similar story for our friends, which is a big reason why Disney Springs is so busy in the first place.
Sounds fun- however my youngest is 11 , would stink if there is a minimum age requirement
