Level99 at Disney World Extending Hours Due to Strong Guest Demand!

Two weeks after it officially opened at Walt Disney World, the new Level99 interactive game experience is extending hours by popular demand due to the strong guest demand for the location. Here are details, current vs. future hours, and more.

The overwhelming popularity of Level99 continues the summer winning streak for Disney Springs, which also recently cracked down on its free parking loophole. With this change, Walt Disney World is limiting use of transportation from Disney Springs to the resort hotels to guests who have a valid reason to be there. (See Details for the Walt Disney World Bus & Boat Restrictions, On-Site Guest Resort Hopping Rules & Parking Policies for more.)

Prior to this, Walt Disney World implemented new rules for pin release crowd control, effectively banning overnight parking. There’s more happening at Disney Springs that’s unrelated to parking, including Ghirardelli Soda Fountain & Chocolate Shop’s original location closing for refurbishment, Six Ravens opening soon, new food trucks debuting, dance parties for Cool Kids’ Summer, and more.

The latest news is that due to “strong guest demand,” Level99 at Disney Springs will extend its evening operating hours beginning on Monday, July 13, 2026. Updated hours are below:

• Monday through Thursday: 11:00 AM – 11:00 PM
• Friday: 11:00 AM – 11:30 PM
• Saturday: 10:00 AM – 11:30 PM
• Sunday: 10:00 AM – 11:00 PM

For reference, current and previous hours are:

• Monday through Thursday: 11 am – 10 pm
• Friday: 11 am – 11 pm
• Saturday: 10 am – 11 pm
• Sunday: 10 am – 10 pm

This is great news from our perspective, especially since it makes Level99 even more of a viable option after an early park closing night. In fact, you could do an upcoming Extended “Evening” Hours at Animal Kingdom and still have time for the full 2.5 hour ticket at Level99 on a Wednesday night!

Level99 Ticket Options

One ticket for 1.5 hours is $29.99 most weekdays, $39.99 on Saturdays (plus holidays), and $35.99 on Friday nights and Sundays. A 2.5 hour ticket costs $10 more across the board for the same days. Ticket pricing is the same for adults and minors (more rules/recommendations about appropriate ages below).

Guests must pick a time slot for entry to Level99. Tickets are currently only available to purchase through September 16, 2026. At publish time, availability is wide open. Even with high demand, that’s unsurprising. This should be the type of experience that caters to walk-ups and guests doing Level99 on a whim when the weather is hot or they have time to kill.

With that said, we’d probably purchase tickets a day or two in advance if visiting Level99 between Fall Break and New Year’s. That stretch from mid-October through early January is the busiest of the year at Disney Springs, and it’s likely more people will plan in advance for Level99 then. But those tickets aren’t even available yet, so we’re getting ahead of ourselves!

Level99 Popularity

From the outset, it has been our expectation that Level99 would be popular, especially during peak travel seasons, nights, and weekends. The interactive gaming venue will undoubtedly be more popular than the failed NBA Experience. Level99’s track record as a specialist in reinvigorating dead malls with efficient concepts bodes well, and should set it up for greater success than even DisneyQuest, which occupied the space previously.

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. For that matter, so was the closure of DisneyQuest. Even though it had wider appeal, it was overly ambitious, and would’ve been too costly for Imagineering to update without ballooning ticket prices to an unreasonable level. (Think Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser, but on a much smaller scale.)

By contrast, Level99 is a cost-effective and crowd-pleasing tenant for this large venue. It appears to be in the goldilocks zone of cost and ambition. It’s not prohibitively expensive and is reasonably appealing to a larger pool of guests. That should be a winning combination.

Level99 Basics

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 offers 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.

Level99 Signature Games

Signature Level99 games at the Disney Springs location 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 Age Recommendations & Rules

Level99 is recommended for ages 11+, since younger kids may have trouble completing the games. To help keep Level99 safe and fun, there’s a minor policy for guests under 18.

• Children 10 and under: must be accompanied at all times by a paid adult (18+), that means an adult must play in the rooms with the child.
• Children 11-15: must have a responsible adult physically present inside the Level99 venue throughout the duration of their visit and reachable by phone, but they do not have to play. There are plenty of comfortable places to hang out inside of the venue.
• Teens 16-17: can play without an adult present, but they must have a pre-signed waiver by a parent or guardian ahead of play that can be filled out online.

Level99 reserves the right to refuse entry or remove guests to ensure the safety of all Players.

Level99 Food Features

Signature Level99 menu items at the Disney Springs location 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.
