Disney Springs picks up a major new tenant today: Level99, the Massachusetts-based "Players Club" of timed challenge rooms, opens its fourth and biggest location on the West Side, in the old NBA Experience / DisneyQuest space. Monday, June 29, 2026 is opening day, and the first 500 Players through the door get a commemorative pin.

The headlines:

  • Opening: Monday, June 29, 2026.
  • Where: Disney Springs West Side, next to Drawn to Life by Cirque du Soleil, across from House of Blues. Replaces the former NBA Experience / DisneyQuest space.
  • Size: 46,800 square feet across two floors.
  • Games: 63 challenge rooms / mini-games (the most of any Level99 location).
  • Art: 40 plus original art installations.
  • Tracking: Player progress logged via RFID "Veloband" wristbands, transferable across all Level99 venues.
  • Food and drink: Two-story bar, handcrafted cocktails, local beers on tap, Detroit-style pizza, wagyu burgers.
  • Opening-day perk: First 500 Players through the door get a commemorative pin at entry.

How it actually works

The Level99 model is closer to escape rooms than to an arcade. Players get a Veloband wristband at check-in, then move through a venue of standalone challenge rooms each themed around a physical or mental task (laser mazes, axe games, ninja swings, balance puzzles, banquet-table riddles, and so on). Each room scores the attempt to the band, so a group can rotate through whichever rooms they want and compare scores at the end. Featured games at the Disney Springs venue per Disney: Axe Run, Ninja Swing, and Mansion Banquet.

This is the fourth Level99 location since the company launched in 2021, and at 46,800 square feet it is the biggest. Games are designed and built at Level99's production facility in Massachusetts.

Tickets and pricing

  • 1.5-hour ticket: starting at $29.99 per player.
  • 2.5-hour ticket: starting at $39.99 per player.
  • Premium Pass upgrade: +$19.99 per person.

Ticket sales opened on Level99.com on June 22.

What the people behind it said

Matt DuPlessie, Level99 Founder and CEO, in the Level99 press release: "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. 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."

Debbie Hart, Vice President, Disney Springs: "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. We have over 150 ways to shop, dine and play and Level99 is adding to the experience in a big way."

Operating hours

  • Monday to Thursday: 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.
  • Friday: 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.
  • Saturday: 10 a.m. to 11 p.m.
  • Sunday: 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.

Quick planner notes

  • If you want the opening-day pin, get to Disney Springs early on June 29. First 500 Players through the door.
  • The venue is on the Disney Springs West Side, the same end as House of Blues and Cirque du Soleil's Drawn to Life. Easiest parking is the Lime Garage.
  • The Veloband transfers across Level99 venues, so if you've played at the Natick, Providence, or Tysons locations, your profile carries over.
  • You do not need a Disney park ticket to visit Disney Springs or Level99. Parking is free.
