We’re so excited to announce new fun, shops, bites, and ways to play. From an immersive gaming world to a savory new dining spot, there’s so much to look forward to as we count down to Cool KIDS’ SUMMER at Disney Springs! Level99 Brings Next-Level Play to Disney Springs Gamers and thrill‑seekers, this one’s for you! The highly anticipated Level99 is set to open its doors this summer at Disney Springs West Side. I like to think of this new offering as a sprawling playground for adults and teens, ready for those who will take on 60+ life‑sized mini‑games and real-world challenges. Level99 tests your body and your mind as you dodge axes, crack mind‑bending puzzles, and outsmart cleverly designed challenges — all wrapped inside an environment filled with bold art installations. The Disney Springs location will be Level99’s fourth and largest venue to date, featuring more than 40 original works of art alongside 63 Challenge Rooms and Player-vs-Player Duels. Take a break between the fun at Level99’s two‑story bar where guests will find award‑winning Detroit‑style pizza, wagyu burgers, craveable snacks, and handcrafted cocktails — all made from scratch daily as well as rotating beers on tap. Level99 will be located right next to the Drawn to Life presented by Cirque du Soleil theater and across from House of Blues Restaurant & Bar. Introducing Six Ravens: A New Savory Story at Disney Springs Also new at Disney Springs at The Landing this summer, a little raven shared some exciting details about new flavors to feast on. Gideon’s Bakehouse, the fan‑favorite local bakery at Disney Springs, is introducing a new concept: Six Ravens. Specializing in grab-and-go hand pies, their signature creation, known as Coffyns, is a house‑made yeast‑roll stuffed with savory fillings that draw inspiration from Medieval European pastry cases. The original “coffyns” were designed to preserve hearty meals for long pilgrimages, and at Disney Springs, they’ll be the perfect on-the-go offering. Pair the Coffyns with smashed potatoes and dips like sweet heat and homemade honey mustard. Six Ravens will also have local beers crafted in partnership with Orlando favorites like Sideward Brewing and The Ravenous Pig. DescenDANCE Party x Camp Rock Jam On select nights this summer at Disney Springs, the AdventHealth Waterside Stage will come alive with high‑energy dance parties celebrating the newest original movies coming to Disney+. We’re jamming all night to hits from Descendants: Wicked Wonderland and Camp Rock 3. It’s the perfect way for families looking to add a little extra magic to their evening during Cool KIDS’ SUMMER.

COTALand has now introduced it's Mascots:   Introducing our first COTALAND Friend... Meet Buck! As country as cornbread and American as apple pie, he’s always ready to lend a hand, guide young buckaroos and remind folks that the best fun comes from playing fair and looking out for one another.     Presenting our next COTALAND Friend, Fang! Austin’s friendliest free-tailed bat and COTALAND’s fearless little daredevil. At just 8 years old, Fang is curious, bold and always ready to push the limits. He loves making friends, chasing adventures and testing boundaries…even if it leads to a little mischief along the way. With a big smile and an even bigger heart, Fang is as unstoppable as a racecar on the COTA track.     Meet Turbo, COTALAND’s lovable little turtle with a need for speed and a heart full of big ideas. At just 8 years old, he dreams of racing in the big leagues along side some of his F1 heroes...until he remembers...he’s a turtle, and turtles aren’t exactly known for speed. That’s when his imagination kicks into overdrive and he proves even the smallest racers can achieve their biggest dreams. Meet Checkers, COTALAND’s spunky little skunk with bold black-and-white flair and a heart full of courage. Sporting her signature aviator goggles and checkered jumpsuit, she’s always ready to take on whatever comes her way.

I made my first visit of the 2026 season at the park today! Below are a few photos of Flight Deck being transformed into The DareDeviler. During today's visit, I even got to see one of the new trains cycle on the track! I am really liking the colours chosen as the coaster will now fit in with the Grande World Expo section! I cannot wait to see the final results and look forward to riding it when it reopens! 😃
