What is Level99 at Disney Springs? It is a sprawling playground for adults and teens with 60+ life-sized mini-games, with three ways to enjoy yourself: cooperative Challenge Rooms, competitive Player-vs-Player Duels, and an interactive art scavenger hunt. Each mini-game will let you know if it consists of a physical or mental challenge, so you can decide if you are ready for it or not.
Level99 is located on the West Side of Disney Springs, next to City Works in the old NBA experience. I would have said the old Disney Quest, but that building was destroyed many years ago; it is generally in the same location. Level99 is open starting June 29, 2026 and the hours are 11:00 AM – 10:00 PM except Fridays 11:00 AM – 11:00 PM and Saturdays 10:00 AM – 10:00 PM.
Level99 Ribbon Cutting is now done, previews are in the books, and we were invited to join the fun, and we really did have fun. So, what can you expect? Is it worth $30 for 1.5 hours, or $40 for 2.5 hours (with an added 30 minutes to stop the clock and take a break)? That is what we are here to tell you about. So, what follows is our personal review, what we experienced, and finally, should you spend your money on the hyped up game room (and so much more) at Disney Springs?
Oh, and this is NOT your Dad’s Disney Quest! Get that out of your head; do not associate one with the other.
Before we get into everything, I want to add that the Cast Members working at Level99 made our afternoon fun, safe, and were able to walk us through the whole venue, explaining things we may have missed or not understood. Even when we accidentally injured our knuckles and bled out, the Cast who worked there had to shut down the game and clean it, helped us clean up, and made sure we were okay. Even if it was just a flesh wound we did to ourselves. Thank you!
Also of note: If any business or company comes down to Disney and wants to invite media plus influencers to an event and have them rave about something? Ply them with full-on bar, food, and a good time. This may have been the most fun media event we were ever a part of, and I would almost guarantee to a person that everyone else who was there would say the same thing. Why does this matter to you, the reader? Level99 treated this like it was opening day; the place was packed, and we got exactly what the paying guests would get, minus the free booze and food.
Okay, enough of the word salad, let’s get real! Is Level99 worth you and your family spending money on? What do you get for your money? Who is this experience for? Will you have fun with your family?
When you spend $30 for 1.5 hours, you actually get 2 hours. You can put your play on pause for 30 minutes, go grab a snack or drink, then sit down with the family and discuss the games you played, figure out what went wrong and right, and then go back and tackle your favorite game with a better plan. Go for the $40 plan, and you get 3 hours total, and you could probably get through 1/3 of the games easily, and yet not master a single one.
Level99 is worth your time, especially if you have any slight competitiveness in your family! Even if your family knows how to work together to solve things, they will enjoy this. Here at Fantasy Land News, we are a loving family who has each other’s backs, but when it comes to games, we have realized at many Escape Games, and on Smuggler’s Run, that we will NOT survive the apocalypse together! One of us is being sacrificed to the zombie horde to save our own skin (our kids are all 19 and older!) So, playing Co-op games becomes the most fun we have had as a family, we laugh until it hurts, and this is what happened at Level99. We laughed, we yelled, we bonded, and one of us should have stopped acting like he was still 21, even though he is 50!
Speaking of ages and who this is for? Look, let us be very honest with you, if grandma is 70 and doesn’t move very well, she may not have the best dexterity to do a lot of the games or challenges, but if she enjoys a good MaiTai and watching the family have fun, she can sit at the bar or a table and see the younger ones having fun without paying a dime. On the opposite end of the age group, very young kids, like 5 and under, may be more of a hindrance than help. But kids of all ages will get something out of this. We think you may want to have some strength and agility to get the most out of the physical games, but those who may not be physical but quick of mind will thrive on the mental challenges. Importantly, there are absolutely rooms and games that those who may need a mobile device can enjoy!
Got a child or friend who is Neurodivergent, as we do? I fully believe this will be their next ‘Train’ fascination! (That may be a joke only for those who have kids on the spectrum will understand.) What I am trying to say is, this is a great way for those who may be Neurodivergent to spend time. I am so looking forward to taking my son and watching him thrive in an environment that suits his needs, like Level99. Fair warning, though, they may need headphones when not inside the rooms themselves.
Which brings me to what really makes Level99 special. Replay value. Level99 isn’t a go once, and you’re done; this is one of those places where you will have the kids asking to go back again and again. One of the best parts is the replayable experience, with your account staying active, and you keep the same player name, which keeps a running tally of your scores. You are competing against others and your own past scores. The stars you earn today, will carry over to the next time you play! Think of it like trying to 100% Mario Galaxy, I want all the stars! You can’t get them all in one sitting, so you have to pick the game up from your save point.
After you’re done playing, you will get an email with all your updated stats and fastest times. Our end-of-day stats for 3 hours of play:
Twinky Bagel!
- 23 Stars
- 15 Games played
- 0- three-star rooms
- 16 Glyphs Found
- Fastest Axe Run Time 32.26s
I feel like they should also list your fastest failure; ours was Minesweeper. Yup, instantly touched bomb! Under 3 seconds.
We played a lot of the games as a four-player team, but you can have as few as Two Players, and up to Six Players. We also tackled the single player Axe Run, and multiple One -VS- One games. We found that trying to be a ninja on Ninja Swings and trying to go through a window without touching the sides was a bit physical for us. We still had fun trying to figure it out (Holly had one job! She was supposed to tell me not to act like I was 21 and not try these. She failed, but she failed wonderfully. She saw how much fun I was having and just wanted me to be a kid again, even if it was all in my head.) While trying to build a skyscraper was a ton of fun. Seeing our group slowly learn where each other’s strengths and weaknesses were was cool to witness in real time. My personal favorite was finding “Glyphs” in the art installations around Level99 (easy stars for those collecting).
Oh, food and drinks… I got carried away by the games. The drinks in pouches are fun, with two non-alcoholic versions for those who do not drink. Their PB&J beer is something else! We really enjoyed it. The Pizza is a selling point, the Roni Roni Roni promises 3 pepperonis per slice, and comes through, and the dough is great. Which reminds me, if you just want to sit at the bar, have a drink, and a bite to eat, you can do so as long as they are not at capacity.
Level99 is going to be a huge hit. If you feel like all you are hearing are positive reviews, there is a reason! It is that good, and that fun. Plus, they treated us very well, and let us just be ourselves, and wanted us to act like every guest who will visit. I can tell you now, we will be paying for our own way this week, and I can tell you now, our review would still be the same! Our only question is how long until they sell an annual pass? That was the question we heard most from those we talked to.
