This summer is set to be BIG in Disney World, for a number of different reasons!
Disney Springs!
Disney World usually has SO much going on, but this year? That’s been taken to a whole new level. We’re talking new attractions, experiences, rides, and so much more. Sometimes, it feels a little hard to keep up with it all. If you’re heading to Disney World this summer and need a bit of help keeping track of everything, we’re here to help break it down. In Disney Springs ALONE, these are the six things you can expect to see change this summer!
Dance Party!
Over at Disney Springs Marketplace on select nights, kiddos will love getting to take part in the new Dance Party on its way!
Disney Springs
It’ll feature songs from Descendants: Wicked Wonderland and Camp Rock 3 to celebrate the upcoming releases of both films on Disney+. As this is part of the Cool KIDS’ SUMMER event, we can guess that this will begin sometime around May 26th and end around September 8th.
Flavors of Florida and Orlando’s Magical Dining
While there are new monthly additions to Disney Springs restaurant menus each and every month, summer will be extra special thanks to the Flavors of Florida event!
Flavors of Florida
Dates aren’t totally set in stone for this event, but you can bet we’ll be keeping a close eye on the latest information to pass it right on to you. If you’re someone who loves Disney dining and exploring new eats, trust us when we say that this event is not one to miss! In a similar vein, Orlando’s Magical Dining usually comes back in August, and while dates haven’t been announced for this event this year either, we’re also keeping our eyes out.
LEVEL99
We DO know that LEVEL99 is set to open in Disney Springs sometime this summer, though no official date or season has been set.
Future location of LEVEL99
LEVEL99 is a “real-world, challenge-based, social entertainment” that features both physical and mental challenges for adults. It’s fun, fast-paced, slightly intense, and we think it’ll be a HUGE hit in Disney Springs. It’s basically a giant, futuristic arcade and entertainment center with over 60 challenge rooms and duels — what more can we ask for?
News to Watch Out For!
That’s all confirmed for summer 2026 so far. However, there are a few new projects in the works at Disney Springs…but we’re still waiting on exact timelines for them!
Six Ravens
While we don’t have an exact opening timeline for it just yet, we’re really hoping to see Six Ravens open up in Disney Springs sometime this summer!

This new shop is brought to us by the same creators of Gideon’s Bakehouse, but this spot will focus on hand pies called Coffyns. These will be homemade yeast rolls, complete with fillings created in partnership with other Central Florida chefs. While Gideon’s Bakehouse is all about the sweets, this spot will be savory-focused and will only be a few doors down from the iconic cookie and cake shop.
Vans Store
In a similar vein, we also know we’re getting a new Vans shop in Disney Springs sometime soon!
Vans is coming soon!
Again, this shop also doesn’t have an opening timeline, and since we only just saw the signs indicating what is on the way back in March, it’s entirely possible it won’t be open in time for summer. You can bet we’re crossing our fingers, though!

Can’t wait for Flavors of Florida. Ditto Six Ravens…hope they have Scottish meat pies. Dreading Level 99. I think it will create way too much chaos and too many unruly people. Not happy about this new bus rule. We’re local passholders and sometimes stay at a resort but often just want to shop and eat for the day not only at Disney Springs but at resorts. Very unhappy not to be able to park at resorts when we’re spending money just like overnight guests plus we spend a lot on annual passes! I miss a lot of the stores and places that have left Disney Springs though some new ones are nice. Wish they hadn’t changed Trends and definitely miss Adventurers Club!
