LEVEL99 opens in Disney Springs tomorrow, June 29th, and we couldn’t be more stoked that the general public will get to experience this high-energy, epic new attraction so soon!

LEVEL99 opens SOON!

We got a chance to explore the attraction a few days ago before its official opening and made it our mission to try out as many of the 63 games as we possibly could (and we got close!). Now that we feel we have a good understanding of the attraction and what it offers, we’ve put together a list of the five things we wish we had known before stepping inside for the first time, so you know them ahead of your trip!

You Don’t Need A Ticket To Visit The Bar

We’ll be the first to admit that the food and drinks at LEVEL99 are pretty fantastic! Everything there is homemade, even the ingredients of their various drinks, which really comes out in the taste of it all (in the best way). If you’ve been taking a look at the menu and have a few items you’d like to try, but you’re not totally sold on the games just yet, you don’t need to buy a ticket to check out the dining options and the bar!

Loaded Elote Guacamole at LEVEL99

Yes, that means you’re able to walk in and let the staff know you’re just heading to the restaurant and bar, and there will be no issues (unless the attraction is at capacity; then it might depend). Why? Because in order to play any of the games, you need to tap into them with a wristband you get when you check in and they confirm your ticket, so there’s no way for someone who hasn’t paid for a ticket to get into one. It’s a great way to check out some of the delicious new offerings or grab a drink and check out the vibe of the place, without committing to a ticket just yet.

You Can Pause Your Time

Some of these challenges are HARD, and they’ll make you move in ways you haven’t in a LONG time (especially for the adults). Tickets for this experience range from 1.5 to 2.5 hours, and you may find yourself not wanting to waste any time, so you go from game to game to game. However, you CAN pause your time for up to 30 minutes, and it doesn’t count towards your overall ticket time.

Magician’s Sideshow

Yes, this means that if you’ve just finished an intense game and you need a second to take a rest and catch your breath, you can pause your time. You also don’t have to pause it all at once, so you can pause in five-minute intervals if you want, pause for 15 minutes at one time, and then use the other half at another, or maybe you want to use it all at once. Those options are all open for you, and trust us, you’ll want to use them.

Solo Travelers Aren’t The Target Audience

These games are meant to be played as teams, with 2-6 people depending on the game or duel, so that means that solo travelers are going to have a more difficult time here.

Crystal Vision Game

Sure, you can wander around and see if other groups will let you join them if you’re open to making friends, but many groups of friends may really just be counting on getting to do the games with just their group and may not be as open to having someone join them. In that case, the solo traveler would be decently out of luck and may not feel their ticket is worth it. 

There’s A MIX of Challenges

Some of the most popular challenges you’ve likely seen advertised from LEVEL99 are the physical challenges, like the ones where you’re jumping through a hole in a prison wall, climbing and swinging on ropes, or chucking dodgeballs everywhere, but the truth is that there are plenty of games that aren’t physical to enjoy!

Inside Wild Orchard

Not every game is wildly physical, as some of the games have you focus more on your mental skills or problem-solving capabilities. Yes, there are some games that have a combination of both, but if you’re concerned you won’t have a good time because all of the games require physical skill, that’s thankfully not the case. There are still plenty of games you can check out and enjoy.

We Loved It More Than We Thought We Would

We had a feeling we’d really enjoy LEVEL99, as it’s a super unique offering in Disney World (and this is only the fourth LEVEL99 location to exist overall, so it’s a newer concept as a whole), but we didn’t expect to become quite obsessed with it. So much so that we have MULTIPLE groups of family and friends we want to bring ASAP.

It’s fun, focused on being screen-free, and there are bound to be games that everyone will enjoy. While it’s mostly intended for teens and adults, younger kids will also enjoy some of the games and can participate in activities like the Art Hunt, so we can see this becoming a new staple for a lot of families and groups on their upcoming vacations. We certainly hope that’ll be the case — we love this so much, we want it to THRIVE!
