While the park does not officially open until May 22nd, 2025, park previews have been taking place, and we were finally able to check out the park for ourselves! Universal describes Epic Universe as their “most ambitious theme park yet” with 50 new attractions, new gift shops, new shows, and, of course, new restaurants! We happen to know a thing or two about food (it’s literally in our name!), and we were blown away by one of the snacks we got to try. Of course, we are going to tell you all about it!

REVIEW and PHOTOS: Is This What We Can Expect When LEVEL99 Comes to Disney World?

By Jessica Wedinger Leave a Comment

We finally know what is going on with the abandoned NBA Experience building in Disney Springs!

Future home of LEVEL99

In case you missed it, the former home of both DisneyQuest and the NBA Experience will soon be home to a new tenant, LEVEL99! Previously, a permit was filed for demolition of the building, but we are so happy to hear something new will be taking up residence. LEVEL99 is an interactive, social entertainment experience known for its challenge rooms, and the location at Disney Springs will be its fifth location and first in Florida.

We are so excited about this new addition that we went to another LEVEL99 location to try some of their menu items before their opening at Disney World!
