Things are ALWAYS changing in Disney World! Lately, it feels like the parks are entirely new places thanks to updates like Villains Land, Piston Peak, Monsters Inc. Land, and other major changes.

Welcome to La Poutinerie
Each week, it feels like Disney is constantly dropping new information, details, and more! That’s why we like to do a weekly wrap-up of the biggest news so you don’t miss a single thing. This week was pretty exciting for people who love new stuff in Disney World!
This week was an exciting one for Disney World fans! We got new entertainment, new snacks, and we might even get a new menu for a restaurant that sorely needs it. Here’s everything we loved this week.
Over in Disney Springs, LEVEL99 officially opened to the public! The new entertainment offering has over 60 games, a bar, and a restaurant for guests to indulge in.
LEVEL99 is here!
We got to check out the new offering ahead of its opening, and we (frankly) fell in love with it. The games are designed for groups of two to six people with varying degrees of difficulty. There are puzzles, brain games, physical challenges and more for you and your group to dive into.
Level99 Bar
If you want to check out the new offering but you aren’t interested in the games just yet, you can get a free pass to check out the restaurant and bar. This is the 4th LEVEL99 location, but the CEO has confirmed that more are going to be opening across the country. We can’t wait to see where the new locations go and how fans receive the new entertainment option in Disney Springs.
A new snack stand has come to EPCOT! La Poutinerie officially opened in the Canada Pavilion this week, and we tried it all. This new stand has the classic poutine that the Canada pavilion is known for, and the new stand is sponsored by Air Canada.

La Poutinerie
The new stand is open from 11 AM until 5 PM daily for you savory snackers. There are two different kinds of poutine to try, as well as several drinks to grab. While change is pretty hard, we did seriously enjoy these new bites. You can read our full review below!
Finally, Disney quietly announced a short-term closure of an infamous restaurant. That’s right, Coral Reef Restaurant in EPCOT is closing in September. The Coral Reef Restaurant is set to temporarily close on September 8th with no reopening date announced. What we do know is that Disney plans on reopening the dining spot later in 2026.
Coral Reef Restaurant
Disney hasn’t shared why the restaurant is closing. This could be a refurbishment, but it could also be a seasonal closure. Coral Reef actually shifted to a reduced, dinner-only schedule early this year, in January. We’re selfishly hoping this will be quite a big change because this restaurant has become one of Disney’s “worst” over the last few years.
Surf and Turf
While it’s not terrible, it’s hard to say that it’s a great choice compared to several of the other amazing options in EPCOT. We’re keeping our fingers firmly crossed for a fresh look and a new menu.
We are feeling extra hungry after all of that! It was a busy week (just like any other), and we are so excited for what’s ahead. As always, be sure to keep following DisneyFoodBlog for more Disney news, updates, details, and more.
