Disney Springs has restaurants tucked behind shops, restaurants floating on the water, and restaurants where you may accidentally spend $18 on a very tempting plate of cheese (well worth it!). Now, it has a restaurant hidden inside an enormous gaming venue — and you do not have to play the games to eat there!
Disney Springs
LEVEL99 recently opened on the West Side of Disney Springs with more than 60 physical, mental, and skill-based challenges spread across two floors. But behind all the puzzles, obstacle courses, and competitive chaos, there is also a full food and drink operation with a two-story bar, Detroit-style pizza, burgers, cocktails, and local beer. We stopped by solely for the food, and the process was surprisingly easy.
When you arrive at LEVEL99, you may see a line of guests waiting to check in for the games. That does not necessarily mean you need to join it. We told a LEVEL99 team member that we were visiting only to eat and drink. They gave us a special stamp that allowed us to enter the venue without purchasing gameplay or waiting through the regular player check-in process.
LEVEL99
That meant no game ticket, no Veloband, and no pretending we were prepared to race across a balance beam while giant axes swung nearby. We simply went inside and ordered food. This was the procedure during our visit, so it is always worth asking a team member at the entrance before hopping into any line. Operations can change, especially while a brand-new location is still finding its rhythm.
This is particularly helpful because LEVEL99 is primarily advertised as an interactive entertainment experience. It has Challenge Rooms, competitive Duels, and an art scavenger hunt, with the food positioned as a place for players to refuel. Unless you already know that the dining area is open to non-players, you could easily walk right past the building and assume admission is required.
LEVEL99
But you can currently stop in for lunch, dinner, drinks, or a snack without committing to a timed gaming session. That makes LEVEL99 a sneaky new dining option for anyone exploring the West Side, especially if nearby restaurants have long waits. It could also work well when one person wants to play while another prefers to conduct important research at the bar. I have always believed ordering a cocktail counts as a skill-based challenge.
This is not a tiny concession stand feeding weary puzzle-solvers. LEVEL99 has a substantial menu with snacks, salads, handhelds, desserts, and Detroit-style pizzas available by the slab or as a whole pie. The signature Roni, Roni, Roni pizza features pepperoni, house-made red sauce, pecorino Romano, Calabrian chili, and fresh basil. Other options include the House Burger, made with domestic wagyu, sharp cheddar, caramelized onions, and brown butter aioli, as well as Loaded Elote Guacamole, Birria Street Tacos, Korean BBQ Sticky Wings, and Hot Honey Whipped Feta.
Detroit Style Pizza
There is also a large drink menu featuring craft beers, wine, frozen cocktails, zero-proof options, and cocktails such as the Hibiscus Old Fashioned, Cherry Cardamom Mule, and Mango Habanero Margarita. In other words, this is a real meal situation. You do not have to survive an obstacle course first to earn your pizza.
When you arrive at LEVEL99, look for a team member near the entrance and tell them you are visiting only for food or drinks. During our visit, we received a special stamp and were able to bypass the gameplay check-in line. From there, we entered the venue and ordered without purchasing a ticket. Because LEVEL99 is still new, the exact entry process could evolve. Crowds, private events, or venue capacity may also affect dining-only access. Ask before waiting in the player line, and do not be surprised if procedures look a little different during your trip.
LEVEL99
Still, this is a VERY useful Disney Springs trick to know. LEVEL99 may look like a ticketed attraction from the outside, but a full restaurant and bar is hiding beyond that entrance. Sometimes the greatest Disney challenge is simply knowing which line you do not have to stand in. Follow us at Magical Guides for more!
