New Disney Springs Restaurants 2026: Six Ravens, Level99, and More Coming This Summer

The new Disney Springs restaurants arriving in 2026 are some of the most exciting additions the district has seen in years. If you have a Walt Disney World trip coming up, there is a lot to plan around. A brand-new savory dining concept is coming from the team behind one of the most popular bakeries in Orlando. The largest interactive gaming venue in Florida is also on its way. Here is everything confirmed to be coming to Disney Springs this summer.

Six Ravens: The Newest Dining Concept at Disney Springs

If you have ever visited Gideon’s Bakehouse at The Landing, you already know the experience goes beyond the food itself. The moody theming, the attention to detail, and the quality of the product have made it one of the most talked-about stops at Disney Springs. This summer, the team behind Gideon’s is opening a second concept just a few doors down called Six Ravens.

Six Ravens is a grab-and-go savory dining spot. It is the first thing you need to know about when planning a Disney Springs meal this summer. While Gideon’s has always focused on the sweet side, Six Ravens goes entirely savory. It brings the same level of care and storytelling to comfort food.

What Is on the Menu at Six Ravens?

The signature item is the Coffyn. It is a medieval-inspired hand pie built on a house-made yeast roll and stuffed with savory fillings. The name comes from history. Coffyns were the original term for a pastry case people used to carry hearty meals on long journeys in Medieval Europe. Six Ravens draws on that same idea of portable, satisfying food done right.

Beyond the Coffyns, the confirmed menu includes:

Smashed potatoes with dipping sauces including sweet heat and honey mustard
Dessert tarts
Local draft beers from Sideward Brewing and The Ravenous Pig, two Orlando favorites
Root beer on tap

Six Ravens will not participate in the Disney Dining Plan, so budget accordingly if you are on a package. Disney has launched an official webpage for Six Ravens but has not yet published a full menu with pricing. No exact opening date has been announced as of this writing. Disney has confirmed a summer 2026 opening, and the exterior of the storefront at The Landing is nearly complete.

Why Six Ravens Is Worth Watching

Six Ravens takes over the former Art of Shaving space at The Landing, just steps from Gideon’s Bakehouse. The buzz around Gideon’s gives you a good idea of what to expect. Lines will form fast once this place opens. It is a grab-and-go concept, so it will not require an advance dining reservation. You will still want to time your visit strategically. Once the full menu and pricing go live, we will have more to share. In the meantime, bookmark this one.

Level99: A New Food and Entertainment Destination on the West Side

Level99 is not a restaurant in the traditional sense. But if you visit Disney Springs this summer, the food and beverage program here is worth knowing about. This interactive gaming venue is opening on the West Side of Disney Springs. It takes over the massive space that once held the NBA Experience, sitting next to Drawn to Life presented by Cirque du Soleil and across from House of Blues.

This will be the fourth Level99 location in the country and by far the largest. It spans more than 45,000 square feet across two stories and features 63 life-sized mini-games and challenge rooms. The venue targets adults and teens with physical challenges, puzzle-based rooms, and player-vs-player duels.

What to Eat and Drink at Level99

A two-story bar sits at the center of the Level99 space, encircled by glowing rings of neon light. The food and beverage program is a real highlight. Here is what Level99 will serve:

Award-winning Detroit-style pizza, the signature item Level99 is known for
Wagyu burgers
Handcrafted cocktails and rotating beers on tap
Snacks and made-from-scratch bites prepared fresh daily

Level99 has confirmed a summer 2026 opening. The venue is currently hiring for 150 entertainment, food, and beverage positions. No specific opening date has been announced yet. More details are expected in the coming weeks.

Tips for Planning Your Level99 Visit

Level99 works best for groups. If you visit Disney Springs with friends, a partner, or older kids, block out real time for this one. Do not treat it as a quick stop between stores. The food gives you a reason to make a full meal of it.

Level99 is not a traditional Disney dining location. It will not appear in the My Disney Experience reservation system. Check the Level99 website directly for ticketing and reservation details as the opening gets closer.

Cool Kids Summer at Disney Springs: The Bigger Picture

Both Six Ravens and Level99 are opening as part of Disney’s Cool Kids Summer celebration. The event runs from May 26 – September 8, 2026, across all four Walt Disney World parks and Disney Springs. At Disney Springs, expect DJ dance parties, themed photo opportunities, a splash pad, and summer activations throughout the season.

Also new this summer, the AdventHealth Waterside Stage hosts the DescenDANCE Party x Camp Rock Jam on select nights. The event is a high-energy dance party celebrating two new Disney+ original movies: Descendants: Wicked Wonderland and Camp Rock 3. It is free and family-friendly, and it gives you a great reason to stay at Disney Springs into the evening.

For everything new across the parks this summer, check out our full guide to what’s new at Walt Disney World this summer.

Tips for Dining at Disney Springs This Summer

Disney Springs does not require a park ticket to visit. That makes it a great option for a rest day or an evening out. The most popular restaurants still book up fast, especially during peak summer travel. Here is what to keep in mind:

Disney Springs dining reservations open 60 days in advance through the My Disney Experience app
Six Ravens and Level99 are both expected to be walk-up options, not traditional ADR locations, though details are still being confirmed
Summer evenings at Disney Springs get crowded, especially on weekends and during Cool Kids Summer events
If your preferred time at a Disney Springs table-service restaurant is not available, MouseDining.com will alert you the moment a table opens up

That last tip matters most in summer. Disney Springs draws large crowds from Memorial Day through Labor Day. Popular spots like The BOATHOUSE, Chef Art Smith’s Homecomin’, and Morimoto Asia fill up fast. Set your MouseDining alerts early so you are not scrambling the week of your trip.

Walt Disney World 4-Day, 4-Park Magic Ticket Is Back for Summer 2026: Everything You Need to Know

General By Kim Fidler May 4, 2026 Tags: 4-Day 4-Park, Disney Tickets, Tickets, Walt Disney World Resort No Comments

If you have been waiting for the right moment to plan your Walt Disney World vacation, this summer might just be it. Disney has brought back one of the most popular ticket deals in recent memory: the 4-Day, 4-Park Magic Ticket. After a one-summer hiatus in 2025, it has returned for 2026, and this time Magic Kingdom is included.

This deal was wildly popular in 2023 and 2024, and we expect it to sell quickly again. Here is everything you need to know before you get your tickets.

What Is the 4-Day, 4-Park Magic Ticket?

The 4-Day, 4-Park Magic Ticket gives you one admission to each of the four Walt Disney World theme parks, one park per day, for four separate days at a discounted price. That means one day each at Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom.

You cannot visit the same park twice on separate days, but same-day re-entry to your chosen park is allowed. So if you want to take a midday break at your resort and head back for the evening fireworks, you are covered.

Dates and Key Details

The 4-Day, 4-Park Magic Ticket is valid for arrivals between May 26, 2026 and September 26, 2026. When you purchase, you will select a start date. All four park admissions must be used within 7 days of that start date, meaning visits can extend through as late as October 3, 2026.

Pricing starts at $100 per day (plus tax), for a total starting price of $399 plus tax for guests ages 3 and up. Prices may vary slightly depending on your selected start date. Later summer dates, like August and September, tend to come in at the lower end of the price range, while peak season dates like the 4th of July will have a higher price.

Important Restrictions to Know

Park Hopper cannot be added to this ticket. It is one park per day only.
Each park may only be visited once across your four days.
Tickets are non-transferable and non-refundable once purchased.
Theme park parking is not included.
The ticket cannot be upgraded after purchase.
Activities and events separately priced by Disney are not included.

Who Is This Ticket Best For?

The 4-Day, 4-Park Magic Ticket is a fantastic option for the right traveler. Here is who will get the most out of this deal.

First-Time Visitors

If this is your family’s first trip to Walt Disney World, seeing all four parks is likely high on the list. This ticket makes that possible at a price point that is significantly lower than standard multi-day tickets.

Families Traveling Over Summer Break

The valid date window runs from late May through early fall, a near-perfect overlap with most school summer schedules. If your kids are out of school, this deal was designed with your family in mind.

Out-of-State Guests Doing One Big Trip

For visitors flying in from outside Florida who plan one Disney trip per year, getting maximum park coverage at a reduced per-day rate makes a lot of financial sense. At $100 per day versus the roughly $140 per day cost of standard summer tickets, the savings add up quickly. For a family of four, that difference is significant.

One-Park-Per-Day Planners

If your travel style involves spending a full day at each park without needing to hop between them, this ticket fits perfectly. No Park Hopper needed means no extra cost for a feature you would not use anyway.

Budget-Conscious Families

A standard 4-day Walt Disney World ticket for summer 2026 runs approximately $558 total. The 4-Park Magic Ticket starts at $436, a savings of more than $120 per person. For a family of four, that is roughly $480 back in your pocket that can go toward dining, merchandise, or Lightning Lane.

Who Should Consider a Different Ticket?

This deal is not for everyone. If you want to visit Magic Kingdom more than once, if Park Hopper is a must-have for your travel style, or if your trip dates fall outside the May 26 through October 3 window, a standard multi-day ticket or Annual Pass may be a better fit. Your Disney travel agent can help you compare options and find what makes the most sense for your specific trip.

Can You Add Extras?

While Park Hopper cannot be added, you can purchase the Water Park and Sports Option as an add-on. This allows you to visit Disney’s water parks, Typhoon Lagoon or Blizzard Beach, or a golf course in addition to your four theme park visits for four additional days. You can use the Water Park and Sports Option at any of these locations:

A Walt Disney World water park (either Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon water park or Disney’s Blizzard Beach water park, whichever is open. If both are open, you may visit each one once.)
ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex
Disney’s Oak Trail Golf Course
FootGolf at Disney’s Oak Trail
Disney’s Fantasia Gardens Miniature Golf Course (one round; prior to 4:00 PM)
Disney’s Winter Summerland Miniature Golf Course (one round; prior to 4:00 PM)

Lightning Lane options can also be purchased separately.

What Is New at the Parks This Summer?

Summer 2026 is shaping up to be a great time to visit Walt Disney World. Disney has brought back its “Cool Kids Summer” programming, including Bluey’s Wild World at Conservation Station and the new Disney Jr. Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Live! show. A reimagined Buzz Lightyear and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad recently reopened, and later this month, Soarin’ Across America and Rock-n-Roller Coaster Starring the Muppets will debut at the parks. Both water parks will be open throughout the summer, and guests staying at a Disney Resorts Collection hotel can enjoy free admission to one water park on their check-in day.

Ready to Book?

The 4-Day, 4-Park Magic Ticket is one of the best Walt Disney World ticket values we have seen in years, and it will not last forever. Tickets are on sale now and popular dates can fill up quickly.

To get started, reach out to your favorite Disney travel agent. They can help you find the best dates within the offer window, pair your tickets with resort and dining deals, and make sure your entire trip is planned to perfection.

Disney Dining Plans 2027: Every Option, Price & What’s Included

General, News By Kim Fidler May 2, 2026 Tags: 2027 Dining Plans, Deluxe Disney Dining Plans, Dining Plans, Walt Disney World Resort, Walt Disney World Resort restaurants No Comments

Walt Disney World Resort is giving guests more options than ever when it comes to dining plans for 2027. For the first time in years, there are three Disney Dining Plan tiers to choose from: the Quick-Service Dining Plan, the Table-Service Dining Plan, and the brand-new 2027 Deluxe Table-Service Dining Plan. Whether you’re a grab-and-go family or a serious foodie who plans entire days around sit-down meals, there’s a plan built for your trip.

Not sure which one is right for you? We’re breaking down every 2027 Disney Dining Plan, every price, and every credit so you can make the best call for your 2027 vacation. And once you’ve got your plan locked in, don’t forget to set your dining reservation alerts through MouseDining so you don’t miss out on the restaurants you really want.

The 2027 Disney Dining Plans at a Glance

2027 Dining Plan Comparison

	Quick-Service	Table-Service	Deluxe Table-Service
Adult / night	$62.78	$99.87	$163.01
Child / night (ages 3-9)	$25.82	$31.94	$46.85
Quick-service meals	2 per night	1 per night	1 per night
Table-service meals	–	1 per night	2 per night
Snack / drink credit	1 per night	1 per night	1 per night
Refillable mug	Yes	Yes	Yes

All plans must be purchased for every guest in your party ages 3 and up, for the entire length of your stay. You cannot mix plans or purchase for only part of your trip. Unused credits roll over day to day and expire at midnight on your checkout day, so plan accordingly and don’t leave snack credits behind.

Families traveling in 2027 can save up to 20% on dining for kids ages 3 to 9 when they purchase a package that includes a dining plan for the whole family. Actual savings vary based on what your kids order.

The Quick-Service Dining Plan

Adult — Per Night

$62.78

Ages 10+

Child — Per Night

$25.82

Ages 3–9

What’s Included Per Night

2 quick-service meals (entree and non-alcoholic beverage each)
1 snack or nonalcoholic drink
1 Resort-Refillable Drink Mug per package

The Quick-Service Dining Plan is built for families who want to keep moving. There are no reservations required, no set meal times, and no sitting down for an hour in the middle of a park day. You order at the counter, grab your food, and get back to the magic. Or even better, mobile order through My Disney Experience. It’s a piece of cake (literally if you want it to be).

At roughly $31 per quick-service meal for an adult, this plan pays for itself quickly. A counter-service meal at a Disney park typically runs $18 to $25 per person before adding a drink. Factor in the snack credit and refillable mug, and the value is easy to see for families who eat two full meals in the parks each day.

Best For

Families who prioritize park time over sit-down dining
Guests who prefer flexibility without reservations
Trips with young children or picky eaters who prefer simple meals
Budget-conscious travelers who still want the convenience of prepaid meals

The Table-Service Dining Plan

Adult — Per Night

$99.87

Ages 10+

Child — Per Night

$31.94

Ages 3–9

What’s Included Per Night

1 table-service meal (entree, dessert at lunch and dinner, and nonalcoholic beverage)
1 quick-service meal (entree and nonalcoholic beverage)
1 snack or nonalcoholic drink
1 Resort-Refillable Drink Mug per package

The Table-Service Dining Plan is the sweet spot for guests who want one real sit-down experience each day without going all-in on fine dining every night. You get one table-service credit per night, plus a quick-service meal for the days when you just need something fast.

A typical table-service meal at Disney runs $55 to $80 per adult. Add the quick-service meal at $18 to $25, and you’re already approaching the plan’s cost before the snack credit and mug. For families who plan to do at least one character meal or themed dining experience each day, this plan delivers clear value. And more than that, it offers the convenience of having everything taken care of before you go.

This is also the plan that opens the door to some of Disney’s most memorable dining experiences. Think Sci-Fi Dine-In, Tusker House, The Crystal Palace, and the World Showcase restaurants at EPCOT. One sit-down meal a day is enough to make those moments a consistent part of your trip. Just make sure you have your reservations locked in. Popular restaurants book up fast, so set your MouseDining alerts now to grab the spots you really want.

Best For

Families who want one memorable sit-down meal each day
Guests planning character dining experiences
Trips that mix park time with relaxed dining moments
Guests who want flexibility between quick and table-service options

The Deluxe Table-Service Dining Plan

Adult — Per Night

$163.01

Ages 10+

Child — Per Night

$46.85

Ages 3–9

What’s Included Per Night

2 table-service meals (entree, dessert at lunch and dinner, and nonalcoholic beverage each)
1 quick-service meal (entree and nonalcoholic beverage)
1 snack or nonalcoholic drink
1 Resort-Refillable Drink Mug per package

The Deluxe Table-Service Dining Plan is back after a multi-year absence, and it’s the plan serious Disney diners have been waiting for. Two table-service meals per night means you can build your entire trip around Disney’s best restaurants without ever worrying about the bill. California Grill with fireworks one night, Topolino’s Terrace character breakfast the next morning, Narcoossee’s for dinner. This is that kind of trip.

Signature restaurants and select character dining experiences cost two table-service credits per person. With two credits per night built in, you can use one night’s credits on a single signature experience without losing your other dining option for the day. That flexibility is exactly what makes this plan worthwhile for foodies.

At $163.01 per adult per night, the break-even works out to roughly $75 per table-service meal. Most standard Disney table-service restaurants come in above that, and signature spots run $80 to $120 per person. Add the included quick-service meal, snack credit, and refillable mug, and the math gets even better, which we love. Just remember, gratuities are not included in your plan, so be sure to tip at all table service meals.

MouseDining Tip
Signature restaurants and popular character dining fill up fast. If you’re booking the Deluxe Plan, set your MouseDining alerts the moment your 60-day reservation window opens so you don’t miss the restaurants that make this plan worth it.

Best For

Guests who want two sit-down dining experiences every day
Foodies planning multiple signature or character dining meals
Trips where dining is a highlight, not just a necessity
Guests who want to experience Disney’s best restaurants without tracking costs

Which Plan Is Right for You?

Quick Guide to Choosing Your Plan

Choose Quick-Service if your family likes to keep moving, eat on your own schedule, and doesn’t want to plan reservations around your park days.
Choose Table-Service if you want one special sit-down meal each day, especially if character dining or a themed restaurant is on your must-do list.
Choose Deluxe Table-Service if dining is a core part of your Disney experience and you want the freedom to eat at Disney’s finest restaurants every single night.

No matter which plan you choose, dining reservations are strongly recommended for any table-service restaurant and required for dinner shows. Disney’s reservation window opens 60 days before your arrival date, and the most popular spots fill up within hours. Set your MouseDining alerts ahead of time so you get notified the moment a reservation opens up at your top picks.

Haven’t booked your 2027 trip yet? Now is the time. Reach out to your favorite authorized Disney travel agent to get your package locked in, including your dining plan. There’s no additional cost to work with a travel agent, and having a pro in your corner can make a real difference when it comes to navigating packages, discounts, and dining windows.

Planning Your Dining Reservations

Whichever plan you choose, the single most important thing you can do is get your dining reservations in order before you arrive. Disney’s most popular restaurants, including character dining locations, signature restaurants, and dinner shows, book up well in advance. Walking in without a reservation at Be Our Guest or Cinderella’s Royal Table is not a strategy.

Your reservation window opens 60 days before your arrival date and Disney Resort hotel guests booking a full package can make reservations for their entire stay starting on that first day. Mark your calendar and be ready.

MouseDining Tip
Did not get the reservation you wanted? Don’t give up. Cancellations happen constantly. Set a MouseDining alert for any restaurant on your list and you’ll be notified the moment a table becomes available. Visit MouseDining.com to set your alerts and start planning your perfect Disney dining trip.

What About 2026?

If you have a trip booked or are considering one before the end of 2026, the dining plan lineup is different. Guests traveling through December 31, 2026 can choose from two plans: the Disney Quick-Service Dining Plan and the Disney Dining Plan (which is equivalent to the 2027 Table-Service Dining Plan).

2026 Dining Plan Pricing

	Quick-Service	Disney Dining Plan
Adult / night	$60.50	$98.50
Child / night (ages 3-9)	FREE	FREE

The standout benefit for 2026 is the Kids Eat Free promotion. Children ages 3 to 9 receive a free dining plan that matches the adult plan purchased, when booked as part of a qualifying Walt Disney World vacation package. Adults ages 10 and up must purchase a dining plan for the entire length of stay, and everyone in the same room must be on the same package. This is one of the best family dining deals Disney has offered in years, and it is only available for 2026 travel.

If you have not yet booked a 2026 trip and want to take advantage of the free kids dining, now is the time to reach out to your favorite authorized Disney travel agent. Packages with this offer are limited. Once they are gone, they are gone.

Ready to start planning? Whether you’re visiting in 2026 or 2027, be sure to visit MouseDining.com for dining reservation alerts and everything you need to make the most of your Disney dining plan.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Disney Dining Plan worth it in 2027?

It depends on how you eat at Disney. The Quick-Service Dining Plan pays off for families who eat two full counter-service meals in the parks each day. The Table-Service Dining Plan makes sense for guests who plan at least one sit-down restaurant per night, especially at locations running $55 to $80 per person. The Deluxe Table-Service Dining Plan delivers the most value for guests who want two table-service meals daily, particularly at signature restaurants where prices run $80 to $120 per person. For all three plans, factor in the included quick-service meal, snack credit, and refillable mug when calculating your break-even.

How much does the Disney Dining Plan cost in 2027?

For 2027, the Quick-Service Dining Plan costs $62.78 per adult per night and $25.82 per child (ages 3 to 9) per night. The Table-Service Dining Plan costs $99.87 per adult per night and $31.94 per child per night. The Deluxe Table-Service Dining Plan costs $163.01 per adult per night and $46.85 per child per night. All prices are per person, per night of your resort stay, and must be purchased for every guest in your party ages 3 and up for the full length of your trip.

What is the difference between the Table-Service and Deluxe Table-Service Dining Plans?

The Table-Service Dining Plan includes one table-service meal, one quick-service meal, and one snack per person per night. The Deluxe Table-Service Dining Plan includes two table-service meals, one quick-service meal, and one snack per person per night. The Deluxe plan costs $163.01 per adult per night versus $99.87 for the standard Table-Service plan. The key advantage of the Deluxe plan is the ability to do two sit-down dining experiences every day, including signature restaurants and character dining, without using up all your credits in a single meal.

Can you use the Disney Dining Plan at signature restaurants?

Yes, but signature restaurants and select character dining experiences cost two table-service credits per person rather than one. This applies to locations like California Grill, Narcoossee’s, Le Cellier Steakhouse, Topolino’s Terrace (dinner), and Cinderella’s Royal Table. On the Table-Service Dining Plan, using two credits at a signature restaurant means spending both of that day’s credits in one meal. On the Deluxe Table-Service Dining Plan, you have two credits per night built in, giving you more flexibility to include a signature experience without sacrificing your other dining options for the day.

Do unused Disney Dining Plan credits roll over?

Yes. And no. Unused dining plan credits roll over from day to day throughout your stay and can be used at any time during your trip. However, all unused credits expire at midnight on your checkout day. They do not carry over to a future trip and cannot be refunded. Keep an eye on your remaining credits in the My Disney Experience app as your checkout date approaches, and make sure to use any leftover snack credits before you head home.

Do you need dining reservations with the Disney Dining Plan?

The Quick-Service Dining Plan requires no reservations at all. For the Table-Service and Deluxe Table-Service Dining Plans, reservations are strongly recommended for table-service restaurants and are required for dinner shows. Having a dining plan does not guarantee a table. Disney’s most popular restaurants book up within hours of the 60-day reservation window opening, so it is important to plan ahead. Use MouseDining to set alerts for your top restaurant picks so you are notified immediately when a reservation becomes available.

Is there a free dining plan for kids in 2027?

No. The Kids Eat Free dining promotion is a 2026-only offer. For 2027, children ages 3 to 9 can save up to 20% on their dining plan when purchased as part of a qualifying family package, but there is no free dining promotion available. If you want to take advantage of free kids dining, you need to book a 2026 Walt Disney World vacation package before that offer sells out. Contact your favorite authorized Disney travel agent to check availability.
