Ghirardelli Moves Into Temporary Town Center Shop During Disney Springs Renovation

The temporary outlet preserves guest access to sundaes and chocolates while Disney refits the Marketplace flagship to add indoor seating, faster checkout, unspecified extras.

Overview

  • Ghirardelli Soda Fountain & Chocolate Shop has relocated from its longtime Disney Springs Marketplace storefront into a nearby Town Center space that previously housed Sprinkles Cupcakes and a Black Tap pop‑up.
  • The temporary shop is open now and is serving Ghirardelli’s core offerings, including chocolate bars, grab‑and‑go treats, sundaes and milkshakes with the same ordering and pickup flow seen at the original location.
  • Construction walls and directional signage surround the Marketplace site as crews carry out an extensive refurbishment that Disney says will conclude in spring 2027.
  • Disney has described planned changes for the renovated flagship as added indoor seating, a more efficient checkout area and a few unspecified features, but it has not released detailed design plans.
  • Moving into a temporary storefront keeps the brand’s routine guest experience intact during about a year of work and should reduce disruption for visitors while Disney Springs continues broader updates across the district.
