Ghirardelli Opens Temporary Shop in Disney Springs Town Center

The move preserves guest service during a major refurbishment that will add indoor seating and aims to shorten wait times when the Marketplace location reopens in spring 2027.

Overview

  • Ghirardelli has begun operating a temporary outlet in the former Sprinkles Cupcakes building in Disney Springs Town Center and is serving its sundaes, shakes and packaged sweets to guests.
  • The company posted a statement saying the change honors its roughly 30 years at Disney Springs and gives Ghirardelli a chance to reimagine the guest experience during the renovation.
  • The long‑running Marketplace soda fountain closed for a major refurbishment intended to expand indoor seating, reduce queues and introduce new features, with a planned reopening in spring 2027.
  • Signage and fit‑out work preceded the opening and the temporary shop includes branded decor, menu screens, paper menus and patio seating to manage guest flow while construction continues.
  • The relocation is part of broader changes across Disney Springs that have included other recent store openings and refits, and it keeps a longtime resort fixture serving visitors during the yearlong overhaul.
