Overview
- Ghirardelli opened a temporary Town Center outlet to maintain service, with multiple outlets reporting the pop-up began operating on July 1.
- Aqua construction walls and branded hoarding were erected around the original Marketplace shop, and signage on the walls states the location will re-open in 2027.
- Reporting says the Marketplace refurbishment is intended to add more indoor seating and shorten queues, though specific design details have not been released.
- The temporary store occupies the former Sprinkles/CrazyShake waterfront building near T-REX and Morimoto Asia and is offering the same core sundaes and menu items to minimize disruption for guests.
- The move fits a broader pattern of refreshes at Disney Springs and keeps Ghirardelli serving visitors during about a year of work, even as some visits have noted little visible exterior construction beyond the hoarding so far.
