Sign Permit Filed as Ghirardelli Moves Toward Temporary Disney Springs Shop

The permit signals a concrete step toward a Town Center storefront and a broader remodel that aims to reopen the original site in spring 2027.

Overview

  • A signage permit was filed for the vacant Town Center space that formerly housed Sprinkles and CrazyShake, listing Dynamic Aspects as the contractor and indicating visible progress toward a temporary Ghirardelli location.
  • Ghirardelli plans to operate from the Town Center storefront while crews perform a major remodel of its long-standing Marketplace site near World of Disney.
  • The company and Walt Disney World have not announced firm dates for when the temporary outlet will open or when the existing Marketplace store will close.
  • The planned remodel is said to add more indoor seating, shorten wait times, and include unannounced guest features, with work expected to begin this summer and a target reopening in spring 2027.
  • Signage permits are often a later step in fit-out work and the permit expires in one year, so the filing suggests momentum but does not guarantee specific opening dates or timelines.
