Things are changing at Disney Springs!
After nearly 30 years at its current home, Ghirardelli Soda Fountain & Chocolate Shop has been temporarily relocated while its Marketplace location undergoes a renovation. The renovations are expected to be completed sometime in Spring 2027, so we stopped by the temporary location to check it out and bring you all the details you need to know!
Ghirardelli Soda Fountain & Chocolate Shop’s original location has closed and will reopen at a new, temporary location in the Disney Springs Town Center area. The updated shop in the Marketplace is expected to reopen in Spring 2027. The remodeled store will feature increased guest seating, more efficient guest checkout, and a “few surprises.” Chocolate surprises?! Say less.
The new, temporary location is located in the Disney Springs Town Center area, in the former Sprinkles Cupcakes location, which was more recently home to the Black Tap Crazy Shake pop-up.
We stopped by to check it out, and while the temporary location is lacking some of the whimsy that the original location had, we are happy that we can still get our Ghirardelli fix at all during the renovation! You’ll still be able to shop plenty of those little chocolate squares…
…and all of the ice cream treats and milkshakes you love from Ghirardelli are still available in the temporary location as well. For now, an official reopening date for the original Ghirardelli location has not yet been announced, but we’ll keep an eye out for any updates.
We’ll be on the lookout for even more Disney Springs updates you need to know about and beyond. In the meantime, make sure you stay tuned to the Disney Food Blog for the latest Disney news and more!
