What This Means for Your Disney Springs Visit
If you are a Ghirardelli regular at Disney Springs, the good news is the shop is not disappearing — it is just moving temporarily. The former CrazyShake by Black Tap space in Town Center gives Ghirardelli a Disney Springs address while the original location near World of Disney undergoes construction.
Ghirardelli has been a Disney Springs staple for years, offering chocolate treats, sundaes, and its signature hot fudge sundae alongside a retail chocolate shop. The full menu and chocolate offerings are expected to continue at the temporary Town Center location during the remodel period.
The Remodel
No specific dates have been confirmed for either the original location closure or the opening of the temporary Town Center spot. What changes the remodel will bring to the original Ghirardelli space also has not been announced. Disney Springs has been actively refreshing its dining and retail offerings across multiple areas, so it is reasonable to expect the remodeled Ghirardelli to look meaningfully different when it returns in Spring 2027.
