3 Disney Springs Stores Permanently CLOSED This Year

We are definitely in the era of change at Walt Disney World. Several ride updates are on the horizon, and new lands are being developed as we speak in the theme parks!

Not even Disney Springs, Disney’s shopping and dining district, is immune to the changes. This year alone, 3 stores have closed permanently, and we’ve got all of the info right here, so you’re not caught unaware!

Yes, there are lots of closures, construction, and more these days around the Disney World resort, but three permanent closures in just 4 months does feel like a lot! First, we lost Sprinkles Cupcakes in January 2026.

Sprinkles Cupcakes

Sprinkles was a part of a nationwide closure of the brand’s brick-and-mortar stores that took place on January 1st, 2026. Ahead of the sudden closure, there was speculation online that the Disney Springs location would be closing up shop, so it wasn’t too much of a shock once the doors were finally closed.

Disney didn’t waste much time, though! This spot was quickly occupied by the Black Tap CrazyShakes pop-up, so you can still find a sweet treat at this location. This location is only for a limited time and will be available until June 1st, 2026.

The second permanent closure was Francesca’s! This women’s apparel store closed its doors on March 29th, after the company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in early 2026 and proceeded to shut down all store locations.

The store ran several last-minute discounts ahead of its closure, and we even stopped by to see workers clearing the store out after its last day. When we glanced inside the store, there was no hint of what might replace it. The store had been open for nearly 10 years at Disney Springs, so it’s sad to see such a staple go!

Finally, the Shore clothing store is also closing its doors very soon! The clothing store’s last day will be on April 30th, 2026, so there isn’t much time left.

If you head to Disney Springs before its closure, there are some big sales going on because everything in the store is currently 40% off. These sales aren’t available online, so you will have to swing by Disney Springs to take advantage of the discounts.

Disney hasn’t shared what will replace the beachwear store, but we are keeping our eyes peeled for more news. These three permanent closures join several others from the last few years, including the Art of Shaving, the Sosa Family Cigars shop, the Uggs Store, Sanuk, and more. While change can be hard, it is exciting to see what new offerings might pop up in the near future. As always, be sure to keep DisneyFoodBlog for more Disney news, updates, and more.
