Another change is coming to Disney Springs soon, and we can already see traces of it beginning, even if nothing is happening physically in the shopping and dining district just yet.
It was recently announced that Ghirardelli will be temporarily moving to a new spot in Disney Springs while the building its been in for 30 years undergoes a pretty extensive refurbishment. There’s been no timeline announced to help us prepare for when this change will actually begin, but now we have a hint that things are moving along.
A new permit has been filed for the Ghirardelli signage to be installed on the new temporary location in Town Center. The permit has been prepared by Dynamic Aspects, and we know the address of the building is listed as 1676 A E Buena Vista Dr., Lake Buena Vista, Florida.
We’re so relieved that we’ll still be able to visit Ghirardelli during the building’s refurbishment, but the relocation also indicates to us that a lot of work is needed in the original building. We know that Ghirardelli should be back in its regular spot by Spring 2027, and that the new shop will feature increased guest seating, more efficient guest checkout, and a “few surprises.”
In a recent release, Lacey Zane, Vice President of Restaurant & Retail at Ghirardelli Chocolate Company, said, “Disney Springs has been a cherished home for Ghirardelli for nearly 30 years, and we are proud of the magical chocolate memories we’ve helped create for guests from around the world. Our longstanding relationship with Disney is an important part of that story, and this next chapter allows us to thoughtfully evolve the space while honoring its legacy. We look forward to continuing to serve guests at our temporary location in Town Center during this transition and unveiling an updated space in 2027.”
