On Monday, Disney Springs posted an Instagram story announcing the indefinite closure of Candy Cauldron, a dessert shop in the West Side area of Disney Springs near the AMC and Coca-Cola store. The account boasts 1.4 million followers.
“Magic mirror on the wall, something is brewing this fall 🍎,” the Instagram story read. “Disney’s Candy Cauldron is temporarily closed for refurbishment and will be reopening in the coming months, with some spooktacular new treats.”

Disney’s Candy Cauldron features a show kitchen where Disney cast members prepare caramel-dipped apples, chocolate-covered marshmallows, and other distinctly Disney treats that guests can purchase. Frozen slushies and pre-packaged candies are also available.

Walt Disney World Resort didn’t announce an official reopening date for Candy Cauldron. The official Disney Springs website states:
“Beginning August 5, 2024, Disney’s Candy Cauldron will be temporarily closed for refurbishment. Please check back for additional information.”
While Candy Cauldron is closed, guests can visit Goofy’s Candy Company in the Marketplace Area of Disney Springs. In a much larger location, the shop offers more slushy flavors and many of the same fresh and pre-packaged treats as Candy Cauldron.
