Disney Springs Just Confirmed This Instagram-Famous Dessert Shop Is Opening
Disney Springs is getting CrazyShake by Black Tap in March 2026, bringing the Instagram-famous specialty milkshakes from Downtown Disney at Disneyland Resort to Florida for the first time. The pop-up location will operate for a limited time, focusing exclusively on over-the-top milkshakes rather than offering a full restaurant experience.
The announcement adds another option to Disney Springs’ continuously expanding food and beverage lineup, though this concept differs from many recent additions by operating as a grab-and-go window rather than a sit-down dining location.
What CrazyShake Offers
CrazyShake by Black Tap specializes in creating visually striking specialty milkshakes that go far beyond traditional presentation. These aren’t just tall glasses of blended ice cream and milk—they’re towering constructions featuring milkshake bases topped with elaborate combinations of frosting-rimmed glasses, cookies, candy, brownies, whipped cream, and other dessert elements stacked on top of and around the glass.
The visual spectacle is intentional, designed to create shareable moments that drive social media engagement as guests post photos across Instagram, TikTok, and other platforms.
The Special Edition Mickey Mouse Shake highlights the menu for the Disney Springs location. The shake features a glass rimmed with vanilla frosting and Mickey sprinkles, topped with a homemade Mickey-shaped crispy treat, rock candy, whipped cream, and a cherry. That level of Disney-specific theming suggests Black Tap created location-exclusive offerings rather than just transplanting their existing menu from California.
The Black Tap Model
Black Tap operates a full-service restaurant at Downtown Disney in California, serving burgers, sandwiches, and CrazyShake milkshakes alongside other menu items. However, recognizing that many guests want shakes without committing to a full meal, Black Tap also operates a CrazyShake window at Downtown Disney allowing grab-and-go purchases.
That grab-and-go model is what’s coming to Disney Springs, focusing exclusively on specialty milkshakes rather than replicating the full restaurant experience. The smaller footprint makes it suitable for locations that wouldn’t accommodate sit-down dining.
No Confirmed Disney Springs Location Yet
Disney Springs has not confirmed a specific location for the CrazyShake by Black Tap pop-up shop. Disney Springs encompasses four neighborhoods: The Landing, Town Center, Marketplace, and West Side, each with different atmospheres and tenant mixes.
The pop-up model suggests this won’t be a permanent standalone building but rather a temporary activation that could potentially evolve based on performance and guest response. Pop-up concepts at Disney Springs have appeared in various configurations from kiosks to converted retail spaces to outdoor setups.
Limited Time Creates Urgency at Disney Springs
The announcement describes CrazyShake by Black Tap as opening for “a limited time,” creating urgency around visiting during the availability window rather than assuming indefinite operation. Limited-time food offerings generate higher initial traffic as guests rush to try items before they disappear.
Disney Springs has experimented with various limited-time and seasonal food concepts, using pop-ups to test guest interest without committing to permanent spaces and long-term leases. If CrazyShake by Black Tap performs well during its limited run, there’s potential for it to extend or become permanent, though nothing in the announcement confirms plans beyond the March opening.
The Instagram Factor
The emphasis on Instagrammable presentation reflects broader trends where visual appeal drives purchasing decisions as much as taste or value. Guests increasingly seek out foods that photograph well and generate social media engagement.
CrazyShake by Black Tap has the advantage of being a proven concept that already succeeds at both visual appeal and quality at existing locations. The shakes legitimately taste good while also looking spectacular, creating satisfied customers who become brand advocates rather than disappointed guests who feel products didn’t live up to Instagram hype.
What It Means for Disney Springs Guests
For Disney Springs visitors in March 2026 and beyond during whatever timeframe CrazyShake by Black Tap operates, the addition provides another dessert option beyond existing ice cream shops, bakeries, and candy stores. The grab-and-go nature makes it suitable for guests who want treats without committing to sit-down dining.
Whether CrazyShake by Black Tap becomes a must-visit destination or just another option depends on execution, pricing, location convenience, and how well the shakes deliver on their visual promise. The March opening gives Disney Springs something new to promote during a period when fresh offerings drive repeat visitation from locals and annual passholders.
