Disney Springs is full of tons of different shopping and dining options, but even though it’s only April, there have already been lots of changes in the area.

Sprinkles

This isn’t entirely unusual — with so many locations inside Disney Springs owned by various different companies, we’ve seen many stores and restaurants close their locations throughout the years. However, to already have three in just the first four months of 2026 is pretty interesting, especially since so far, only one new spot has taken its place. If you haven’t been to Disney Springs in a while, here’s a quick update of what you won’t be able to experience anymore, or what’s closing soon.

Sprinkles

The first closure of 2026 was none other than Sprinkles Cupcakes, right on the first of the year — January 1st. It was announced at the very end of 2025 that not only would the Sprinkles in Disney Springs be closing, but EVERY Sprinkles location across the United States closed on the same date.

While nothing long-term has been announced for this location, you can currently find the pop-up of CrazyShakes at Black Tap, which can be experienced in Disneyland’s Downtown Disney year-round. The pop-up is only around until May 31st, as it opened on March 2nd and it was mentioned that it would only be around for the next 90 days.

This spot is home to some pretty fantastic shakes, some of them MASSIVE and easily shareable. We’re bummed it’s only a limited time pop-up, but hey, it’s possible that we could see an extension, or something similar arrive at a later date.

Francesca’s

Following the closure of Sprinkles, it was announced around the middle of January that Francesca’s would be closing in Disney Springs as well, but once again, it wasn’t just THAT store. All Francesca’s stores closed on March 29th, and just a day after the closure, workers were already inside the store to totally clean it out.

At this time, no announcement has been made to what could be arriving in place of this spot, but we’ll be sure to keep an ear out!

Shore

Finally, it was recently announced that Shore, a beachy boutique inside Disney Springs, will also be closing soon. It’s final day of operation will be the last day of April, which is April 30th.

We called the store to confirm this information, as previously we had only heard rumors, and it was confirmed to be true. Currently, everything in the store is 40% off ahead of the closure, and we expect to potentially see sale percentages increase as we get closer to the end of the month. Similar to Francesca’s, Disney has not announced yet what will be taking this store’s place.

Disney Springs

Now, it’s not all closures — we also know that a new Vans store is coming to Disney Springs, as well as Six Ravens, the new savory partner to Gideon’s Bakehouse. In terms of entertainment, we’re really looking forward to LEVEL99 opening as well!
