Gideon's Bakehouse (Disney Springs Flagship)

The Write-Up

The full story

Gideon's Bakehouse at Disney Springs is a dark, gothic and candlelit bakehouse where guests line up for cookies they describe as massive, rich and packed with flavor. The Original Chocolate Chip, Pistachio Toffee Chocolate Chip and Coffee Cake cookies anchor the case alongside cake slices and Peanut Butter Cold Brew. Guests say the cookies stay balanced rather than overly sweet, and many call the wait worth it.

District Story

The story of Disney Springs

A shopping village opened in 1975, a town history written for a 2015 rebrand, and springs built to match the story. This is the documented version, told straight.
