Um, Disney World? This Store Closure Situation Is CONCERNING

A Disney World store is set to reopen soon — or is it?

Candy Cauldron

We often see stores, rides, and even restaurants close for the occasional bit of necessary refurbishment, like the Candy Cauldron at Disney Springs. This haven for sugar fiends has been closed since August and we thought we had seen the light at the end of the tunnel coming up, but it turns out we may have been wrong after all.

The Disney World calendar may show that Candy Cauldron is reopening on September 24th, but we’re not too confident that will actually be the case. In anticipation of this sweet spot’s reopening, we’ve been keeping an eye on the calendar to get an idea of when we might be able to shop here again, and in the process, we noticed something rather odd.

When Candy Cauldron first closed for a temporary refurbishment at the beginning of August, Disney didn’t share a reopening date. But, we eventually did see operating hours pop up on the Disney World website — only for them to change multiple times.

In early September, it looked like Candy Cauldron was set to reopen on September 18th — and we rejoiced! But not too long after we saw that update, the opening date kept getting pushed back. First, we saw the hours pushed back to September 20th, then September 27th.

As of now, though, the Disney World website is showing operating hours for Candy Cauldron tomorrow, September 24th from 10AM to 11PM. So, is this store really opening back up tomorrow? Only time will tell, but you can bet we’ll be in Disney Springs to scope everything out and keep you in the loop!

Hopefully she’ll still be there to scare us

Luckily, there is no shortage of other places to get candy and sweet treats at Disney Springs! Consider stopping by Goofy’s Candy Co., the M&M’s Store, or even the Ganachery to get your sugar fix.

In the meantime, we’ll be on the lookout for the latest updates from Candy Cauldron and the rest of Disney World. Make sure you stay tuned to the Disney Food Blog so you don’t miss any of the latest news!
