Sprinkles Cupcakes has officially closed its location at Disney Springs in Orlando, Florida as of January 1, 2026. The closure comes as a surprise to many, with the company and Disney remaining tight-lipped about the reasons behind the sudden decision.

Why it matters

Sprinkles Cupcakes was a long-standing and popular dining option at Disney Springs, a key shopping and entertainment district at the Walt Disney World Resort. Its closure marks the end of an era and raises questions about broader trends in the dining scene at the popular tourist destination.

The details

The Sprinkles Cupcakes storefront at Disney Springs now has blacked-out windows and a closure notice prominently displayed. Disney has removed all future operating hours for the location from its schedule, while Sprinkles' website no longer offers pickup options after December 31, 2025. Internal communications suggest this closure may be part of a broader shutdown affecting the company.
