Gideon's Bakehouse at Disney Springs is currently closed due to an ongoing air conditioning failure.
The flagship store of the world-famous Gideon's cookies was closed yesterday, and the latest update suggests it will remain closed on September 1, 2023.
The original small store at the East End Market on Corrine Dr, Orlando remains open as normal.
Here is the latest update from Gideon's social media.
Hi. This update is no fun, but here we are.
The temporary portable AC units are not adequately cooling the store today. The shop is empty with ovens off, yet the temp is still pushing 100. The fried AC part is out of stock until late September, so the next stage is to completely replace the AC unit, which was installed only a few months ago! Given that it's the size of a car, it will take some planning. Please send positive thoughts to the universe that it can get done tomorrow night. In the meantime, Gideon's at Disney Springs will likely be closed on September 1.
Everything will launch tomorrow per usual, but Gideon's at East End is the only game in town until we're back on track.
100+ degrees is impossible for my team, my desserts, and you.
Thank you for understanding, and my greatest apologies to the many people visiting from other parts of the world with Gideon's as an important part of your trip.
I hear you, and failing you causes unpleasant emotions in me. My team is pushing every option. I promise we are doing our best for you all.
