PHOTOS: Gideon’s Bakehouse Grand Opening Draws Massive Crowds to Disney Springs; Virtual Queue Over 12 Hours Long

Gideon’s Bakehouse at Disney Springs is now officially open. The bakery soft opened in December. After a temporary closure in early January, the location is having its grand opening today. Be sure to check out our review of the three limited-edition cookies available today only! As part of the celebration, Gideon’s is offering free art prints of its gargoyle. Stickers, limited edition cookies, free peanut butter buttercream dip, and a gargoyle T-shirt area also available.

The grand opening promotions drew a crowd. Traffic was backed up entering the Disney Springs Orange Garage. Long lines of guests snaked through the garage an hour before the bakery’s 10 AM opening.
