The Ganachery 🍫
Updated: Aug 25
The Ganachery is a small specialty chocolate shop at Disney Springs that focuses on handcrafted chocolates, ganache squares, s’mores and seasonal sweets. It feels more like an artisan chocolatier than a traditional candy shop, which makes it a nice stop when you want a small dessert or a gift that feels a little more special.
🍽️ Experience
A visit to The Ganachery is usually quick and easy. You can browse the display cases, choose individual chocolates or boxed assortments and watch some of the chocolate preparation happening inside the shop. It is especially nice as an after-dinner stop because you can choose one or two small treats instead of committing to a huge dessert.

🌾 Allergies
Disney is very conscientious about food allergies and dietary needs, and many Disney Springs restaurants make an effort to accommodate guests whenever possible. Some locations offer separate allergy-friendly menus or clearly identify allergy-friendly options on their regular menus. Be sure to let your server or a Cast Member know about any allergies before ordering. Depending on the restaurant and the specific allergy, food may be prepared in a separate area or additional precautions may be taken to help reduce the risk of cross-contact. Because kitchens and preparation areas vary, accommodations cannot always be guaranteed, so guests with severe allergies should discuss their specific needs with the restaurant team before ordering.
💡 Tips
🍫 Buy a few individual ganache squares if it is your first visit so you can try more than one flavor.
🔥 The artisan s’more is a good choice if you want something made to enjoy right away.
🎁 Boxed chocolates make an easy gift or take-home treat.
🥂 Check for seasonal drink pairings if you want to turn the stop into a small dessert experience.
