Let’s admit it: we all have a sweet tooth, and Goofy’s Candy Co at Disney Springs is sure to satisfy those cravings when you’re visiting Walt Disney World at anytime.
Located in the Marketplace of Disney Springs, walking into Goofy’s Candy Company will hit you with a wonderful sweetness overload that will make you think, “Why haven’t I been here sooner?” From a sweet caramel apple to a Mickey-shaped chocolate cake pop, kids and kids at heart can find anything their craving at the candy co.
Even if super sweet candies and treats aren’t exactly for you, it turns out there is something for all guests at Goofy’s!
A sweet treat for everyone at Goofy’s Candy Co.
Imagine walking around Disney Springs and the need to satisfy your sweet tooth hits. While there are a number of different shops you could walk into all around Disney Springs, there isn’t one as iconic as Goofy’s Candy Company.
When walking into the shop, you’ll be greeted with classic sweet treat favorites like candy apples, cotton candy, cupcakes, gummy candy, lollipops, popcorn, taffy, other candies… and this list could go on and on.
There are fresh-baked sweet snacks along with bagged candies that can be eaten right in Disney Springs or taken to-go.
It’s nearly impossible to decide what you should take home with you as you leave!
I will say this isn’t the place to go if you’re looking for a full meal with your family. This is strickly a candy and sweets store. You really won’t find any food of real substance here but it does make a great stop after dinner for any late night snacking you might need to do!

Creating the perfect treats
After walking around Goofy’s Candy Company and taking a look at everything the shop has to offer, somehow, nothing catches your eye. You might feel like you’ll be walking back out into Disney Springs with nothing to snack on, but then you remember that you can create your own treat and be in charge of what exactly you want to eat at Goofy’s Candy Company.
How to make your own treat
While in the shop, you can grab a create-your-own-treat sheet and start making your creation. Take a pick from caramel apples, marshmallows, a fun Mickey-shaped rice cereal treat, or a cake pop and start creating.
Next, pick what you want your sweet treat to be dipped in. The options at Goofy’s Candy Co. include white chocolate or milk chocolate – all you have to do is actually decicde between the two.
The additional toppings you can add can feel endless. From crushed Butterfingers to mini marshmallows, to Oreo cookie crumbs and sliced almonds, there’s so much to choose from. Imagine your milk chocolate dipped Mickey rice cereal treat, covered in sprinkles and peanut butter chips… it’s making me hungry already.
All of these additional toppings will cost you about $1 each and the create-your-own treat is only available at this Disney Springs location from about noon to 10:00 p.m.
This is for sure one of the best customizing experiences at Disney Springs and maybe at Disney World in general!
With many attractions at Walt Disney World, exact timing of when the line won’t be super-long to create your own treat will just depends on the crowd sizes at Disney Springs. I’ve had good luck later at night, but I’ve also seen longer lines right after dinner.
No matter what, be prepared to wait, but if you’re like me, you’ll do nearly anything to get your hands on a caramel apple.
The perfect gift at Walt Disney World
One of my favorite souvenirs to bring home to my friends and family from Walt Disney World, is candy from Goofy’s Candy Company. I find that these treats usually travel well and they make for an inexpensive treat to bring home.
If you’re staying at a Walt Disney World Resort there will be a small selection of Goofy’s Candy Company treats in the resort gift shop, but not as big of a selection as sweets and goodies as the main store in Disney Springs.
When picking out a treat to take back home with you, remember somethings do not travel as well as others. For example, it’s probably not a good idea to buy your brother a caramel apple to bring home with you on the plane on the very first day of your vacation. But grabbing a bag of sour gummy worms will probably make the long trip home much better than the apple.
Also around the holidays, there are often special themed goodies, which are perfect to take home as presents for the entire family.
Getting into this very Goofy Candy Co.
Maybe one of the best parts of Goofy’s Candy Co. is that you don’t need to pay any park admission to visit and get some sweet treats.
Located on the west side of Disney Springs, Goofy’s Candy Co. is great to stop at, even if you’re not going to the Disney Parks, but still find yourself in Central Florida. There’s no admission fee to get into Disney Springs, which makes getting something from the Candy Co. really easy.
Guests can take a piece of the magic home, without even stepping into a Disney park. When I’ve stopped into Disney Springs when I wasn’t heading to any of the theme parks, visitng Goofy’s Candy Company always felt like being right in the middle of the magic.
Goofy’s Candy Co. is located at 1375 E Buena Vista Drive, Lake Buena Vista, FL and is open 10 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., Sunday through Thursday and until 11:30 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.
If you hape to find yourself in Disney Springs or just in the area, make sure you take a trip over and create your own dessert or take home of fun candies for the whole family.
