Disney Springs has a rotating cast of dining and retail tenants that reflects both the location's appeal and the reality that not every concept that opens there is designed to stay forever. Pop-ups, limited-time experiences, and short-term concepts have become a regular part of how the shopping and dining district operates, giving Disney a way to test guest interest and generate social media buzz without committing to permanent footprints. Some of those concepts extend their runs. Many close on schedule. While some leave a space dark, while everyone waits to find out what comes next.
CrazyShake by Black Tap just closed and the space is already empty.
What Happened
The CrazyShake by Black Tap pop-up opened on March 2 in the former Sprinkles location at Disney Springs. According to the February announcement, the timeline was explicit. A 90-day initial operating period with the possibility of extension based on performance. No extension was announced. The pop-up has now closed, the signage has been removed from the facade, and the lights inside are off.
Disney has not announced what will take over the space. The former Sprinkles location has prime visibility and foot traffic within Disney Springs, and it is unlikely to stay dark for long, but right now, there is nothing there and no confirmed replacement on the calendar.
What the Pop-Up Actually Was
CrazyShake by Black Tap is a concept built around milkshakes that are engineered to be photographed before they are consumed. The shakes arrive in frosting-rimmed containers, rolled in candy or sprinkles, with elaborate toppings that include Rice Krispies treats, brownies, cookies, candy bars, rock candy, and whipped cream, stacked above the glass in a way that makes every order a visual event.
The Disney Springs location operated as a grab-and-go window rather than a full-service restaurant, which suited the former Sprinkles footprint perfectly. The menu was focused exclusively on milkshakes, with no food service.
The signature item was the Special Edition Mickey CrazyShake at $24, featuring a vanilla frosting rim with Mickey sprinkles, a homemade Mickey-shaped crispy treat made with fondant rather than standard marshmallows, premium rock candy, whipped cream, and a cherry. The Mickey theming was exclusive to Disney properties, and the higher price reflected the quality of the ingredients and the Disney-specific design elements that guests could not find at any other Black Tap location.
Standard CrazyShakes ran $17.50 and included the BAM BAM Shake with fruity pebbles and a strawberry Pop-Tarts, the Cookie Shake with a cookiewich and cookie crumbles, the Cookies' n Cream Supreme with crushed Oreos and a cookies and cream sandwich, and the Brooklyn Blackout with two chocolate brownies and chocolate frosting. Classic shakes without the elaborate toppings were $12 in flavors including chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, Nutella, peanut butter, Oreos, and cream.
The Social Media Reality
CrazyShakes are built for the current food content landscape in a way that very few dining concepts consistently execute. The visual spectacle of receiving one of these shakes, the frosting rim rolled in candy, the stacked toppings extending well above the glass, the Mickey-shaped crispy treat balanced on top of the Florida version, turns the transaction into content before anyone takes a sip. During its nearly three-month run at Disney Springs, the Special Edition Mickey CrazyShake consistently appeared across Instagram, TikTok, and Disney food content channels, keeping the conversation around the pop-up active well beyond its opening week.
Whether that performance was strong enough to justify an extension is apparently not something Disney decided to pursue. The 90-day run ended and the space is now empty.

What Comes Next for Disney Springs
Nobody knows. Disney has not announced a replacement. The former Sprinkles location that became the CrazyShake pop-up is now dark with no confirmed successor. Given the foot traffic and visibility of the space within Disney Springs, something will eventually fill it, but the timeline and concept are not public information at this point.
Black Tap Craft Burgers and Shakes has a permanent location at the Downtown Disney District at the Disneyland Resort in California. For Florida guests who discovered the brand through the Disney Springs pop-up and want to find it again, the California option exists, though it requires a trip to Anaheim.
The pop-up worked as pop-ups are meant to. It generated buzz, gave guests a limited-time reason to visit Disney Springs, produced a significant amount of social media content, and closed on schedule. The space is empty, and the milkshakes are gone.
Whatever comes next has some significant visual expectations to live up to.
