Credit: DisneyCrazyShake by Black Tap will replace Sprinkles at Disney Springs, opening March 2, 2026, in the former cupcake shop’s location. The pop-up will offer indulgent, photogenic milkshakes featuring over-the-top candy and cookie toppings. Unlike other recent full-service restaurants, CrazyShake will operate as a grab-and-go window, focusing solely on milkshakes.
The pop-up will open at noon daily and operate for an initial 90-day period, with the possibility of extension based on performance. This limited-time experience aims to attract dessert lovers and influencers at Walt Disney World Resort.
What CrazyShake by Black Tap Actually Is
CrazyShake by Black Tap is a unique pop-up concept known for its extravagant milkshakes, famous for toppings such as slices of cake, entire candy bars, and cotton candy. These stunning creations are served in frosting-rimmed containers rolled in candy or sprinkles, elevating traditional milkshake presentations to a new level. Each shake features elaborate combinations of cookies, candy, brownies, and whipped cream, designed to create visually striking, shareworthy moments perfect for social media.
The Disney Springs Menu
The Disney Springs menu will include several signature CrazyShake options:
BAM BAM Shake ($17.50): Vanilla frosted rim with fruity pebbles topped with a fruity pebbles rice krispy treat, strawberry pop tart, laffy taffy, whipped cream and a cherry. This robust, cereal-inspired dessert is known for its structural integrity and temperature control, offering a well-balanced flavor profile that highlights the synergy between classic breakfast cereal and rich frosting. The vanilla frosting rim pairs marvelously with the cereal, while the cereal itself complements the whipped cream for a nostalgic tasting experience. The ice cream is served very cold, which is a significant advantage for maintaining its consistency, and it features a large, shareable piece of Laffy Taffy adding a playful candy element.
Cookie Shake ($17.50): Vanilla frosted rim with cookie crumbles topped with a cookiewich, crumbled cookies, chocolate chips, whipped cream and chocolate drizzle.
Cookies ‘n Cream Supreme ($17.50): Vanilla frosted rim with crushed oreos topped with a cookies ‘n cream sandwich, crumbled oreo, whipped cream and chocolate drizzle.
Brooklyn Blackout ($17.50): Chocolate frosted rim with mini chocolate chips topped with two chocolate brownies, whipped cream and chocolate drizzle.
Special Edition Mickey CrazyShake ($24): Vanilla frosting rim and Mickey sprinkles, then topped with a homemade Mickey-shaped crispy treat, rock candy, whipped cream, and a cherry. This shake features high-quality solid components including top-tier rock candy and a Rice Krispie treat made with professional-grade fondant that pairs perfectly with the base. The vanilla frosting rim adorned with sprinkles significantly boosts both the flavor and the visual appeal, and the container is effectively designed to catch falling sprinkles, keeping the experience cleaner. True to its name, the milkshake is notably thick, requiring some effort to drink through a straw, and is topped with a generous amount of whipped cream. Due to its size and richness, it is best enjoyed as a shared item.
Additionally, classic shakes are $12 with flavor options including chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, Nutella, peanut butter, cookie, fruity pebbles, and oreo cookies and cream.
Why the Mickey Shake Costs More
The Special Edition Mickey CrazyShake costs $24, which is more than the $17.50 standard CrazyShakes. This higher price comes from using better ingredients, attractive design, and Disney-themed features that you won’t find at Black Tap’s locations outside of Disney. The shake includes high-quality items like premium rock candy and a Rice Krispie treat made with fondant instead of regular marshmallows, enhancing both texture and flavor.
The homemade Mickey-shaped treat adds Disney branding and a nice texture contrast to the creamy shake. Rock candy adds extra sweetness and sparkle, making it great for photos. This level of theming shows that Black Tap knows how to create unique offerings for its locations. The Mickey Mouse Shake is exclusive to Disney properties, making it appealing for Disney fans who want limited-edition, location-specific food items.
Why This Generates Buzz
CrazyShakes’ popularity stems from their stunning visual appeal, making them perfect for TikTok and Instagram. The making and presentation of these milkshakes often turn into a mini event, with guests eagerly capturing the moment before their first sip. Beyond their looks, the shakes are rich and indulgent, embodying a full-on sugar celebration.
This trend highlights how visual presentation increasingly drives food and beverage choices, as guests look for Instagram-friendly options that promise social media engagement. Disney has embraced this trend with mixed results, sometimes prioritizing visual impact over taste.
CrazyShake by Black Tap already excels in both aesthetics and quality, creating satisfied customers who promote the brand. This strong track record suggests that the Disney Springs location could become a popular destination rather than just a one-time novelty.
The Disney Springs Sprinkles Replacement Context
The former Sprinkles location at Disney Springs was highly sought after due to its prime visibility and foot traffic. Known for upscale cupcakes, its closure sparked speculation about a replacement. CrazyShake by Black Tap taking over makes sense, as both focus on premium, visually appealing desserts for special occasions. The grab-and-go model of CrazyShake fits well within the Sprinkles storefront, designed for quick transactions rather than extended dining experiences.
The 90-Day Pop-Up Model
Guests should know that the CrazyShake pop-up at Disney Springs is only open for 90 days. This time limit might be extended if the pop-up does well. The short availability encourages visitors to come early, so they don’t miss out on the shakes if the pop-up closes.
Limited-time food offerings create excitement. Guests often share their experiences on social media and invite friends to visit before the time runs out. However, this limited duration can disappoint fans who hear about it too late or can’t visit in time.
Disney Springs has tried many temporary food concepts over the years. These pop-ups help test guest interest without committing to long-term spaces or leases.
If CrazyShake by Black Tap is successful during its 90 days, it could stay longer or even become permanent. However, no plans have been confirmed beyond the opening date of March 2 and the short operating period. Decisions to extend the pop-up will depend on sales, guest feedback, and social media engagement.
What This Means for Disney Springs
Disney Springs is set to introduce a new dessert option with the opening of CrazyShake by Black Tap on March 2, 2026. This pop-up promises extravagant desserts that are perfect for social media. Its success will depend on execution, pricing, and convenience within the complex, as well as the visual appeal of the shakes. As spring break approaches, this addition offers visitors another exciting choice among the existing ice cream shops and bakeries.
