Freeform’s 25 Days of Christmas Schedule

Gideon’s is the most dangerous shop on all of Disney Property

It would be for me...IF I could ever get near it! The lines/waits are insane and I never have that much Disney Springs time on the agenda.

I've learned that Gideon's needs to be my first stop when I arrive on property while my pocket book is still full and my stomach is empty.

I've made it one of my first stops because I usually have half a cookie and coffee in my room for breakfast before leaving for the parks since the resort's QS locations don't open early enough for rope drop!

Over the next few days, guests will be able to meet with Chip & Dale in Tomorrowland at Magic Kingdom after they were displaced from their normal Storybook Circus meet and greet space due to the distribution of the Mr. Toad Popcorn Buckets. Chip and Dale will meet during the day near Space Mountain and other areas throughout Tomorrowland as they roam and show off their futuristic costumes! It was explained to us that this meet and greet will only be for a limited time, with Chip & Dale possibly returning to Storybook Circus on November 5th.

Are these these the outfits they usually wear at Storybook?

You need to get there half an hour before they open on a weekday if you can, the wait is usually less than half an hour!

I've also had good luck later in the evening on a weekday.

They are in their Tomorrowland Outfits. They’re typically not dressed up in Storybook:

I usually do Disney Springs on my arrival or departure day, so I am either not there until mid-day or I can't wait too long becuase I have to get to the airport. Last time I was there on my departure day I did get there early, but it was a saturday and the line was already ridiculously long. The sad thing is that I REALLY like their cookies the one time I got them! I would love to visit again, but it never works out.

I love it when they’ve got the VQ going—I just stop there as soon as I hit DS, join the queue, then go do all my other shopping/wandering while I wait to be called.

I prefer the VQ to the line that wraps past Morimoto. Let me go do other things!

the line that wraps past Morimoto

Every time I walk by (a) there is a serious line and (b) I wonder how it is possible that a cookie is that good without including, ahem, "other substances."

They are pretty amazing. Even without additions.

They are pretty amazing. Even without additions.

Just IMO, they are about a 30-minute-wait amazing. They are definitely not a 45+-minute-wait amazing.

Weekdays it's often doable. But on weekends, the cookies just aren't good enough to wait for hours in line.

Yeah, but when th eestimated call back time is 5 hours later, I usually have plans elsewhere or have to be heading to the airport.

I love those Tomorrowland outfits, I wish they'd keep them meeting in those!

Agree, I'm not waiting in line for an hour or more for cookies. And I love their cookies. And their Peanut Butter Cold Brew is even better than the cookies!

The peanut butter cold brew is indeed amazing. I wish they served that elsewhere so I could get it more easily.
