Goodbye to Mission

[joelybelly]

Im sorry to hear that they are closing it, we never got to take the tour but I do love chocolate hahahaha

 

[Dizneydaz]

Yeah but you can get chocolate almost anywhere! Where else can you get a fresh, hot off the presses, corn or flour tortilla?

 

[Grim_Grinning_Girl]

Ghiradelli would make sense since it's from San Francisco (I think!) and it's already at Florida's Downtown Disney so there's a Disney link.

We always stop by to get free tortillas - but NEVER MIND the free tortilla's - the awesome virtual miniature family display!!!!! Too cool to get rid of !

My house, actually. Come on up!!!!

In southern California? Ummm pretty much anywhere.

Back to the topic, I wonder when the Ghirardelli's will be opened? We're going in July (I'm certain it won't be open then, but the wife and I are considering PAPs this year).

 

[SplashMo]

I Love Ghiradelli chocolate sundaes!!! I hope they serve them!!!!

 

[Peanut Giggleface]

We love going to the Ghirardelli chocolate store and soda fountain when we're in Florida. This is the one thing I miss when we're at DLR. I'm sorry for you folks who like the free tortillas, but I'll take the free Ghirardelli!! I hope it will be open by September!!

Our Chevy's makes them fresh while you watch on a big machine. Also, I'm partial to La Tortilla Factory anyway. I know the owners and LOVE their tortillas.

And yes, you can get chocolate anywhere, but GOOD chocolate is hard to find. Don't get me started on Russels or Palmers!

 

[AustinTink]

Booooooo!! That makes me sad. My son loves to get an afternoon snack at the tortilla factory. Ghiradelli is everywhere now. And, I don't really care for their chocolate.

 

[nunzia]

..are you kidding? I need my free warm tortilla..

 

[nunzia]

Just going off what I read:




DLtodayDisneyland Today





Get your last tortilla sample Monday - DCA's Mission Tortilla Factory is reportedly closing to make way for Ghiradelli Chocolate Factory.

(copied from Twitter)

Oh gee..wait..ok..that would be fine then

Any town in Mexico?

Plus a small cheap Mexican restaraunt close to where I live, not to mention the grocery store closest to my house.

 

[disneydreamer74]

I am assuming that the chocolate shop will be designed like the one in DTD WDW. I would love that!! Those sundaes are to die for!!

 

[JH87]

Chocolate?!!?
YUM!
Isn't Ghirardelli based in San Francisco? Or that's one of the main places it first opened up? Something like that....
So it would fit in well over there by the Boudin place too

 

[CrazyDuck]

Good riddance! It was a waste of space anyways. Although I don't see why they need to open another factory tour, even though it is chocolate :YUM! The decalifornication continues! yay!

Any Chevys? Or the Mission district in SF.

Uh... Ghiradelli? totally an iconic Californian company. So... not so much with the decalifornication.

And while I'm ambivalent about the change myself, I will say one of out best moments in DCA this trip was when a teenager near us shouted to his friends, "look! The tortilla ride!" and went dashing off toward Mission.

 

[tdashgirl]

I heard this rumor too, but not believing it until it happens

I'll be kind of bummed if they replace it with chocolate. I'd rather get a tortilla than chocolate, and I'm a chocolate girl.

I'm so bummed that it is closing a week before my trip as I never checked it out my previous 2 trips! :sad

Our friend Al Lutz posted on the "other" site today that the entire Mission factory will be extended and refurbished into a replica of the San Francisco factory, complete with brick facade and neon "Ghiradelli" sign. There will be factory tours, a chocolate shoppe, and a soda shoppe.
