Disney Guests love stepping into the magic, but long wait times seem not so magical. Check out what virtual queue quoted Guests an 11 HOUR wait time this morning at Walt Disney World.
Gideons’ Bakehouse
Recently Disney Springs has received quite a bit of buzz around the soft opening of Gideon’s Bakehouse. Guests were overjoyed to enjoy the amazingly decadent sweets and treats that only Gideon’s can create. Check out an overview of their menu HERE.
The soft opening proved to be a great success, but as the New Year has begun Gideon’s Bakehouse remains closed. Disney Guests were waiting to learn when this delightful Bakehouse would be reopening.
Grand Opening
This week Gideon’s Bakehouse announced their Grand Opening would be this morning, January 16, 2021. In honor of this grand celebration, Gideon’s Bakehouse shared on their Instagram Page a few additional sweet treats that would be available:

Unbelievable Wait Times
Gideon’s Bakehouse shared that Guests were invited to sign-up in person for a virtual queue. Guests could then enjoy Disney Springs until they were to return. What Guests did not expect were the wait times in this virtual queue.
As Gideon’s Bakehouse was to open today at 10:00am, Guests were already forming a line to be placed in a virtual queue. At first we heard reports that a return time was given at 5 hours. We questioned who would wait for 5 hours for a cookie?
The Virtual queue was finally closed off less than an hour after Gideon’s bakehouse opened. The final queue was given an 11 hour return time.
Later around 10:40am, the virtual queue was closed. Guests were told that their return time would be close to 11 HOURS. I enjoy a nice warm cookie just as much as the next Disney Guest, but 11 hours seems a bit extreme.
What do you think of this wait time? Would you try to enter the virtual queue for this Grand Opening? Have you enjoyed Gideon’s Bakehouse cookies before? Do you think it is truly worth the wait? Share your thoughts with us on our Facebook Page.
