- Disney reiterates the shop’s roots, confirming a 1997 opening at Disney Springs and a candy‑apple tradition at Walt Disney World dating to the early 1970s.
- The Evil Queen–inspired candy apple is presented as the top seller during Halloween and a year‑round favorite in new local reporting.
- The dungeon‑themed storefront features a live show kitchen where guests watch cast members dip, swirl, and decorate apples behind the glass.
- Veteran confectioner Joanne Torres, with more than three decades at Walt Disney World, has trained new makers including her son Pedro Sarraga, who later advanced into merchandise leadership roles.
- Outlets differ on Sarraga’s start date and separately report, with limited independent corroboration, that he received a Walt Disney Legacy Award.
