Overview
- A Notice of Commencement filed this month lists a new tenant build-out at 1600 E. Buena Vista Dr., Suite C-22, the former Art of Shaving space.
- Walt Disney World is named as property owner on the permit, with The First Raven LLC, tied to Gideon’s founder Steve Lewis, listed as the client.
- Visitors reported gothic-style window art featuring birds, a crown, and a sword, plus a door sign reading “Please Pardon Our Appearance. Something New is Coming Soon.”
- The designs echo Gideon’s aesthetic but omit the bakery’s logo, prompting speculation about a related yet distinct concept without confirming one.
- Neither Disney nor Gideon’s has announced the project, though the interest follows persistent lines and virtual queues at the existing Disney Springs bakery.
