Gideon's offers a virtual queue when the line gets long (which it almost always is!) You go to the shop and a cast member outside will have a QR code to join.
Gideon's and Starbucks opens before the rest of Disney Springs between 9am and 10am. There are no buses from Disney resorts that early, so the only way to get there is to drive and park in the garage as soon as it opens, between 8:30 and 9 if I recall correctly. If you get there that early, Gideon's will only have a short line.
Alternately, if you have a car, you can go to Gideon's main location at
3201 Corrine Dr
They rarely have much of a line!

Thanks! I guess that I am just resigned that I will never get a Gideon's cookie. I'm not going to wait an hour or drive an hour (there and back) just to get a cookie.
I'm sure they are great. I'll just get an extra dole whip or rice cream.

Because Gideon's.
If I could afford it, I'd fly across country to stand in line for their cookies.
Heck, if I could afford it, I'd buy a house there just to be near the place to buy their cookies.

Not worth your time unless you catch a very short line. There’s no special magic to these cookies.
The store is cool and creepy if you get a chance to see it.
The cookies look impressive and enticing, but taste meh at best. We bought three, tried a bit of each kind and threw 90% in the trash.
I can’t explain it — maybe it’s people who’ve never had a great homemade cookie?

Luckily I've never had a long wait. The first time I was there was a Wednesday, I think, and we stopped by to check the wait times and it was only 10 minutes around 11:30AM. The second time was also in the middle of the week. The first time we walked by the wait was 45 minutes and I was like nope, we'll come back later after lunch. The next time we walked by around 2ish, the wait was down to 15-20 minutes.
Their cake slices are much better than the cookies!

Agreed! I think it is a stretch to call these “cookies”. If you have to put cookies (Oreos) on/in your “cookies”, is it even a cookie after all?
