\"Best<\/a><\/p>\n

This weekend is Memorial Day weekend and while it is a time to reflect on the memory of those who served our country, it has also become the unofficial kick off of summer.<\/p>\n

With summertime fun on the horizon, comes the craving for something sweet, creamy, cold, and delicious.\u00a0 I’m talking about ice cream!\u00a0 Of course, there’s a ton of places to get ice cream at Walt Disney World.\u00a0 Just look around you!\u00a0 There’s likely somewhere fantastic that serves up this delicious treat.<\/p>\n

So, where should you go?\u00a0 I’ll name the best places in each park, plus a few additional options, so that the next time you’re craving something sweet, you’ll know immediately where to go!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Magic Kingdom<\/h2>\n

\"Ice<\/a><\/p>\n

While there are lots of great places for ice cream at the Magic Kingdom, like Sleepy Hollow or The Plaza Restaurant, the best of the best has to go to The Plaza Ice Cream Parlor.\u00a0 They offer amazing delights, such as the All-American (with peanut butter and chocolate sauce); the ice cream cookie sandwich, filled with your choice of ice cream in between two chocolate chip cookies; and the all new, Mickey Kitchen Sink Sundae, which is ice cream served in an adorable take-home souvenir \u201csink\u201d in the shape of Mickey\u2019s red pants, and is absolutely and must share dessert.\u00a0 The choices of ice cream are vast here, they have quite a few no-sugar added and fat free options, not to mention Tofutti and Rice Dream too.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Epcot<\/h2>\n

\"L'Artisan<\/a><\/p>\n

Here, there is no contest on where you need to go if you want ice cream and that is L’Artisan des Glaces!\u00a0 What makes this ice cream and sorbet shop found in the France Pavilion at Epcot so unique is that their 16 different flavors are made in-house and you can choose to have your ice cream with the addition of either Grand Marnier orange liqueur, Epic Whipped Cream Vodka or Clement VSOP Rum.\u00a0 Hello?\u00a0 How awesome is that?!\u00a0 They also have some incredibly specialized flavor offerings, such as Profiterole, Caramel fleur de sel, and Coconut White Chocolate.\u00a0 Plus, they have some unique creations too, like the Chocolate Macaroon Ice Cream Sandwich and the warm brioche ice cream sandwich called Croque Glace.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Disney’s Hollywood Studios<\/h2>\n

\"50s<\/a><\/p>\n

While many people stop at Hollywood Scoops to get ice cream, since it is right there on Hollywood Blvd, near Tower of Terror and Rock n’ Roller Coaster, my choice for the best ice cream options go to 50’s Prime Time Cafe.\u00a0 While you do have to have a reservation to dine here (or if you can sidle up to the bar, you’ll be able to grab this treat too) it is totally worth a stop!\u00a0 You see, this restaurant serves up a little lover that I think you are going to enjoy.\u00a0 It’s called the Peanut Butter and Jelly milkshake and it is just that.\u00a0 Peanut butter and jelly mixed together with milk and ice cream in a wonderful delight!\u00a0 (I may have a peanut butter problem….)\u00a0 If you don’t care for peanut butter, they also serve up other yummy shakes or you can also choose to grab a malt here!\u00a0 It’s like you’ve gone back in time. (Cue Huey Lewis and the News…Back to the Future…please tell me someone got that….)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Disney’s Animal Kingdom<\/h2>\n

Disney’s Animal Kingdom is certainly a place where you need ice cream!\u00a0 It’s always so gosh darn hot!\u00a0 If you’re looking for a cool treat as a break from the heat, look no further than Safari Ice Cream.\u00a0 They not only offer hand scooped cones, but they also offer the delightful cookie ice cream sandwich!\u00a0 It’s a little booth, but it packs a powerful punch!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Resorts<\/h2>\n

\"No<\/a><\/p>\n

Looking for ice cream at one of the resorts, look no further than Beaches and Cream.\u00a0 Honestly, did you think I was going anywhere else?\u00a0 This soda shop themed restaurant has a counter for ice cream to go, and recently, they added my favorite treat…the No Way Jose to the line up. They also offer other delights inside, like the Fudge Mud Slide and the infamous Kitchen Sink.\u00a0 Whether you choose to sit inside or take your treat with you on the go from the to-go window, there are plenty of great ice cream options to choose from.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Downtown Disney<\/h2>\n

Ghiradelli is the most incredible ice cream shop.\u00a0 There are a ton of options to choose from that suit any person’s ice cream wish.\u00a0 Want something that’s a chocoholics fantasy, they’ve got it in the Midnight Reverie; would rather have something with Brownies, try\u00a0The Treasure Island; they also have The Cable Car, which is a Rocky Road sundae.\u00a0 There are tons of choices and all of them are incredible!\u00a0 The hard part is figuring out which one to pick!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Honorable Mention<\/h2>\n

\"Mickey<\/a><\/p>\n

I have two honorable mentions.\u00a0 The first is any ice cream treat from one of the many carts you can find around the Disney parks.\u00a0 My favorite is the Mickey Bar, but you also can’t go wrong with the Mickey Ice Cream Sandwich.\u00a0 The other mention would be a Dole Whip, but a Dole Whip itself isn’t technically ice cream.\u00a0 No, instead, to include it in this list, I would mix it with the vanilla soft serve that they have!\u00a0 Voila!\u00a0 A great ice cream treat!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So there you have it.\u00a0 The wonderful ice cream treats that you should try on your next trip to Disney World…especially when you’re looking for an opportunity to beat the heat…who am I kidding…anytime is the right time for ice cream!<\/p>\n

Do I have it right?\u00a0 What place did I not include that you think should be included?\u00a0 Let me know that too!<\/p>\n
