Plaza Ice Cream Parlor — Restaurant in Bay Lake

🍦The Ice Cream is Dreamy, but the Atmosphere makes the Experience🍦

Fun, festive music; nostalgic, era-style decorum; delicious waffle cone aromas; bustling chatter... Plaza Ice Cream Parlor sits square on the corner of Main Street in full view of the Disney World Castle, where so much magic happens. It's a must-stop every time I visit the park--a great note on which to end a memorable day. (Don't forget a selfie with your ice cream--and friends/family!)

Plaza Ice Cream Parlor allows plenty of customization options. I like to get two flavors combined in a bowl with hot fudge, whipped cream, and (of course) a cherry on top. Because it's Disney, every ice cream comes with two adorably placed chocolate wafer "Mickey Ears" on top of the roundest scoop. Eat quick before the Florida heat melts away the next bite!

I've yet to try all of the flavors, but the Mint Chocolate Chip is among the best I've savored--creamy, sweet, and rounded out with a fresh, minty kick to...

Located on Main street this shop had a line out the door and down the block for most of the day. It's 90 plus degrees out, of course people are going to want ice cream. Finally at the end of the day the line became manageable enough for us to get in and grab a treat. This shop is sponsored by Edy's ice cream. You can get Edy's all day long in the grocery store so nothing too special about that. I was expecting the ice cream to be up a notch since it is Disney. What is special is they are going to stick two chocolate circles into your cone so that when they give it to your scoop is going to look like a Mickey Mouse. My daughter and I chose the ice cream sandwiched between two chocolate chip cookies. She picked the cookies and cream and I picked my favorite chocolate chip mint. It was good but way too much for us. Sharing one would have been the ideal way to go. The dole whip float still remains my favorite frozen...

So my girlfriend and I were at Magic Kindgom riding rides until the very end, and on our way out we wanted to get some ice cream. So we hop in line and hope it doesn't take too long. It's an impressively long line. But it moves surprisingly fast and we get our treat in no time.

We ordered the Brownie Sundae (warm Brownie served with Hot Fudge, Whipped Cream Cherry and your choice of two hand-scoops of Ice Cream) with a scoop of vanilla and a scoop of cookies 'n' cream. It was so good. Four stars good. Ice cream is ice cream, we all know that, but the brownie you want to be ooey and gooey, and it was.

Basically, if you want ice cream while you're at the Magic Kingdom, I was pretty happy with this place. The price wasn't even too bad, which is surprising for Disney....
