Best Place for Ice Cream?

[GhostHost999]

WOW...looks like I got on a topic you fine folks can really sink your teeth into. Thank you for all the great ideas. When I get back from the trip in July, I'll have to let you all know how it went.

Believe it or not, we stayed at All Star Sports and their ice cream was very good. I was surprised. On the other hand, you cannot beat Ghiradelli's, it's so good.

Beaches & Cream at the Beach Club Resort.

We like the hot fudge sundae from Mrs Pott's Cupboard better than Ghiradellis. I didn't like the ice cream at DTD.

If you love chocolate ice cream, get a waffle cone at the counter outside of France by the water front. Very good and different from great places already mentioned.

Ghirardelli's hands down. The vanilla ice cream with the warm melted peanut butter,wow!! DS likes the choclate covered mickey ears at all the ice cream stands

[Belster]

I am going to have to vote for Main Stree Ice Cream Parlor. I love the location...so much fun to get your treat and enjoy an outside table...second the ice cream is great. It is your regular good quality ice cream none of the fluffy stuff. If you like fluffy then Ghiridelli(spelling) is very good too!

Our family is one of the few that is not that impressed with Ghirardelli's. We really have enjoyed Beaches and Cream, we love the Mickey bars from the ice cream stands, We like The Fountain at the Dolphin and we always get something at the Plaza Ice Cream parlor.

That pretty much sums up my experience. We were there in Oct and the line in Ghiradellis was small (about 4 people) ... it STILL took nearly 20 mnutes to get a chocolate malt.

But wasn't it worth the wait??

[PAYROLL PRINCESS]

Definitely Beaches & Cream, a Dole Whip float @ Aloha Isle. And off property, the shakes at the Steak & Shake up the road from Crossroads.

Ghirardelli's hands down. The vanilla ice cream with the warm melted peanut butter,wow!!

Sounds delicious! I didn't even know you could get warm melted peanut butter at Ghiardelli's, and I love it on vanilla ice cream. Is this part of a particular sundae (if so, which one?) or do you just order the ice cream with the sauce?

[AdventurerKim]

Another vote here for Ghiardelli's! We never miss it! In the parks, we always go to the Main Street Ice Cream Parlor for sundaes! Yum!

[joonyer]

We love Ghirardelli's also. My family always goes to DTD on the last morning of our WDW trips, before we hit the highway headed home. And we always get a big Ghirardelli's sundae for lunch!
A great way to start off an otherwise depressing trip back home to the real world.

Beaches and Cream is good, but I'm partial to soft-serve. We've never been to Mrs. Potts Cupboard but I do really like what we've had from Auntie Gravity's. I tend to think that the two locations are probably pretty similar.
