Best Thick Shake in WDW

[mlittig]

Thanks for making my mouth water Nice and thick is exactly how I love my shakes

Well, the shakes in 50's P/T are ridiculously thick. You really do need that spoon!! And they are really tasty....a must do for us each and every trip.

Ditto. Our family agrees wholeheartedly.

I have experienced the shakes from 50s PT, WCC, Ghirardelli (DTD), and Plaza. I found the Plaza to be one of the better ones and Ghirardelli to have the rick chocolate flavor. Many appear to be from dispensing machine where Ghirardelli is more like Steak N Shake hand dipped-real ice cream shakes.

Our experience at Ghiradelli's, SciFi Dine Inn and the Plaza is that it totally depends on who makes the shake. We've had nice thick ones and thin runny ones at all of those places. I agree with the poster who said the amount of milk used makes a difference.

Don't get the ones at WCC. They are the thin runny kind.

Don't let it sit on the table for 30 minutes before drinking it ( I'm only kidding).

Actually, I enjoy the shakes at WCC, ours was nice and thick. I also like the shakes at 50's Prime Time and of course Beaches and Cream.

We LOVE the peanut butter & jelly shake from 50's! (We've even tried to make it at home, but their shake is so much better!) The bottomless strawberry shake at Whispering Canyon Cafe was also super delicious. The day of our meal, they had strawberry, chocolate, vanilla, cherry, bubble gum, and another flavor (which I can't seem to remember exactly, but it may have been cotton candy). Enjoy your trip!

Here is a weird one - I HATE milk but really like thick shakes. You know the ones that taste like and have the consistency of ice cream. Kind of like McDonalds ones.

Where on property will I get the best one??

As mentioned 50's P/T. Beaches and Cream just outside EPCOT at the Beach Club is very good also.

You haven't tried to tackle the "Kitchen Sink" (with friends) have you?

Whispering Canyon, endless milkshakes for 6.39, a doable. I just told the server, on the thick side..................and she kept coming back every 10 minutes asking me if I wanted another...........After 3 or 4, I was full but she made me one more, a roadie, to go!!

Try this. Take equal parts smooth peanut butter and grape jelly (maybe a heaping tablespoon each) and stir together. Use several scoops of Edy's Vanilla Bean ice cream (pretty sure that's what they use at 50's PT), and as much milk as you like depending on desired thickness. Personally I wouldn't use more than 1/4-1/3 cup. Also add a tsp of vanilla extract. Blend it all together, and see if it comes out closer.

You caught me! (or us!!)

We made the 50's PT shakes with this recipe

http://allears.net/din/recipes/rec_pbj.htm

and they were excellent!!

WCC also has good shakes. They have a "flavor of the day" plus the standard flavors. I had a caramel once (that was a flavor of the day) and a vanilla one. Both were yummy! I tried my dd's chocolate shake and that was good too.

We need a Ghiradelli aficionado to come on this thread and school us all.

50's Pt is our fav. too!

 

[perdidobay]

My wife loves the pb/jelly shakes at 50's Primetime.

Yes, it is most excellent!
