I generally prefer hard ice cream. The only ice cream I get at Disney World these days is a Mickey bar, and a twist soft serve cone from the Anandapur truck in Asia at AK. There used to be a good ice cream place on the Boardwalk but it closed.
Now I am longing for the good old days when the African Outpost in Epcot had the ice cream with Snickers pieces mixed in... I think that was soft server and was the best!!
Beaches and Cream have hard ice cream.
Their cookies and cream is very good.. big pieces of Oreos in every bite. Their flavors are vanilla, chocolate ,strawberry, mint choc.chip(my favorite), cookies &cream, butter pecan, rainbow sherbet and fat free choc./van. swirl. The Boardwalk had the best hard ice cream Ample Hills Creamery but unfortunately they closed up shop
