For ice cream?

For ice cream?

Ghirardelli. That may mean ice cream, chocolate, hot cocoa, shakes, sundaes….

FWIW, the gate in-between Starbucks and World of Disney was not open in the morning, afternoon, evening, or night.

I actually get iced coffee from there… with some chocolate in it.

!!! It’s hard to find good (sweet) iced coffee at DCA, though there’s been a good Oreo themed coffee at Pym’s lately.

I always say I want to go here but I very rarely end up going. I think I've only been there once over all these years. What's your favorite thing to get?

My wife always settles on us splitting the World Famous Sundae.

You gotta save room and make the time.

My son has a peanut allergy so I'm not sure if he can have anything from there or not. He actually never liked ice cream until the last couple months (now he likes plain vanilla) so it wasn't a big issue if my husband and I eat something ourselves but I never want him to just sit there while we enjoy a treat. Last time we did grab ice cream from Clarabelle's on Buena Vista street and took it back to our room. It had barely even melted since it was such a short distance to VGC!

The one at Pyms is the only one I haven’t tried!!
I’m not much for sweet coffee so I usually just get it from the coffee stand by the bridge.

*edit*
I think I need to start a new thread for ice coffee locations. lol

Yes! Honestly I just always default to Starbucks and that’s no fun!

 

[Duckbug.Ducktales]

I don't drink coffee. More money for DVC add-ons!

Truth. It adds up so quick.

Does anyone know if you can modify a multi experience pass?

NM you can modify the return time

That's us too. When we were there in June, we stopped by Starbucks at DTD on our way to the hotel for our break almost every day. It was so convenient.

How are crowds and weather? My BIL is there right now for his son's first visit. I'm hoping it's decent, for their sake!

I looked at the crowds around 11AM at DL and it wasn’t pretty, IIRC BTMRR was around an hour and Indiana Jones was at 70m. Haunted Mansion was on VQ. It looks slightly better now—I think I may be spoiled by the near empty parks in China that I visited last month.

 

[ClaraOswald]

I think it's a 3-day weekend for some people so that's probably why it's crowded.

Pretty busy today at obb turnover. Dl line past the monorail and dtd was busy!

FYI. Two vgc contracts down to 230. Sept and aug use year.
