Who doesn't love ice cream with a thick and creamy hot fudge and caramel sauce? (If that's you, I don't need to know!) There are a few "must-go" places when I am at my Saratoga Springs Disney "home" and this is one of them. Always sweet, always delicious and always worth the line-around-the-block wait! My favorite is a build-your-own sundae and my hubby loves the frozen hot chocolate. Both are 10/10 at the end of a hot, muggy Florida night walking and shop at the Springs. The new location is in the "bougie" section of the neighborhood, more convenient but smaller, and with a great view of the actual springs. Love in a cup!

We stopped by Ghirardelli at Disney Springs planning to treat ourselves to some ice cream…read more Unfortunately, once we saw the prices, we had to walk right back out. We were honestly in sticker shock. Spending around $20 for an ice cream dessert was more than we could justify. I understand you're paying Disney prices, but this felt excessive. I'm sure the ice cream is delicious, but for us, the value just wasn't there. We decided to spend our money elsewhere and found other dessert options that fit our budget much better. If price isn't a concern, this may be worth a visit. But if you're looking for a reasonably priced sweet treat, I'd recommend exploring some of the other choices around Disney Springs instead. I just couldn't stomach that price unfortunately so we had to leave.

Great quality ice cream and gelato with cup, cone, macron, or brioche(!) options. It is interesting to order and then say it again when you go up to the counter when your number is called. Line moves quickly so it's not a big deal as far as the flow is concerned.

L'Artisan des Glaces is in the France Pavilion at Epcot. It's sort of hidden in the back of the France Pavilion. It's a ice cream kiosk! You'll find a rotating selection of house made ice creams and sorbets, up to 16 different flavors. Some of the standout frozen treats include the macaron ice cream sandwich and the croque glace (warm brioche bun pressed around a scoop of ice cream and topped with sauce). When I stopped inside the restaurant, the wait time wasn't too long. It was approximately 15 minutes. I've always wanted to try out the chocolate macaron ice cream sandwich. It was pretty small though, but the flavor was amazing! I did end up taking the macaron ice cream sandwich over to the single rider line for Remy's! Because this dessert shop is in the World Showcase at Epcot, this is a great spot to break while walking around the different pavilions. Seating is limited, but if you walk a little bit near the Disney's Beauty and the Beast Sing-A-Long, there are some more benches that you can sit at. This is one of the better sweet shops in Epcot!

My favorite thing here are the Twirls, their take on a Blizzard. Soft serve vanilla ice cream blended with your choice of ingredients. I usually get the child size (12 oz), which is just enough for a sweet treat for one, blended with cookie dough! Hubby loves the Butterfinger one. We usually go through the drive-thru, and it's always fairly fast and efficient. Although this location is sometimes staffed with indifferent teenagers, they provide good service (if not the most attentive). There are a few outdoor tables, but we usually just park and sit in the car. There's a huge, free parking lot at the adjacent Winn Dixie grocery store, which makes for good people watching at night. This location is open late, which makes it a great stop after leaving Disney for the day. Everybody can use a little sweet treat after a long day, and Twistee Treat is one of my favorites in Orlando.

As a childless (local) couple, we like to split the Rubin. We keep the fries but also order a side of tots. Then we get a chocolate ice cream Sunday, with Carmel and almonds (it's not in the menu-just ask & trust me) It's never soggy. Has great flavor. It's quite large and this fills us both bit never leaves up totally uncomfortably stuffed. It's fun for families, if you go for a birthday or order a kitchen sink it's fun to get recognized and called out. Join in the fun by yelling "the whole can" when someone orders a kitchen sink. It's part of the experience. Yes you can change the toppings if you want or don't want something or have an allergy. Just a heads up, all the surfaces are hard and the kitchen is open so it does get quite loud. It's almost never not loud. Just know that going in

We were staying at the Yacht Club, and it was only a few minutes walk to get here. You walk out to the lobby, go outside towards the pool, and curve around the building until you get here in just a matter of minutes. There's a line at the door to get seated, and there's another line at the window to get to-go. We ordered the classic banana split and the No Way Jose. If we had known they were going to be so huge, we probably would've ordered less. The No Way Jose was chocolate and vanilla ice cream smothered in peanut butter and hot fudge topped with peanut butter and chocolate bits and whipped cream. We got the classic banana split with vanilla, strawberry, and butter pecan, and it was topped with pineapple, strawberry, and marshmallow, hot fudge, caramel, toasted almonds, and whipped cream. Our two toddlers went nuts. The three year old knew the drill and went at it. The almost two year old, who is seldom allowed ice cream, didn't know where to begin. In the sweltering Florida summer heat, our family of 4 demolished these two behemoths as quickly as possible before it turned into a soupy mess. We would definitely come back if we stayed in the area.

Thing to note: This is one of the few places in America where you get a bang for your buck! The portions are absolutely humongous. We ordered a sampler so we can try all the seasonal flavors + two classic Dole whip floats. I am used to teeny portions for high prices, but a sampler was probably enough for all four of us. Not complaining because a win is a win! The lake side dining, live music, and volcano eruption views from Rainforest Cafe made the whole experience more fun.

On a hot sunny day we decided to try out a unique flavor of lime/watermelon and it was divine. The line was approximately a 10 minute wait and also a few more minutes wait for the soft serve swirl to be handed to me. The combination of flavors was truly one of a kind and yet refreshing. It was not overly sweet nor bitter and it made my palate happy to consume such a yummy treat. The kiosk space is small, it had about 4 employees working hard to make sure every patron received their treat within a matter of minutes. I sat by a table under an umbrella to hide from the sun, before it melted my treat to non-existence. This flavor combination is delicious and should be everywhere.

The line moved at a steady pace and CMs did their best to fill orders as quickly as possible. Overall, a good first experience at Boardwalk Ice Cream. Boardwalk Ice Cream is located along the boardwalk of Crescent Lake at the Boardwalk Inn and Villas resort. The menu boasts many different types of sundaes, milkshakes, and more. The establishment itself doesn't have tables and chairs to eat inside, however, there are several places to sit down outside, on the actual boardwalk. Our order consisted of three sundaes * Surf's Up Sundae * Strawberry Splash Shortcake Sundae * Bayside Brownie A La Mode Sundae All three sundaes were crafted well with tasty ice cream and toppings that lived up their names. The Strawberry Splash Shortcake was my favorite. The large chunks of strawberry shortcake left this sundae unparalleled. Pricing was also fair and the CM building our order did so with care, precision, a smile. Our first visit to Boardwalk Ice Cream was a success. We would definitely return in the future and would highly recommend this spot to anyone frequenting the Boardwalk.
