News Salt and Straw ice cream is coming to Disney Springs

It doesn't?

I said most people can't tell a difference, although I suppose I really meant that the difference is so small that most people don't care, along with the fact that in some cases there is literally no difference at all.

My point was that most people are only concerned with the overall quality when choosing because they're so similar. I'm not sure I've ever met someone who said they wanted ice cream and then was upset if they got gelato instead, or vice versa. Of course there are always exceptions, but there aren't many people that would rather have, say, Breyers ice cream over high quality gelato, or cheap low quality gelato over high quality ice cream.

It's nice to have numerous options at Disney Springs to spread out crowds.

You do realise not all of us live in the US?

Over here there is definitely a difference between ice cream and gelato. In fact many Italian restaurants have both on the menu, because they are different.

Just because “most people” can’t tell the difference doesn’t mean there isn’t a difference. Some people refer to Dole Whips as ice cream too, which is just as incorrect as saying gelato is the same as ice cream.

And it seems you’ve just contradicted yourself with the final sentence of this post, when earlier you said you couldn’t understand why people would rather go to one than the other.

I can understand going here if you want some of the unique flavors, but considering Vivoli il Gelato is right there in Disney Springs... hard for me to imagine why anyone would go anywhere else for ice cream/gelato. It's a step above anything else offered there.

I'm in total agreement. Their black cherry amaretto gelato is the bomb.

Meh, this place is overrated. Disney could have added much better Ice Cream and Donut places.

What flavors did you get?

We got 5 different Classic flavors and shared them. It was okay, but nothing I'd write home about. I must have different standards though, because I grew up near a ice cream stand, which is on a farm in New Hampshire.

Tried a $7 scoop of the guava whatever flavor and it was mediocre. Doubt I’ll give it a second try.

They do offer free samples - they have some pretty great flavors that are all over the map. It’s also worth noting that the cheapest option at Plaza Ice Cream is $6.79.
