I agree, in fact I think it was deliberate.

Agreed. There is no way they are that obtuse. It's likely been painted since the tower came down.

That was my thought as soon as I saw it.

Nostalgia. Fits the Boardwalk theme.

Maybe they could have included the BAH and the SSE wand for some real nostalgia

In this case, however - they offer a unique product Disney can't offer on its own. Edy's is great and all, but we can all get it at our local grocery store, and I believe that's all Disney serves anyplace with scooped ice cream.
I actually think this is great - especially because it's not like they are bringing in a chain like Cold Stone Creamery or Ben and Jerry's - this is a truly small, family run business with a great product.

Agreed. It helps that Boardwalk is a popular place for the Disney corporate suite and VIPs, so there may have been some self-interest involved.

Nostalgia is not quite the same as not wanting to admit something happened in the past.

Really?!! YEA!!!
(I arrive at WDW on May 15th! Staying at the Swan, so that will be convenient. )

That still surprises me, that there's no exclusivity arrangement with Nestle regarding ice cream served across the resort. In fact, same sort of thing with the Joffrey's coffee kiosks coexisting with Starbucks (and Nescafe). I guess it follows the same pattern as Coke and Pepsi historically coexisting with each other at the parks.

Yep. And it's yummy! Their fresh-made cones are to-die-for (I've had them in NYC and these look identical; reviews suggest the same; I'll have an actual taste in 4 days!).

And doesn't the story go that this location came to be by Iger enjoying Ample Hills somewhere or meeting up with the owners? And then working a deal to bring it to WDW. It's amazing what can happen when an exec takes a personal interest in something. Things can actually get done.

Oh gosh, I hope they keep the soft open late into the night. I want to have time to stop by this evening after an event.

It's a special preview event from 12-3pm. Im on an airplane headed to Orlando now from AZ (work trip). Kids and wife got there earlier today and are there now. Said it was fantastic. I'll get some pics up once they send them.
Here is our invite
Actually- just use this link for inside pics- saves me uploading.

I simply cannot believe they are not carrying Salted Crack Caramel. It is the best ice cream I have ever tasted!
