This sounds positively delicious.

That sounds fantastic! Really great ice cream is pretty hard to come by on property. If this is true it will be a welcomed addition in my opinion. The name ample hills makes me chuckle though.

Ooooh, nice!

For some reason, I first read that as "Ample Hills Cemetery." Just as well - ice cream will be the death of me! LOL.

I didn't know they were behind the Star Wars ice cream flavors, but Ample Hills Creamery is excellent and would easily offer the highest quality product of any WDW ice cream vendor. Way better than Edy's or Mickey bars - no doubt.

So this is what's replacing my beloved Seashore Sweets...Good ol' Disney. Why run a shop on your own dime, when you can have someone else run it and foot the bill.

Funny how Bob Iger's name is attached to it.

didn't they have Hershey ice cream there? You can get Hershey ice cream almost anywhere in the Eastern half of the US.

It's so sad that some people just can't enjoy good news.

Edy's

I know.

This is WONDERFUL news. And to be fair, this is replacing an old, redundant arcade.

Since they do Star Wars themed ice cream they should setup a M&G with this guy.

It was Edy's (which I believe is the "official brand" of Disney, could be wrong though). But my problem isn't with loosing the ice cream (if it was, I would be happy with just eating ice cream at home from Publix). No, I am upset because this location was special to me. People always praise Beaches and Cream as the best Epcot resort location for ice cream, but for me it was Seashore Sweets. The location was small but beautiful. Very unique and the cast was always SUPER friendly.

Besides, where else on Disney property can you get a sundae that looks like this for the same price as a normal sundae (Plus, merchandise discount for CMs )?

I'm sure this budding couple puts out some amazing ice cream, but I shudder to think what the price will end up being if they open at Boardwalk. Better ingredients = more expensive. Which I guess works out well for Disney.

While causing the closure of another beautiful location...

We usually stay at the Boardwalk every year. I always thought that the Beach Club and Beaches n Cream were better places to get sweets. So this sounds good to me - can't wait to try it.

The place was a ghost town when I was there. It was all pre-packaged stuff they sold in the parks with a few chocolate treats in the glass cabinet. This is a welcomed addition to me!! I can't wait!!! It sounds fantastic! I love that its from NY too

It will be operated by Disney.

But the opening of a new one. Given the high level of aesthetics in everything Disney have done in the past few years I have every confidence that the new location will be beautiful. I sympathize with you though, it really stinks when a favorite spot closes or changes!

You don't know how this place will look. But I understand nostalgia. At least the product will be tastier.

Yeah, and he gets free ice cream for life and 1/3 ownership of the company.

Bob will probably have Elsa freeze the ice cream with R2D2 serving it. You know, that you got a make the hay when the suns up.
