Uh, you remember the cows in Home On The Range...?

Won't be long

Apparently I’m the sucker they’re marketing to because I want the Up one. Also will eat the hei hei one but only because it sounds delicious.

PS I realize there’s no easy Up tie in at MK, but Galactic Goodies seems like an odd location for the Up ice cream. Seems like Main Street would be better but maybe the Spirit of Adventure is Tomorrowland in a retro sort of way.

Regardless, I’m getting one. My 4 year old has decided mango is her new favorite ice cream flavor.

I guess I'm feeling grumpy this morning. My first thought was "I wonder what they'll charge for THEM?" But truthfully, the Lost Princess one does appeal to me.

I am SO SICK of Instagram culture. How about we make food with inventive flavor profiles and merely looking appetizing is enough? And no more randomly painted walls?

This obsession with making food look like something else without any regard for flavor has got to stop. As do the pictures with your nasty facial expression while you hold said food in front of said wall. We are devolving.

Come on dude.

I hate "Instagram culture" as much as you do, but it just doesn't apply in this case. Instagram came out in 2010. Disney has been selling Mickey shaped food, Snow White "poison" candy apples, and countless other novelty treats for decades. Not everything is about "flavor profile," sometimes it's just fun to munch on an ice cream bar shaped like a cartoon mouse's head, especially for children.

Then why is it 24-year old girls buying this crap?

Nice job by the photographer of having the girls all hold their cones towards the camera and then using a wide-angle lens to make the cones appear much larger.

This is Disney! They’re going to make things that look fun and appeal to children and people who love Disney characters. How is this different from a Cheshire Tail or even a Mickey bar? I remember when I was a child, my parents taking pictures in certain spots and with certain treats in Disneyland, and that was 30+ years ago. People haven’t changed. Just technology.

I don’t have Instagram. But if Disney gets free marketing out of people posting their own photos, of course they're going to use that if they can. I fail to see how someone snapping a photo in front of the Popsicle wall is any different than someone snapping a picture in front of the castle. It doesn't affect anyone else's vacation. (Unless they are obnoxiously standing in the way or something, of course.)

I also fail to see how this "flavor profile" is a problem. (Pineapple, raspberry, mango, and lemon are all tasty, the additions of candy are minimal.) Are you expecting artisinal Apple Cider Sorbet, Sweet Corn Gelato, or Orange Blossom Honey Ice Cream? (All part of desserts from the F&G Epcot tents, BTW.) How is that less hipster or instagram culture?

Have you seen the food in the Disneylands in Asia? They are amazingly themed and I feel like we are getting jypped. Most of the foods there are themed.
