Disneyland’s Downtown Disney has gone through some SERIOUS changes. We’ve seen restaurants and shops close, while new restaurants and shops have opened. Even Marceline’s Confectionery went away to make way for The Wonderful World of Sweets (and honestly, we LOVE the new sweets shop).
We recently passed on the news about a new snack stand coming to Downtown Disney, called Happy Ice. Well, BIG news…Happy Ice is opening sooner than you may think…as in TOMORROW.
That’s right, Happy Ice will be opening its Downtown Disney cart tomorrow, June 19th, which is also Juneteenth. Happy Ice was founded by Lemeir Mitchell and is a Los Angeles Black-owned Philadelphia Italian ice brand known for its fruity flavors and frozen desserts. Happy Ice’s opening in Downtown Disney will mark the first permanent Black-owned dessert company in the shopping and dining district.
To celebrate its grand opening, the first 50 people who order at Happy Ice will get a FREE Happy Ice T-Shirt, while the next 50 will get a FREE Happy Ice tote bag. The cart opens at 11 A.M. and will stay open until 11 P.M. So head on over to Downtown Disney early to grab a delicious treat AND some freebies! Here’s a first look at the cart in Downtown Disney:
You’ll be able to enjoy Happy Ice’s first all-natural menu, with treats made with real fruit, pure cane sugar, and premium ingredients. You’ll also be able to order the JOY-LATI layered dessert with Italian ice, vanilla sweet cream, sauces, and fresh fruit with flavors like banana pudding and strawberry shortcake. We’re already drooling!
We’ll be checking out Happy Ice on its opening day, so stay tuned to DFB for more details and a full review!
