Mickey Mouse Ice Cream Bars

Everyone knows the iconic Mickey Mouse from Walt Disney Co. but who knew he would be the number one theme park food seller nationwide? Found only in Disneyworld Theme Parks around the world, the Mickey Mouse ice cream bars are a huge favorite amongst all ages.

This iconic trend started out in the 80's in the first Disney Land amusement park in California. It ended up becoming so popular that the high demand caused it to be sold in all Disney Parks that opened all around the world.

The ice cream bar couldnt be any simpler. It is a vanilla ice cream with a hard chocolate shell on a stick. Simple as that. but the shape of it is what made it popular in the parks. Especially on a hot summers day in California or Florida, what can be better than a nice ice cream bar to cool you down?

The ice cream bar used to be sold in all kinds of stores nationwide but unfortunately can only be found now in the parks. I guess its a way to bring more guests in each day. The bar's popularity continues to boom and even became replicated throughout amusement park history. For example, head a couple miles down Disney in Orlando and you can find a similar ice cream bar shaped as the iconic orca whale Shamu from Sea World.

All though there are many like it out there, no one could ever beat the flavor, trademark shape, and the history behind this best selling treat. Head down to Disney and get your hands (and mouth) on this tastey delight!
