We finally found them!
The DFB team has been on the lookout for the Mickey Premium Ice Cream Bars in our grocery stores at home ever since we found out about them. At last, we found our first box in a Tampa, FL-area Publix!
Mickey Ice Cream Bars at Home
We were lucky enough to grab the second-to last box of Mickey Ice Cream Bars on the shelf for $7.99. Now the big question, are these as good at home as they are in the park?
After celebrating the fact we finally found these, it was time to open the box and try these out!

These bars are noticeably smaller than the in-park version of the bars — which we were OK with since we are at home…and calories count at home, unlike on a Disney vacation! The in-park bars are 4 oz. each, with the at-home bars being 3 oz. each.

Other than the size difference these bars look and taste the same to us. The chocolate coating is a nice, crunchy milk chocolate. The ice cream is creamy and vanilla-y. Together they make a sweet snack or end to a meal. These will be a really nice at-home indulgence and reminder of our trips to the parks.
Mickey Ice Cream Bars at Home
The at-home version of the Mickey Ice Cream Bars are made with light ice cream, offering half the fat and third fewer calories than the in-park, full fat Mickey Ice Cream Bars. We didn’t notice a difference in taste between the low fat ice cream in the at-home version versus the all the calories and fat in-park version.

We would really like to see these stick around longer than the “limited time” we’ll have to enjoy these. Guess that means time to clean out the freezer to make room for our stash of Mickey Bars!

These look so good! Now i just need them to start selling those Olaf frozen strawberry/lemonade bars. Those are my favorite (besides citrus swirl) when i want something’s cold and refreshing in the parks! 😀
Just tried my Publix tonight (Marietta, GA) and they’re not here yet ?
Where in Tampa?!?
Enjoyed them a lot looking to get mire
Is it possible to get a pic of the allergy info on these??? I can’t quite see it under the ingredients. We’re all good with the park bars, but sometimes manufacturing changes that.
Sheena, I took a closer look at the label, and the allergens listed are milk and soy. If you need to know the full list of ingredients, let me know with a comment here, and I’ll get them for you!
Sarah,
Yippeeeee, we’re all good to eat them! Thanks so much for the info. Super helpful!
Now, to try and find them in Oklahoma. ??♀️
Not here in the Midwest yet(Michigan) that I can find:( Please hurry:)
Now if only they would bring the ice cream sandwiches to stores! I’m not a fan of chocolate coating on my ice cream, so I don’t care for the premium bars. They sure do look cute, though!
Sheena, yea! Enjoy (when you find them!)!
Found them in Kroger in Kentucky. Not quite as rich as in the park but when eaten in the middle of a snowstorm they bring good memories.
I got the second-to-last box last week (1/18/19) at a Ralph’s in Southern California for $7.49. I don’t notice much of a difference in taste, but I do like how hard the bars are in the parks. So fun to have them at home for a treat, especially with the way park prices have gone up this year! 😉
Is there a list of which stores carry them? Haven’t seen them in MD yet
This is a lovely thing, but living in the UK I still have zero chance of getting any – ah well, at least they will remain a special treat for us as the only place we can get them is a Disney park.
I do love the idea of Disney starting to sell the special treats outside of the parks, but then I wonder how “special” they will remain if one can buy them in places other than that. For example, I LOVE corn dogs with a passion, but that is something that had never caught on in the UK, so to me, having a corn dog in America was a really special treat. However, last year a major supermarket here started selling “Party Corn Dogs” which are no more that 2 bites big, taste the same as they do in the USA, and are readily available all year round. I bought some to keep in the freezer, but now I don’t think of them as a treat so much any more.
Stacey, we haven’t compiled a list yet, but I’ve seen comments from folks who’ve found them at various Publix and Kroger stores as far north as Kentucky. But we’re keeping our eyes peeled for other reader feedback!
If anyone finds these in MA please post. I really need one.
Score!! I just found them at the Publix in Celebration, FL.
Laura, victory is yours!
I’ve been looking in all the stores that are near me (Safeway, Fred Meyer, QFC and Haggen) and not of the stores in the Seattle area have them. Is there a list somewhere of what stores will carry them. I even checked at Target.
Thanks,
Cindy
Cindy, we haven’t seen a list yet, but it’s a good idea! I’ll mention it to AJ!
Will be in some local stores in Louisiana in mid February.
Are they in North Carolina yet?
Angela, I have seen via Kroger’s page for the bars that they are available in NC, but you’ll want to call the store you’re planning to shop at to see if they have them.
Just found a lot at target here in central CA.
Which stores will it be available in Louisiana?? I need to know
I was excited to find them at a Kroger in the Cincinnati area. They taste like the ones at Disney, but out of the box of 6 only one was in perfect condition. Three had the chocolate cracked in multiple areas and two bars that were quite smashed on the sides. I hope it was just a fluke.
Found them at Mundelein IL Target today! May or may not have gasped out loud…
Very dissapointed with these, thinner chocolate less creamy light ice cream and 25%smaller
Oh the memories of always having to have our Nestle Mickey’s Premium Ice Cream Bar daily every afternoon in every Disney park, East and West Coast are always fond ones. The anticipating of waiting for it to soften enough to take that first ear off, then passing it to my Wife for Her to take off the other ear can seem so long. Sharing one of our favorite treats and people watch as we do, guarantees a moment in time that we will always cherish. The Premium Bar refrigerator magnet and Wrappers (love the artwork) from Bars long gone, always inspire us to take the long journeys and leave reality behind and enjoy the Magic that only Disney can provide. Provided we can find these in the stores, the experience would not be quite the same, but we would welcome them.
There is no way you can say that there is no difference between these bars. Because they use light cream, that will alter the taste. Just like whole milk is different from skim milk. It ok that they are not as good as the real ones. These bars just remind me of the many magically moments I’ve had at Disney parks and cruises.
I am obsessed with these throw some ears on and watch a few ride POV’s and it’s almost like I’m there
We buy the Mickey Bars at Publix. When we started buying them, the size was a bit larger and the ice cream was silky and flavorful. The last box we bought was a week ago and they were smaller and the vanilla ice cream was pretty tasteless. The chocolate was exactly the same. I can deal with the smaller size (at the same price by the way), but what made them special was the flavorful, creamy ice cream. The chocolate may be the same, but they’re now the same as every other bar out there. Boring ice cream. So sad. So disappointing.
