I don’t know what it is about it, but ice cream tastes better in Magic Kingdom, and I’m not mad about that. It just means every time I see the castle, I want ice cream either in a bowl, cone, or shaped like Mickey Mouse.

We headed to the Plaza Ice Cream Parlor on Main Street, U.S.A., to check out some menu items to see if you need to add this stop to your Magic Kingdom day. Spoiler alert: if you’re an ice cream lover, the answer is YES!
