A tiny Brooklyn based ice-cream shop that is taking the ice-cream world by storm might just be heading to Walt Disney World.
If you haven't heard the story, 2015 was a big year for the husband and wife team that created the Ample Hills Creamery in 2011.
Bob Iger himself became a big fan of their ice cream, and became a mentor and advisor. Leveraging that relationship, Ample Hills secured a license to produce a Star Wars Ice Cream, in two varieties - the Dark Side (an ultra-dark chocolate ice cream with espresso fudge brownies, cocoa crispies, and white chocolate pearls to represent the light still hiding in the dark, waiting to burst through) and Light Side (a bright marshmallow ice cream with homemade crispie clusters, as well as a smattering of handmade cocoa crispies to represent the dark side still lurking within the light).
With all that success and the Bob Iger connection, we've heard strong speculation that a new ice cream store being built on Disney's BoardWalk to replace Seashore Sweets will feature Ample Hills Creamery products.
Ample Hills Creamery ice cream is made by hand, using grass fed cows milk with organic cane sugar, and even the mix-ins are made in-house from scratch - very much like a bakery. The new BoardWalk ice cream offering should mark a considerable upgrade from what was served at the old Seashore Sweets.
The new ice cream store is being built in the space that was previously the ESPN Club arcade, next-door to the BoardWalk Bakery. Disney has not yet made any announcements, and so this should be treated as speculation until confirmed.
