Apparently it's been carried over even though Carnatiion doesn't supply ice cream to Disneyland any longer. BUT I've never found it anywhere at WDW and miss it. Attempts to duplicate it at home have failed miserably. Thoughts of Fantasia ice cream are practically enough to get me on the road to California

That what I was told by a CM and a Security person at Disneyland... I've been going to Disneyland for since 1949 and this was the first time I didn't get to have it... :^(

In fact, I just got back yesterday from WDW & I will not admit to how many I had, but I can tell you my tummy is happy

Originally Posted By 1Gee1 ^^^I was wondering about that too! Yep...no more Fantasia at DL. It was my favorite!

Originally Posted By LuvDatDisney Seanyoda, I heard the exact same thing.

I always thought Fantasia ice cream was worth a trip just from Florida ... course, I also miss the great Welch's frozen grape juice bars we used to get in the Fla. MK ... and the orange ones too.
Originally Posted By Disneys Lady Awesome vbdad55... I got pictures of me there too when I was too young to remember, but I even loved it then too... One story is that I was in training pants, on my last pair, when my Mom told me, "if I wet them, we'll have to go home"... I stayed dry the rest of the day... LOL... I was a true Disney fan even back then... also, I was in a stroller and my Mom meant Walt Disney... he was changing a light buld so she went over to him and chated for a couple of minutes... my cousin took a picture, but he was so excited to see Walt Disney, that the camera shook and the picture came out kinda blurry, but you can still see that it was Walt Disney... :^)
