We had just spent a few hours on the Star Tours, Indiana Jones, It's a Small World, and Roger Rabbit rides on a warm, summer day. Mickey's Soundsational Parade was about to start and we were hot and thirsty so we ducked into the Carnation Café, which is one of the few restaurants in the park that offers table service. We originally planned to grab take-out ice cream next door at the Gibson Girl Ice Cream Parlor, but the line there was ridiculously long.
After a short wait, we were seated inside the café having opted for air conditioning instead of good outdoor seats to view the parade. My husband ordered a chocolate milk shake and I ordered a chocolate malt. We originally met while we both worked at an ice cream parlor so we are familiar with ice cream drinks. Not only were the malt/shakes delicious, but the portions were large since they also give you the blender cup. I estimate that my malt was 24 ounces total. This cool, creamy drink along with a glass of iced water really hit the spot!
Daughter #1 had a chocolate shake and Daughter #2 had a vanilla shake and S'Mores in a Mason Jar ($5). Unfortunately, she didn't care for the S'Mores because the layers of flavored marshmallow were way too sweet. The drinks were only $4.99 each so I was pleasantly surprised when I received the bill.
After finishing our snack, we went outside to watch the parade feeling cool and refreshed.
