Hi there, Sophie! Welcome back to planDisney!
You and your Mum sound like two people after my own Disney-planning heart. My daughter's absolute favorite sweet treat at
Walt Disney World is a frozen banana from the ice cream carts around the parks, so we always have our eyes peeled (no pun intended) for this delicious dessert. We recently returned home from a visit to Disney Springs, and I'm more than happy to share our frozen finds!
While we have found frozen treat carts outside of Earl of Sandwich and World of Disney in
Disney Springs in the past, on our recent visit, we did not find any frozen bananas, and my daughter "settled" for a warm churro instead. But Hakuna Matata, Sophie! It means "no worries." The offerings at the snack carts can change from day to day, so I recommend asking the Cast Members at the ice cream carts if they have frozen bananas, even if you don't see it posted on the sign. You never know what magic you might find!
While my family has noticed that the frozen bananas are not offered at as many snack locations as they used to be, my daughter was still able to enjoy one from the ice cream cart near the
Finding Nemo show in Animal Kingdom, and we do still sometimes find them at the carts throughout the theme parks. Just keep your eyes ... you guessed it ... PEELED!
While you're exploring Disney Springs, you will find no shortage of incredible sweets and desserts to enjoy! If your Mum isn't into ice cream (or dairy) but is looking for a cold treat, I definitely suggest heading to
Swirls on the Water for some delicious DOLE Whip. The classic pineapple DOLE Whip is dairy-free, and I recommend asking the Cast Members about the other dairy-free fruity flavors. And if bananas are your Mum's jam, she has to try the Golden Gate Banana Split at
Ghirardelli Soda Fountain & Chocolate Shop. The hot fudge is absolutely scrumptious! Mmmm. Enjoy!
I hope this helps, Sophie, and I hope you and your Mum have the most magical and memorable time, full of fun and sweet treats! Please feel free to stop by any time with any questions you may have. You've got a friend in planDisney!
See ya real soon,
Mandy
