Ample Hills Creamery
If you’ve never enjoyed Ample Hills Creamery ice cream, you are missing out! This is our personal favorite ice cream on Disney property! The options are as unique as they are tasty. We’re still trying to choose a favorite but there are too many options to pick from. But no worries. It’s just the reason we need to keep visiting!
With over 18 flavors to choose from, milkshakes, and sundaes galore, you might even want to skip dinner altogether and indulge in one of these treats during your visit!

Flying Fish Restaurant
This exquisite option for seafood and American cuisine is the perfect spot for a special evening. Get dressed up and hit the town… or Disney’s BoardWalk in this case!
Flying Fish offers beautifully plated appetizers and main entrees that will delight your eyes and your taste buds. With elegant entrée options like the Angus Filet Mignon that is served with asparagus, sweet onion risotto, and truffle sauce, or the Potato-wrapped Red Snapper with Leek Fondue, in a Cassis-Red Wine Reduction, this special meal is a great place to celebrate a special occasion like an anniversary or an engagement!
If you want to splurge, the Tomahawk Rib-Eye for two served with pomme purée and heirloom tomatoes looks delightful. But it will set you back $150, so this option is not on our budget-friendly list. This one is definitely more for those special occasions.
