Ghirardelli Gold Rush Caramel Sundae at Disney Springs

Ghirardelli

There’s an incredible new ice cream sundae at Disney Springs! If you’re seeking a cool dessert, then consider visiting Ghirardelli Soda Fountain & Chocolate for a great day at Disney Springs.

The Gold Rush Caramel Sundae consists of vanilla ice cream, sea salt, diced almonds, caramel sauce, and whipped cream with a Ghirardelli Squares White Chocolate Caramel.

We’re trying a new dessert at Disney Springs. “Gold Rush Caramel Sundae” – Vanilla ice cream, sea salt, diced almonds, caramel sauce, and whipped cream with a Ghirardelli Squares White Chocolate Caramel. You can find it at Ghirardelli Soda Fountain & Chocolate Shop! . .  @disneyworldavenger . #ghirardelli #disneysprings #icecream #waltdisneyworld #disneyworld

Overall, the Gold Rush Caramel Sundae is a fantastic new menu item at the Ghirardelli Soda Fountain & Chocolate Shop. The vanilla ice cream at Ghirardelli is always great quality, plus the caramel sauce is decadent and pairs well with the toppings. Despite being a chocolate-lover, I enjoyed the caramel and vanilla flavors. The white chocolate caramel square adds to the sundae with its rich and creamy flavor. This is definitely a refreshing dessert I would recommend for anyone looking to escape the summer heat!

The Fools Gold Caramel Sundae costs $13.75 plus tax. The ice cream sundae is big enough to share, but you might just eat the whole thing once you taste it! Next time you visit Ghirardelli at Disney Springs, consider trying this sweet treat. We’re sure you’ll love it as much as we did!

NEWS: Guests With General Admission Tickets for Shanghai Disneyland May Now Make Advanced Reservations to Visit the Park

Shanghai Disneyland reopened to guests on May 11th. In order to limit guest capacity as part of the new health and safety measures, guests have been required to purchase dated admission tickets ahead of their visit to enter the park while Annual Passholders have been required to make a reservation.

To this point, previously purchased General Admission tickets have not been accepted. However, an update to the Disneyland Shanghai website advises guests that — starting today, June 1st, guests with General Admission tickets will be able to make a reservation to visit the park for the dates of June 3rd through June 7th.

The website also instructs guests on how to make a reservation with a list of One-Day General Admission Ticket Advanced Reservation Procedures and Requirements. Though as of today, June 1st, reservations are only available for the dates of June 3rd through June 7th, reservations will continue to become available on a six-day reservation calendar basis.

The instructions state that: “From 13:00, June 2, reservations for park visits on June 8 will be available to guests. From 13:00 every day starting June 3, we will open a six-day reservation calendar. Guests cannot make a reservation for a visit on the same date as the reservation. The reservation system will be updated at 13:00 each day, with a limited daily quota.”

Guests should also be advised that ‘the validity period of a One-Day General Admission Ticket will be extended for the number of lost days falling between the park’s closure date of January 25, 2020 and the end of the “Advanced Reservation Period.” ‘

Interested guests can learn more by visiting the Shanghai Disneyland Resort website.

It’s also worth mentioning that — while we await further details — Walt Disney World Resort plans to implement a theme park reservation system when Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom reopen to guests on July 11th, followed by EPCOT and Disney’s Hollywood Studios on July 15th. You can read more about the reopening of Walt Disney World Resort by visiting any of the links below.

New Disney World Discount for Guests that Booked Free Dining

Disney recently began canceling all Walt Disney World dining reservations, FastPass+ reservations, experience reservations, and Disney Dining Plans through the end of 2020. Guests who had booked their vacation package with a Free Dining Plan are receiving emails informing them of a new discount available to them.

A portion of the email reads:

“We will be modifying your package to remove the dining plan. As an accommodation, the price of the package will be adjusted to reflect a 35% savings on the room portion. This modified package and price will be provided in a new confirmation. You will receive a refund of the difference in the package price if you have already paid in full or a reduction in amount due if you have not yet made final payment.

There’s nothing you need to do at this time. We will be contacting you shortly with more details about the process to secure new reservations, including our new dining and experience reservation window which will accommodate selections up to 60 days prior to arrival to allow for planning closer to your visit.

At this time, while systems update, we are temporarily suspending all modifications. However, you have the option of canceling your entire reservation at any time.”

All of the cancelations are due to new capacity limits Disney World will be putting in place when the parks reopen next month.
