When the Southern California sun starts turning up the heat, there’s no better excuse to indulge in one (or several!) of Disneyland Resort’s incredible frozen treats. From legendary DOLE Whips and Mickey Premium Ice Cream Bars to over-the-top sundaes and refreshing slushies, there are plenty of delicious ways to stay cool while exploring the parks.

If you’re a fan of Disney classics, you can never go wrong with a Mickey Premium Ice Cream Bar or Mickey Ice Cream Sandwich from one of the many snack carts throughout Disneyland. Main Street’s Gibson Girl Ice Cream Parlor remains a must-visit for hand-scooped ice cream, while The Golden Horseshoe serves up its fan-favorite Cookie Butter Churro Sundae that’s practically worth a trip to Frontierland all by itself. Over at Disney California Adventure, Flo’s V8 Cafe continues to serve its nostalgic milkshakes, and Ghirardelli Soda Fountain in San Fransokyo Square is packed with decadent hot fudge sundaes and frozen chocolate treats.
Looking for something a little more refreshing? Disneyland has no shortage of icy drinks to help beat the heat. The Tropical Hideaway remains home to the iconic DOLE Whip, available in pineapple, strawberry, and peach flavors, while Bengal Barbecue offers tropical slushies with everything from passion fruit and lychee to Thai tea. Over in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, guests can cool off with the frozen Black Caf Slushy or choose between Blue Milk and Pink Milk at the Milk Stand. Pixar Pier’s Adorable Snowman Frosted Treats also continues to be one of the resort’s best stops for colorful non-dairy soft serve and frozen parfaits.
Coffee lovers aren’t left out of the fun either. Across both parks you’ll find unique cold brews like the Cookies & Cream Cold Brew at Pym Test Kitchen, the Tiramisù Nitro Cold Brew at Maurice’s Treats, and the Mud Cake Cold Brew near Fantasyland Theatre. Meanwhile, refreshing favorites like the Mint Julep Float in New Orleans Square and the Picnic Time Watermelon Lemonade in Mickey’s Toontown offer plenty of non-coffee options to keep everyone cool. Whether you’re park hopping or spending the day in your favorite land, there’s a frozen treat waiting around nearly every corner.
