New Nacho Sundae at Ghirardelli in Disney Springs

New Nacho Sundae at Ghirardelli in 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 a Disney Springs.

The Nacho Sundae consists of cinnamon sugar pita chips, vanilla ice cream, hot fudge, diced almonds, and whipped cream with a cherry on top. You can see a video of what the ice cream sundae looks like in our Instagram.

Overall, the Nacho Sundae is a fantastic new menu item at the Ghirardelli Soda Fountain & Chocolate Shop. It sounds funny to admit that the cinnamon sugar pita chips reminded us of the Cinnamon Toast Crunch breakfast cereal. We used the chips to dip into the ice cream and fudge to enjoy a combination of flavors packed into one bite. The vanilla ice cream at Ghirardelli is always great quality, plus the hot fudge is decadent and pairs well with the toppings. This is definitely a refreshing dessert I would recommend for anyone looking to escape the summer heat!

The Nacho Sundae costs $14.50 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!

Magic Access members can reserve one day earlier, beginning on June 15 and reservations for other guests will begin at 12 p.m. Hong Kong time on June 16. Guests need to make a health declaration as part of their pre-arrival reservation process.

At reopening, the majority of Hong Kong Disneyland’s attractions, shopping and dining locations will resume operations, with controlled capacity. Guests can check the availability of attractions and entertainment through the resort’s official website and app.

Health and safety measures

The park will implement social distancing in queues, restaurants, attraction vehicles and other facilities throughout the park.

We all have an important role to play in promoting health and safety. As we do our part, we also ask our guests to do theirs, by wearing face masks, respecting social distancing and other guidelines.

The Magic Begins with You

Our cast members cannot wait to welcome guests back to the park. Guests will get a sneak peek of the magic in the making with the transformation of the Castle of Magical Dreams, a magnificent centerpiece of the park. The Castle now enters its final stage of transformation before opening later this year bringing new magic to Hong Kong Disneyland.

Magic Access members should visit the website for information about their membership and extensions. For more details on tickets, hotels, dining and transportation to the resort, please visit www.hongkongdisneyland.com.

The One And Only Ivan Based on The Bestselling Book to Premiere Exclusively On Disney+

The One And Only Ivan Based on The Bestselling Book to Premiere Exclusively On Disney+ One and Only Ivan

The Walt Disney Studios announced today that the heartwarming adventure “The One and Only Ivan,” an adaptation of the bestselling, award-winning book about one very special gorilla directed by Thea Sharrock, will premiere exclusively on Disney+ August 21, 2020.

The film, which was previously scheduled to be released theatrically by The Walt Disney Studios, is an unforgettable tale about the beauty of friendship, the power of visualization and the significance of the place one calls home. “The One and Only Ivan,” which comes to the screen in an impressive hybrid of live-action and CGI, is based on Katherine Applegate’s book, which won numerous awards upon its publication in 2013, including the Newbery Medal.

“The world has changed in a heartbeat. People all over the globe have shared important, life changing experiences in ways we have not seen for a century,” said Thea Sharrock. “In response to this, I am so happy that we can share Katherine Applegate’s delightful and original story, ‘The One and Only Ivan’ with the world this August on Disney+, bringing some joy through this unique movie of true friendship, inspired by a true story.”

The film features the voices of: Sam Rockwell as the gorilla Ivan; Angelina Jolie as Stella the elephant; Danny DeVito as Bob the dog; Helen Mirren as Snickers the poodle; Chaka Khan as Henrietta the chicken; Mike White as Frankie the seal; Brooklynn Prince as Ruby the baby elephant; Ron Funches as Murphy the rabbit; Phillipa Soo as Thelma the parrot; and stars Ramon Rodriguez, Ariana Greenblatt and Bryan Cranston. “The One and Only Ivan” is directed by Thea Sharrock from a screenplay by Mike White based on Applegate’s novel and is produced by the late Allison Shearmur, p.g.a., Angelina Jolie and Brigham Taylor, p.g.a. Sue Baden-Powell and Thea Sharrock serve as executive producers.

Ivan is a 400-pound silverback gorilla who shares a communal habitat in a suburban shopping mall with Stella the elephant and Bob the dog. He has few memories of the jungle where he was captured, but when a baby elephant named Ruby arrives, it touches something deep within him. Ruby is recently separated from her family in the wild, which causes him to question his life, where he comes from and where he ultimately wants to be.
