One of America’s Best Ice Cream Shops Expands to Downtown Disney

Ice cream summer

Ice cream fans can cool off this summer thanks to Salt & Straw, the Portland dessert import that has made massive inroads into Los Angeles. They’re opening inside Downtown Disney in Anaheim, which means long park lines for the company’s ever-rotating cast of flavors.

The addition of Salt & Straw to Disney’s lineup means the company is likely planning to move heavily into Orange County. Meanwhile Disney is rotating through a whole new cast of dining options itself, adding new beer options and movie pizza to the mix. Expect an opening later this year.
