Fans of Ample Hills Creamery will have to find a new way to enjoy their delicious flavors as the two locations at Walt Disney World will not be opening or reopening.
What’s Happening:
- After Ample Hills Creamery filed for bankruptcy this past spring, some fans wondered if that would affect the company’s new location planned for Disney Springs. It turns out the answer is yes, and the ice cream eatery won’t be opening at the Walt Disney World entertainment district after all.
- Attractions Magazine posted an article confirming that Ample Hills will not be coming to Disney Springs.
- The media company noted that Disney’s website said the Ample Hills location at Disney’s BoardWalk was listed as “Temporarily Unavailable” and the Disney Springs status still read “Coming Soon.” This prompted them to reach out to Ample Hills asking if both locations would be operating at Disney.
- A spokesperson for the company stated that Ample Hills would not be returning to BoardWalk, nor would they be opening at Disney Springs.

What They’re Saying:
