Photos: Gibson Girl Ice Cream Parlor Remains Open While Exterior Facade Work Takes Place

As you’re walking right down the middle of Main Street U.S.A. at Disneyland Park, guests will now notice that the northwestern block of the street is partially covered in scrim and scaffolding. 

It appears that exterior work is taking place on the walls of the Carnation Cafe, though the restaurant itself remains open for guests to enjoy, save for maybe the exterior seating. 

Also shadowed within the space is the exterior of Gibson Girl Ice Cream Parlor. Tucked behind some of the work, this favorite snack stop is still open for guests to get their ice cream, though the windows are mostly covered. 

Another area of the restaurant might be getting brand new windows altogether. Some of this space of the Gibson Girl Ice Cream Parlor is traditionally adorned with menus and more seating, though at the time of our visit today, that was non-apparent. 

What was apparent, especially during the morning hours, was the amount of work taking place in guest view on the exterior of the building. At this time, we have no end date for the refurbishment work, or for when the scaffolding and scrims will come down.

Gibson Girl Ice Cream Parlor is the old-fashion ice cream parlor where park guests will find nostalgic sundaes, dressed up with freshly baked waffle cones, cups, or cookies. The location also serves up classics like ice cream floats, hand scooped cups, and cones. 

Currently, though work is taking place throughout the day, the location remains open. Be sure to check the Disneyland App for more accurate times when visiting the park.
