Happy Ice Opens Permanent Cart in Downtown Disney

Opening on Juneteenth marks the first permanent Black‑owned dessert location in the Downtown Disney District.

Overview

  • The Happy Ice cart officially opened in Downtown Disney on June 19, 2026, with founder Lemeir Mitchell leading a ribbon‑cutting ceremony attended by family and guests.
  • The cart is located near Parkside Market on the west side of the district and will operate daily from 11:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m.
  • This Downtown Disney outlet debuts Happy Ice’s first fully all‑natural Philadelphia water‑ice menu made with real fruit and pure cane sugar and introduces a layered dessert called the JOY‑LATI.
  • Published prices start at $8.50 for kids cups, $10 for regular, $12 for large and $13.95 for Joy‑Lati, with add‑ons such as condensed milk or chamoy for $2 and ice cream for $3.
  • Happy Ice began as a 2017 Los Angeles food truck and its permanent Downtown Disney cart both formalizes the brand’s parkside presence and gives a visible foothold for Black‑owned small business in the resort district.
