Philly-style dessert shop coming to Downtown Disney
A new Philadelphia-style frozen dessert shop coming to Downtown Disney just in time for summer will tear a page from the playbook of Joe’s Italian Ice in hopes of drawing the same fanatical crowds as the nearby summertime hangout.
Happy Ice will open a new Philadelphia-style Italian water ice stand in late June next to the Downtown Disney Live Stage at the Anaheim outdoor shopping mall next to Disneyland.

Happy Ice was started by Philadelphia native Lemeir Mitchell as a Los Angeles-based food truck in 2017. Happy Ice now has brick-and-mortar dessert shops in Hollywood and Northridge. The Happy Ice food truck has been making regular stops at Downtown Disney since 2022.
Water ice traces its roots to South Philadelphia’s Italian neighborhoods as an adaptation of the traditional Sicilian dessert known as granita.
Happy Ice’s all-natural menu of Italian water ices made with real fruit and pure cane sugar will feature a lineup of rotating flavors.
The Downtown Disney cart will serve a specialty Joy-Lati made with Italian ice, sweet cream, fresh fruit and sauces.

The Joy-Lati sounds a lot like the Joe Latti served at the always-crowded Joe’s Italian Ice just a mile and half away from Downtown Disney on Harbor Boulevard.
