Bur-r-r Bank

C’mon, who in the world hates ice cream?! If you don’t have any dietary restrictions, consider yourself lucky because Bur-​r-​r Bank is a double-​scoop of the good stuff.
Ice cream can make adults feel like children, and children can’t help but feel happy when in the presence of this great confection.
The fact that the Imagineers at Disneyland came up with a nice setting for an ice cream parlor (inside an old railcar near the entrance) and to have it in sunny Southern California (on the California Adventure side and named after a city in the Los Angeles area), where ice cream during the day (or warm nights) is almost always welcomed – it’s definitely a recipe for success.
I personally make a stop here each time I visit the park. If I’m with a group of people, getting and enjoying ice cream in this nice setting is so inspiring and welcomed for me that I will just about buy everyone present a cone in order to have others share in my happiness.
I don’t typically splurge when getting ice cream, but I do when I’m here and when it’s hot. I get a large, dipped waffle cone with sprinkles and mint chip and chocolate ice cream. That’s my usual. There’ve been many times I’ve gone where the air conditioning inside the parlor really helps prep your body for more ice cream coldness by cooling you off from the hot weather outside during the summer months.
Considering it’s an amusement park, the bang-​for-​buck ratio here at Bur-​r-​r Bank is actually not that bad. (The deal is made even sweeter if you have an annual pass discount). If you’re a regular to the park, what’s the rush? Enjoy the ice cream indoors or in the shade outside. Prolong that youthful reminiscing – it’s the visitor from out of town who’s on a tight schedule.

This place is gone now, but I sure did love this place!
Great ice cream!

GOD! THIS PLACE DOES WONDERS WHEN IT IS HOT AND WHEN YOU HAVE BEEN STANDING ALL DAY LONG!
After a day of walking around and riding as much rides as we could get in, We could not do anymore without a sugar high! Before the amazing World of Color show, we got some sweet, scrumptious, ice cream. I had the double scoop mint chocolate chip and chocolate chip in a chocolate dipped with peanuts cone. I shared this. I did not devour it myself (what do you think of me?!) =P Soooooo satisfying!!! Loved the cooling sensation in your mouth from the mint chocolate chip ice cream. The cone was delicious! I always need some nuts on my cone and they did it just right! I hope one day, when you are all beat down from the blistering sun and tired of the crowd… you can escape into the ice cold BURRRRR BANK euphoria!
–Give it a try!
P. S.: it is expensive for ice cream but HELLO! It is DISNEYLAND. EXPECT IT!

I got a tip that you can get the same sundaes here in DCA that they have at Gibson Girl on Main St. USA. The sundaes just have different names. I love that they put cookies in their ice cream sundaes. I docked a star because you can’t use your annual pass discount here.

Two scoops of the cookie swirl on a waffle cone dipped in chocolate and chopped nuts… you will NOT be disappointed. Tastes just like a drumstick =)

Not worth the money for ice cream. Spend your money getting ice cream on those mickey mouse ice cream sandwiches.

Yummy for sure but overkill for me. Remember, everything at Disneyland is expensive… so that said… this is a reasonably priced dessert place. I just can’t hang with that much ice cream. One scoop and you should be good!

I always like to get the Chocolate Chip Sundae. Pure ice cream deliciousness.
A really good place to hit up in CA if it is hot outside. The line does get kind of epic sometimes and the wait might be a little long.
I like getting my ice cream sit outside, eat it, and people watch at the same time.

I love ice cream and I love Disneyland. But Bur-​r-​r Bank’s ice cream to me is just OK. Everything at the park is expensive, so the ice cream is therefore, expensive. I expect that.
I ordered the Chocolate Fudge Sundae with 2 chocolate chip cookies and I have to say, I was a little disappointed. The 2 chocolate chip cookies were hard– does anyone else hate biting into a hard cookie? I love when cookies melt in your mouth and this just didn’t do it for me. Also, there was just way too much whipped cream. You have to keep on digging down into that cup if you want to reach the ice cream.
The service is good! But the quality really could be better for the price I pay.

As much as I loved my visits to Disneyland and California Adventure, I found one downer. This place.
When its hot out, and you’ve been walking around all day– sometimes, a little ice cream sundae can help pick you up. I’m sure this place could have done just that. But not when you’re standing in line and all you want to do is just get behind that counter and help them out.
The system just doesn’t work. You’ve got one cashier taking orders for one long maze of a line. You’ve got two people making the sundaes or scooping the ice cream, while four to five people stand around waiting for the orders to pass out. What is wrong with this picture? The line waiting for your order looks just as bad as the line on the other side.
I ordered the chocolate chip sundae. It was good, I will admit that. But not really worth the wait. When I finally got my sundae, me and my bf just devoured and moved our way outta there. No pics =(

So good! This place was near the entrance which was better… we instantly went here as soon as we saw it. It was a HOT day and it was just what we needed. The line was short and there is a seating area right outside.
The Mocha Sundae was sooooo good. Their portions are pretty big, even for a single scoop.

It’s a hot night, my feet are killing me, I’m hungry. I’ve ridden California Screaming roller coaster 5 times, and the kids are completely overheated.
Then just up ahead, what appears to be a cool stainless steel train is right in front of us. All lit up in neon, doors open revealing ICE CREAM! Yippee! We’re saved! There was only one person on line in front of us (it was almost 10:00 in the California Park) and we jumped right in.
Cookies and cream in the snazzy sprinkle cones was just the ticket to a perfect ending for our family. The place was clean, the staff still smiling & perky right at the closing time — and the cones were delish.

Good, but not as good as Gibson Girl, but the line is a LOT shorter!

The weekend my friend and I decided to hit up California Adventure was a sizzling day that reached upwards in the 90’s. It happened to be my birthday present. It was hard to feel happy at this time, when all I could focus on was the feeling of fat droplets of sweat rollling down my back. Gross.
But what wasn’t gross, and really quite sweet, refreshing and cool, was Bur-​r-​r bank, the ice cream parlor in the park. We decided to get a sundae, the I-​Scream sundae.
(I have to say, what I love about Disneyland is that my whole skew on money changes. $ 3 for a churro? OKAY! $ 2.79 for a water bottle? WHY NOT? $ 6 for a hotdog and chips? WOW CHEAP!!!)
Okay back to my story. For a souvenir cup, it was $ 7.99 (NO F’IN WAY will I pay that), but in a waffle cone, it was ONLY $ 5.79 (it’s so inexpensive! Actually, I went into Baskin Robbins the other day, and their sundaes sold for around $ 6). It came with two scoops of chocolate ice cream, one scoop of chocolate chip ice cream, brownie strips all in a delicately crisp and sweet waffle cone, and finally decadently topped off with hot fudge, caramel, a mountain of white, wispy whipped cream, chocolate shavings and of course, a cherry on top. It was all in this ginormous clear plastic cup, so you could see the layers of ice cream, fudge, and sticky-​sweet caramel swirling around the thick bars of moist brownie. Ohhhhh baby. It was good, let me tell you.
Bad thing was, we had to fork over more money to get ourselves some water after the diabetes-​induced treat. Boo.
