Disneyland Paris Resort is scaling back operations at two of its Main Street, U.S.A. ice cream spots, with one location headed toward an indefinite closure by the end of September.

Starting September 7, both The Gibson Girl Ice Cream Parlour and The Ice Cream Company at Disneyland Park (Paris) will shift to weekend-only operations. The two dining locations, both situated along Main Street, U.S.A., have operated on a fuller summer schedule up through September 6, giving European Disney Park guests one final stretch to enjoy their usual hours before the cutback begins.

One Parlor Closes for Good — For Now

The reduced schedule marks the beginning of the end for The Ice Cream Company, which is set to close indefinitely on September 28 after several weeks of weekend-only service. The Gibson Girl Ice Cream Parlour, meanwhile, will stay open through October, though it remains unclear whether it will continue on a weekends-only basis or return to a full weekly schedule.

🍦 From Sept 7, The Gibson Girl Ice Cream Parlour and The Ice Cream Company will only open on weekends.

Disneyland Paris Resort hasn’t provided an official reason for The Ice Cream Company’s indefinite closure. However, the timing lines up with the seasonal shift toward cooler temperatures in France, suggesting the park may be anticipating lower demand for frozen treats as autumn approaches.
