Hi, everyone, it's Midori from MMN's editorial team.   Many people travel to Tokyo DisneySea during the summer break, which is great for them as when the hot season rolls around so too does the park's deliciously refreshing desserts. Today, I will introduce 3 must-try desserts at Tokyo DisneySea for the sweltering weather this year♡

Mango Ice Cream: ¥300

If you head to American Waterfront in the park and go to Toyville Trolley Park you'll find a wagon out the front selling this mango ice cream. This is being held as part of the Duffy and Friends event "Duffy's Sunny Fun." The ice cream cup has an adorable illustration of Duffy wearing a swimsuit♡   This refreshing dessert is a mix of rich mango ice cream covered in mango sauce and cool shaved ice.

Sea Salt Ice Cream Wafer: ¥300

Another wagon can be found over in Mermaid Lagoon where they sea salt ice cream served inside a seashell wafer. The wafer is filled with slightly salty vanilla ice cream and a sweet and sour berry ice cream. You won't find an ice cream served like this anywhere else♡ What's more is that the ice cream inside doesn't melt quickly so you can enjoy walking around and eating it without worrying about it dripping everywhere.

Deep Sea (Pineapple Smoothie): ¥400

Finally, near the Nemo & Friends SeaRider attraction in Port Discovery, you can get your hands on a pineapple smoothie called Deep Sea which is served in a cup with clownfish on the side♡   The vivid blue jelly inside is the perfect match for Port Discovery. The jelly sits underneath pineapple flavoured smoothie, and inside the blue jelly are pieces of chewy yellow jelly for added textures.   If you're going to be waiting in line to get on one of the attractions why not keep yourself cool in the hot sun with one of these refreshing desserts? Have fun at Tokyo DisneySea!
