History
For the first five years of the park, this location was Puffin Bakery. In 1960, the location closed for a month and reopened as Sunkist Citrus House, where fruit juices and sandwiches were offered. In 1990 the Sunkist sponsorship ended and this location became Blue Ribbon Bakery. In 1997, the Carnation Ice Cream Parlor was reorganized into Carnation Cafe, and Blue Ribbon Bakery was moved into what had been the indoor portion of that restaurant. Gibson Girl Ice Cream Parlor opened at that time.
Until 2003, Gibson Girl Ice Cream Parlor was the only location in the world for Fantasia ice cream from Carnation (attempts to sell it at Walt Disney World had not succeeded). Citing the cost of producing the flavor for just Disneyland and limited demand, the flavor was discontinued in December 2004. At the same time, the ice cream served was switched from the Carnation brand to the Dreyer's brand (both owned by Nestle).
