No, not yet. The article on Disney Parks Blog just provides the opening month as May.

As someone who checks in on June 1, sometime in May is close enough for me!

It's interesting that they don't list gelato al Fior di Latte as one of the ones available in a cup or cone.

This flavor is considered the benchmark for quality in a gelateria. Fior di Latte is the flavor of whipping cream, or "vanilla without the vanilla". One taste of it and you'll know whether they are using high quality ingredients. I like to ask for a spoon of it, always granted, to gauge whether I'm going to go for a lightly flavored gelato (like stracciatella) or something more densely flavored (like strawberry).

But then again, I'm a gelato snob...

Right there with you. Pistachio is a pretty useful benchmark too though I find. You can tell right away with that whether they are using natural or artificial flavoring (and the quality of the pistachio paste if it is indeed natural flavoring).

Since you can get it in a sundae, I'm 100% sure they will give it to you in a cup or cone if you ask.

excited for the Zeppole. They weren't serving it when we ate at Via Napoli in September.
