It’s Disney Week and I have a tasty treat that just about everyone loves when they visit Disney World {and Disney Land too}: the Dole Whip! This delicious soft serve pineapple flavored dessert is the perfect refreshing treat on a hot day at the parks and is only available in a few select locations.
You can find Dole Whip and Dole Whip Floats here:
- Disney’s Polynesian Resort at Pineapple Lanai, the pool refreshment stand, offers Dole Whip and Dole Whip Floats!
- Adventureland in Magic Kingdom Park at Disney World. Aloha Isle offers Dole Whip in pineapple, orange, vanilla or swirled.
- Animal Kingdom’s Tamu Tamu in Africa carries delicious African food and Dole Whip soft serve.
- The Tiki Juice Bar at Disneyland Park serves Dole Whip, fresh pineapple spears, pineapple juice and floats made with Dole Whip.
I knew I had to make our favorite Disney frosty treat this summer at home for my girls.
It was surprisingly easy to make and only requires 2 ingredients! Even better it is dairy free, just as delicious as the original, and has no added sugar!
I fell in LOVE with the Polynesian Resort during my visit! The lobby alone is stunning but the pools, villas, even the landscaping make you feel as if you are really in the tropics!
Another delicious Disney food : Tonga Toast, banana stuffed cinnamon crusted giant French Toast.
Available at the Polynesian Resort. Try the quick service version at Captain Cook’s for half the price!
