Dole Whip

[parker1877]

I have been reading alot about this "dole whip". I have never seen one, or heard of it until these boards.
Can someone tell a little more about it and maybe post a picture.

I am going in 2 weeks and want to know what to look for.

Is it a snack credit?

[Mickeys_n_me]

You can find it at a stand in adventure land in MK ( I am sure someone will post the exact name of the stand - I just can't think of it ATM)
Basically it is like soft served ice cream except it is pineapple flavor. You can also get it as a float with pineapple juice.
Honestly imo, I am not sure why everyone hypes this up. Yeah it is okay but I wouldn't drudge across the park to get one.

Dole Whips can be found in Adventureland, just past the bridge from the Hub, at a stand called Aloha Isle.

I love the pineapple soft-serve variety myself, but you can also get the pineapple soft-serve mixed with vanilla soft-serve. And the ultimate pineapple lover's treat is a dole-whip float, which is pineapple soft-serve floating in pineapple juice.

They are a mighty tasty treat on a hot day and make for a nice break.

[jimmiej]

As you walk through Adventureland from the hub, it will be on your right. Dole whips are yummy!

[MINNIE OF TWO MICE]

I am not much on snacking but I love the Dole Whip floats. DS and I usually share one. You can also get just the ice cream portion at the Polynesian Resort just not the float. If you like pineapple...you will enjoy.

Can you get Dole Whips at Captain Cooks at the Poly as well?

According to Tikiman, who knows everything there is to know about Polynesian, Captain Cook's does now serve Dole Whips, but I have not personally gotten one there.

<--------- DROOLING :cloud9:

[LaDolce]

Me, too! These are my absolute favorite WDW treat. I've even got my girls hooked - we all get at least one (or maybe two ;) ) each trip. It's one of those Disney things you just have to try at least once. I'm getting excited just thinking about having one again in a few months ... :banana:

[ggeorgiagirl]

OOOHHHH yehhhhh.....the picture is FABULOUS!

EVERYONE must try the float!

and yes...I will drag my entire family across the park to get one!

[SueM in MN]

They used to also have a real yummy frozen orange juice and soft serve combo at the snack bar just to right of the Tiki Room. The orange juice was frozen to a soft serve type consistency and swirled with vanilla soft serve. It was called a Citrus Swirl.
I say used to have because that's what it used to be. They kept the name, but replaced it with vanilla soft serve swirled with orange flavored soft swirl (sort of like soft serve orange sherbit). It is good (well, it's OK), but nowhere near as good as the old Citrus Swirl.

I've never had a Dole Whip because I am allergic to pineapple, but in many years of watching my MIL eat them, I think they are different now than they used to be . Now they are a pineapple flavored soft serve ice cream. I think they used to be more like the old Citrus Swirl. (I'm sure someone will post to confirm or deny).

[don8life]

Dole Whip Floats are a must have.

23 days before I'm having one!:cool1:

[gerv6687]

They are so amazing!

[TMB1203]

I love Dole Whips!
My sister who is not a big fan of pineapple even liked these.

This will be one of my first stops in 17 days:cool1:

[onehotdisneymama]

A trip to the MK is not complete until we pick up a Dole Whip Float. Oh! How yummy.......:goodvibes Try one I bet you won't be disappointed. Good luck with your trip.:wizard:

[kimsuenew]

I can't wait to try these! :goodvibes

[disneyfanforlife]

I have never had one. What flavers are there?

[EPCOTDUDE]

My favorite is the Pineapple Vanilla swirl

[PittypatBR]

The Dole Whip Floats are my favorite - so refreshing, especially when it is really warm. It is the best use of a snack credit for me! :dance3:

I also found this nutri info from the distributor:
It ranges from 80-90 Calories/ 1/2 cup. Has under 3 grams of fat (ps the fruit flavors only have only 0.5 grams of fat!!--it's the vanilla and chocolate that have 2.5 g) and 0 cholestrol. It can be marketed as Low fat, cholesterol free, gluten free, and lactose free (for any of those out there with those allergies rejoice!)

This goes for the vanilla and chocolate flavors too--they are not ice cream, but rather a frozen dessert. (And I'm almost positive the strawberry and orange stands are the same product as well).

[parker1877]

I will be trying one TOMMOROW NIGHT ! ! ! Thats right, I leave tonight for the world. So, in the evening hours of Sunday night, I will be enjoying a dole whip and thinking of all my fellow disers. I will be wearing my lime green mickey of course !

I can use snack credits for these? Ooh, I cannot wait to try them! :goodvibes

[Jana49]

Holy cow, these look Delish! Adventure land, here I come! (well, in March!)

[rparmfamily]

We love Dole Whips too, but we get ours from the Dole Pineapple Plantation. (about 10 miles up the road LOL) :) YUM!!!!! It's a tie on where I like to eat it more--Disney or Hawaii!!!

[shellym]

i think i must be the only person to go to disney who doesn't like these!

[tekoa]

Love Love Love the Dole Whip Float.:banana: :banana:

[splashmtnfan]

I too was wondering what the heck they were, but felt silly asking since I have been quite a few times, and never remember hearing of them or seeing them for that matter, now that I have seen the pic.
Can't wait to try one of 'em when we go for our first Holiday trip Dec. 18-23. Dining Plan Snack Credit????

[Brise Nannie]

I've read about them, never had one, but after seeing that photo I'm gonna have to try one. YUM! ::yes::

[dex08]

Okay... so making Dole Whip at home will definitely take some of the magicalness away from it, but for those of you who can't make it to WDW soon enough....

(here's my long story.... )

I just got home from a business trip.... before I leave I always download podcasts onto my iPod to keep me entertained during my flights. I just recently started downloading Disney podcasts and I had added some video podcasts from Inside the Magic (http://www.distantcreations.com/insidethemagic/archive/). I began watching episode #112 an would you believe it? It was all about how to make Dole Whip at home!

Evidently the mix is sold at this website (http://www.uec-hawaii.com/products2.html) and you can make it at home in your own ice cream maker! Shipping costs are alot though.... it always is when you order stuff from Hawaii.

Also, while googling, I found several videos on You Tube about Dole Whip.. here's the link for the video podcast (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1fnJHTrI_o).

I think I may have to order some mix!!! One package makes LOTS of Dole Whip!!

[cookiebrito]

Okay... I'm 4 months pregnant and craving a Dole Whip Float:sad2:

[WICKEDWILLINGWENCH]

I just found out they had a Dole Whip booth at the texas state fair...which ended LAST week!!!

darn it! good thing I'm headed to DW today :)

[parker1877]

I am so craving a dole whip rite now ! !

To the poster who said they never new what they were and didnt want to ask becaus they were embarasses they had been to WDW so many times and didny know about it, dont feel bad. I had been to the world over 15 times before I ever heard of them. This year I asked about 10 random CM in the kingdom and none knew what they were.:confused3

[tl_swift]

Can you find them in the other parks or just MK?

[mickeysbutler]

I will have to try one in June!!:banana:

[mike72688]

I'm sure most of you know this but in case you don't Dole is the sponsor of the Enchanted Tiki Room, which is why it's sold in that location. (At least that's the way it is in Disneyland).:)

[OhioDisneyDad]

Never tried the Dole Whip there (not really a fruity ice cream guy) but I love the pineapple juice there. It really quenches a thirst! Of course I'm sure I can convince the wife to try it.

[KEVIN M]

Gotta love the Dole Whip!

[Lovin' Lorne]

i think i must be the only person to go to disney who doesn't like these!

You are not alone. They always seem to leave an icky coating on the roof of my mouth. Yuck. I'll take sherbert or regular ice cream any day.

I could go for one of thoes right now... to bad I'm several states away.

:idea: Maybe someone could ship me one???:rolleyes1

[Flanigan]

I belive they're only to be found in MK in the location described above.

[tammyandtommy]

ok ok I read somewhere on the boards that if u go to Cold Stone and get...
Cheesecake ice cream
pinapple
and
white choc. chips....
that you would get a dole whip..

I was dying for a fix so I tried it.... OMG it was pretty darn good!

[WillCAD]

I belive they're only to be found in MK in the location described above.

They can also be found at Captain Cooks in the Polynesian.

[sharonW]

If you are not a fan of pineapple you will not think much of
this treat, otherwise it is a must have!! Absolutely Delish!!:cool1:

[PooksMom]

Dole whip and the pineapple spears are my favorite treat at MK. My hausband sighs as we always make our way over asap, I am usually talking about it in the parking lot...:woohoo:

Well, that doesn't sound bad but its not a Dole Whip. Unless you're used to mixing the vanilla with the pineapple, I guess. The cold stone version sounds way too rich and creamy. What I love about the Dole Whip is how light and refreshing it is. :goodvibes

Wow!!! Looks delicious!!!

you need to treat yourself.

[TeamTinkerbell]

We used to get Dole Whips at the state fair every year when I was a kid. I haven't been in several years, but that was always a favorite treat and of course the funnel cakes. I am not much of a pineapple kind of person, but the Dole Whips are fantastic. When we were at the world last we had an ice cream and my DS and her DH shared a float. We were all gushes over what we'd gotten that I went back to get a float to share and they got the ice creams. It was worth it. We walked a million miles that week so I am sure that any fat in it "melted away" :lmao: Even if it didn't, it was still soooo worth it!!

Yes it's true! The Dole Whips used to be more pineappley - they were more like frozen pineapple juice and less creamy. Yum! My dad used to work for Dole in hawaii so I LOVE these and dream about them. The Dole Whip I recently had at Disneyland was good but not as good as the ones in Hawaii. I don't know it that's location or time passing by...oh well - it is still one of the best things I've ever had. And something you can NOT find in NYC (believe me I've looked!) I'm looking forward to having my first WDW Dole Whip in 4 DAYS!!!!!
