dole whips - changed? - The DIS Discussion Forums

suevee · 08-26-2008, 07:45 AM

Dole whips used to be a must do for us. We loved them. However when we went in June they were not very good. I think they changed the recipe. The color was a darker yellow and it had a saccharin sweet flavor. Has anyone else noticed this? Or is it just my husband and myself? Maybe our tastes have changed? What do you think?

I hate to sound all doom and gloom and I loathe sounding like "If Disney changes X my vacation is ruined" But.....

WHAT?!?!?!

I rolled with the punches on Figaro Fries. I tried to see the upside of the buns. I don't complain about smaller snack portions and increased prices, but shoot! I have very few traditions. Things that make Disney Disney for me.

Figaro Fries - Gone as I loved them. I can get cheese fries anywhere.
A Dog at Casey's - Not quite the same with the new bun, but still good
Rice Krispy Treat from Main St Bakery
French Toast Loaf from Main St Bakery
and I HAVE to have a minimum of one Dole Whip Float per trip.

PLEASE say that they aren't messing with the Dole Whips and Dole Whip Floats!!

I'll have to try for myself, I'll report back in a week... I am on a mission.

I remember Aloha Isle having funky hours, does anyone know what time they are open and what tome they close? TIA

Tricia1972 · 08-26-2008, 08:52 AM

I don't know about closing times. I am generally at the window when they open.

They're open no later than 11 and often they were open at 10:30 for me.

To Ruin My dinner by having a Dole Whip float right before a Sit down meal, at Crystal Palace, LTT..

So worth it to me..

Just wish they would bring back the Beaver Tail in Canada..

I was there in Aug. and they tasted the same to me! Although, the guy making them was swirling up some huge ones. Then, right before my turn, a new girl stepped in. I got a wimpy one! Wah!

When I was there earlier this month they were open until midnight but only serving Dole Whip until 11pm. Also, the Dole Whip was as good as ever -- you must've had a bad batch.

Tricia1972 · 08-26-2008, 10:00 AM

Whew! Glad to hear that they haven't changed. I am sure I'd find a new favorite, but I'm joining the "I hate change" age

ReneeA · 08-26-2008, 10:09 AM

We had a couple last week and I thought they tasted the same as always!

lucy_love · 08-26-2008, 10:33 AM

We were there 2 weeks and this was our first Dole Whip Float experience and both my bf and I thought it had a funny- fake sweetener after taste.

We thought it was great while eating it, but it has a terrible after taste.

I hope Disney hasn't extended it's food police campaign by trying to make the Dole Whips "healthy" using artificial sweeteners to save us all a few calories.

karrit2000 · 08-26-2008, 12:35 PM

If they changed it to artificial sweeteners I won't be getting them anymore. I don't do food than comes with red warning labels about the bad stuff in artificial sweeteners.

pixie08 · 08-26-2008, 12:44 PM

We were also there in June and they tasted fine...i agree you must have had a bad batch- boooo!

bavaria · 08-26-2008, 12:49 PM

Somehow I don't think that artificial sweeteners are the only concern! Mmmm chemicals!

It does however appear they have added corn syrup for your enjoyment.
