Anything comparable to a Dole Whip at Universal?

[DisneyFan32WI]

We are headed down in 3 weeks, and this will be our first trip to Universal with the kids. I am going to be craving a Dole Whip!! Is there anything like it around Universal? Even just plain frozen yogurt or smoothies would help satisfy me.

Margaritas are sold in US, maybe in IOA as well, but US was where we got ours. They suited us just fine.

There is a TCBY yogurt shop at CityWalk.

MY fave at USO is the lemon slushy/water ice. Not Dole Whip but toally refreshing on a hot day!

I'm not familiar with dole whips, but they serve gelato at Louie's at USF and at Gelateria at the Portofino Bay Hotel.

I love Dole Whips, but this is my favorite snack in Orlando!

Dole whips are a lactose free, cholesterol free,low fat, shelf stable dry mix that is reconstituted into a soft serve 'treat'. It comes in a number of flavors but pineapple seems to be the Disney flavor of choice. Served on top of canned Dole pineapple juice it becomes a Dole Whip float.

You can order the mix from the manufacturer and make it in your ice cream machine at home. Like a lot of the packaged mixes you can buy.

If that sounds yummy then you'll love it.

I feel like I may be the last person in the world to know this! I never knew you could order the dry mix. I am so happy. I just placed my order. Gonna give it a try in my ice cream maker. Wow, how cool! Dole Whips are on my must do list every time I go to WDW. At least now I have something to keep me going until my next trip. Thanks so much for the info.

Back to the topic, I would also be interested to know is there is ANYTHING at Uni that may compare to my beloved Dole Whip...

Frozen Butterbeer!

OMG! Totally forgot about the frozen Butterbeer! That is definitely the best refreshing treat at the parks!

Love the stuff...dreaming of it!

I sigh when I look at my collectable Butterbeer mug. I miss that frozen yumminess!

I second the TCBY for yogurt, too. My kids also liked the frozen goose juice (or was it moose juice?).

Not a drink but my kids always looked forward to having Dippin' Dots http://www.dippindots.com/store/ and Funnel Cakes http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Funnel_cake
