Dole Whip is Everywhere!

[Scootin'By]

I'm on a road trip to the Southern United States and I keep running into Dole Whip! One time I found a vending machine at a truck stuck (I think it was a Sheetz, right next to their milk shake machine) and then just today I found a soft serve place that offered it fresh!

I am so glad that this dessert is starting to trend wider than just the two places you used to be able to buy it at WDW. Talk about a magical day!

Many of the frozen Yogurt places here have it. I still prefer a glass of fresh Dole pineapple juice at Disney.

Hate to break it to you, but that juice comes out of a can. I've seen them dumping the giant can into a dispenser. They aren't out there juicing pineapples.

LOL. You mean Disneyland is lying to us? It may very well be frozen, but it doesn't have a cooked taste like canned in the store.

I have a Ninja Creami and just buy the dole whip powder mix and make at home now, so it’s no longer a Disney treat for us.

All it takes for pretty much the same results are a commercial soft serve machine and one of Dole's licensee's powdered mixes with the requisite proportion of water. The have other flavors too.

They also have some kind of boxed version, but it's not really that cheap. I'm seeing $7.99 a box.

Ginther's Swirls (ice cream place on International Drive) has had Dole Whip for several years.

Texas State Fair has had it as far back as I can remember, and I'm not young. Definitely has not been a Disney exclusive item.

Yeah, until I got on the DIS I had never heard of Dole Whip, and the Dole booth outside the Enchanted Tiki room has been a tradition for pineapple juice since my first trip to Disneyland in 1965. Not sure when they added it.

Here's the official history from the Disney Parks Blog.

I will admit, I hate dole whip. For whatever reason I am not a fan of fake altered fruits and most fruit flavors. I can eat fresh fruit all day long, but alter it by putting it into something, baking it, freezing it or almost anything else, then no way. I will drink a fruit smoothie though.

Thanks. Probably didn't even notice it was added to the menu.

We tried it last time at the Polynesian when at Disney. Thought it was just OK but nothing special. No idea why some think it is so wonderful. It is actually not ice cream and is some sort of frozen non-dairy product. I guess that is good for those who can't eat ice cream. Amazon sells the dry powder mix so you can make it at home. I would imagine some version of that is also sold commercially for places that sell to the public. Those copycat recipes you can find online are all over the map. There is no fruit pulp in the one Disney serves, so the recipes that start by whizzing pineapple in a blender are not the real thing.

And personally to me, this product was AWFUL. I mean I didn't expect it to taste like a Dole Whip in the park, but it was bad enough I threw it out. Just didn't want to eat any more of it.

I thought it was new in 1984, but apparently it goes back farther.

Your smoothies are from fresh fruit tho right, not jamba juice or wherever?

No, it's not frozen. It's a giant can like they sell on supermarket shelves. Like this one that is 46oz and costs $4.

It's been this way for a LONG time. The menu hasn't called it "fresh" juice in probably 20 years. The Tiki Juice Bar at Disneyland is sponsored by "Dole Packaged Foods."

The version sold on Amazon is a dry powder you mix with water. No idea if Dole sells various version of this product.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure the first time I had it was in 1975/76 on my first trip there.
