I have the plain whip- my boys have the float. I just do not think I could finish the whole thing- the ice cream is enough for me. My boys do not have that problem- which is why I have never even tasted the float
I guess my answer is- they are both de-lish!
Float-pineapple on pineapple It is not too much pineapple for me I just find floats so refreshing in general (I love root beer floats, Wendy's frosty float with coke, seltzer water with ice cream and chocolate syrup, etc.)
I didn't care for the orange flavor (tastes like other sherbert/sorbet things I have had) and vanilla is just too plain for me when at Disney. I know there are lots of places that you can get soft serve that tastes somewhat like pineapple dole whip (or even the real thing)...but a Dole Whip float is just all Disney so I have to have at least two on vacation (we always go to MK at least twice) AND I DO NOT share the float.
I've tried it every way and this is my favorite. Vanilla/pineapple swirl dole whip floating in pineapple juice. Mmmmmmm! I can't say why exactly. I love vanilla and pineapple. The swirl is definitely the way to go if you like both of those flavors. The pineapple is tart and the vanilla is sweet, so they complement each other perfectly. The juice makes it even more refreshing on a hot day.
