Dole whip questions

[deelam]

I've never had a dole whip. I've been to Disney 12X and never heard of a dole whip before I found this board.
I love pineapple. I also love chocolate. What is a good thing to order.

Based on that info, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say either a pineapple or chocolate Dole whip

They are my favorite snack at WDW! I also love pineapple and chocolate, but I always get just the straight pineapple Dole Whip then have my chocolate somewhere else. My DH also loves pineapple and chocolate, but he gets the pineapple and vanilla swirled Dole Whip. He likes the swirled but doesn't think he'd like the pineapple/chocolate swirled. However, I have read a review by another DISer, Forever42, and she said the pineapple/chocolate swirled was very good.

As you can see, you really can't go wrong no matter what kind of Dole Whip you choose!

OK - what is a Dole Whip (ice cream)? and where can I get one?

Dole Whip is soft serve pineapple flavored ice cream. It is very good, but I find it a little sweet so I always get a pineapple float with vanilla ice cream, all it is, a float with pineapple juice and vanilla soft serve. It is located in Adventure land, close by the Swiss Family Treehouse. HTH

I love pineapple and I love chocolate and after reading about them here I thought this would be fabulous. I guess I was expecting too much. I was unimpressed and threw most of it in the trash and decided it wasn't worth the calorie splurge. I am sure I am in the minority but that is just my opinion.

I'm going to try both chocolate/pineapple and plain pineapple. I don't have much doubt that I will like this, because pineapple is my favorite. I love fresh pineapple covered in chocolate. So i'm sure the chocolate ones are just as tastey. I just wouldn't want the chocolate to overpower the pineapple.

My DD and I tried Dole Whips for the first time two weeks ago. We both got vanilla and pineapple swirls - we really could have shared. I would compare this treat to TCBY's sorbet twisted with vanilla or white chocolate mousse. JMO

Yep, I did the chocolate and pineapple mixed, and thought it was great. The chocolate flavor did not overpower - the pineapple flavor overpowered, if anything. Great mix of flavors! I liked it a lot better than plain pineapple or pineapple and vanilla. You can see a picture if you go through the link in my signature.

Saw the picture. That chocolate/pineapple looks soo good! It's like 90 degrees where I'm at, I could go for one now.

Just keep the chocolate OFF my pineapple (and the nuts out of my chocolate chip cookies, and the raisins out of my meatballs, and...there are things that just don't go together, folks)!

LOVE the pineapple/vanilla swirl floats, now THAT works for me (making noise like Homer Simpson over donuts)...no, I shouldn't be here on this board before dinner!!!

I am a pinapple/vanilla swirl person as well. It took me a while to find the Dole Whip shack. If you're walking into the Adventureland area, it will be on your right just after you cross-over the bridge coming out of the hub area.

Is the dole whip place near the Alladin Carpet Ride?

I have a map with the location marked. Hold on while I upload it to a website that you can access it from.

Here you go...

A Dole Whip isn't actually ice cream, it is more like a soft-serve sherbet. It is lactose-free but not entirely non-dairy.

Dole Whips are YUMMY!! I used to be a Dole Whip purist and only ordered them straight until my most recent trip when I got a Dole Whip float (Dole Whip topped with pineapple juice). It was delicious

 

[mamalle]

they are so yummy! never heard of the chocolate mix- I'll have to try it come July. thanks

I love vanilla/pineapple. I tried the float last year on a day that was 101. It was very refreshing. I can't wait to have another in August.

I've never heard of mixing the Dole Whip with chocolate! I guess I never realized they even served it this way!

I llloooovvveeee the Dole Whip plain or in the float, however.

I wolf one down while my kids sit there and have big hunks o' pineapple sold from the same stand! Every year I get pictures of them with these big pineapple slices -- I guess it's THEIR tradition!
