OK...What are Dole Whips....

[KathylovesPooh]

and why does everyone love them so much?

I can't read another thread without knowing why everyone pines for them.
Where do I buy one and why?

well they are a non dairy type of pinapple ice cream . I like them but I dont understand the rage over them . My MIL makes us sit and wait for it to open if we get to the park before it is open .
Our last day in WDW last Oct. She sat there while we rode rides and ate ( I am not kidding and she is a small woman !) 4 floats , and about 5 cups of the Dole whip alone. You can even ask RickInNYC when we met up wth them at MNSSHP last year she made all of us go to the Dole Whip hut to see if it was open . It WAS'NT She was bummed and refused to eat other ice creams she said she would wait. LOL

Dole Whips are only about the best darn treat at Walt Disney World! My favorite is the vanilla/pineapple twist, but the floats seem to be very, very popular. The twists just seem so refreshing to me, especially on a real hot day. They're only a couple of bucks for a cup, so if you don't like it, it's not too great a loss, but I can't imagine how you wouldn't LOVE them!

I have heard so much about these Dole Whips, we will be stopping there to get one and try it out. Where exactly is the Dole Hut located at?

After years of going to DW, I read about Dole Whips here on the DIS and tried them. I can't believe we've missed them all these years. Now we have to get them everytime we walk thru the MK gates!!!

 

[VSL]

Add me to the list of people who can't wait to try them!

Anyone got a picture of one, BTW?

Found one!

I had read so much about the dole whip that when I went in Sept. I practically b-lined it to the dole whip hut (which is located right across from Swiss Family Treehouse). I must admit, they were just as good as they were hyped up to be. I had the pineapple float - and it tasted delicious! As good as they are, I think one or two a trip for me would be lots. Enjoy!

Just to add .... from reading the board there is a stand in Adventure land by the Aladdin Magic Carpet rides. I will be trying one in 15 days!!!! I'll report when I return.

No, not considered a snack option. But always worth a try!

the floats are better than just the ice cream....the ice cream is floated in pineapple juice!

Another Dole Whip fan here. Also the Citrus Swirl, which is sold in the same area, is very good too. Citrus Swirl has an orange flavor.

We were at Disney in September and I had read alot about Dole Whips also. I did make sure I got to try one while I was in the MK. I had the float and it was really good...the pineapple juice in the bottom was very refreshing. I would definitely get another one when I am there again.

last week. They were both delicious! I think they're so cool and fruity and refreshing - not as sweet as regular ice cream; that's why I like them so much. The Dole Whip place is sort of between the Swiss Family Tree House and the Magic Carpets, to the right as you enter Adventureland from the Hub. The Citrus Swirl place is back past the Magic Carpets, between the Tiki Room and the entrance to the Frontierland/Liberty Square area. They're not on the dining plan, but they're not overly expensive - $2 - $3, so it's worth it to spring for 'em.

Pineapple dole whip floats are sooo good and they instantly became a "tradition" for us whenever we go. But I hope you don't get too hyped up about it because if you are expecting it to be absolutely delicious, then of course you will be like "what was all the fuss about?"

Anyway, they are delicious!!

Last time I went to Disneyland, my fiance had been looking forward to getting one all day, when we finaly get there, he orders one, they make the mosts delicious looking dole whip you'll ever see, he hands them his debit card and they were like "sorry cash only" and told us where the atm was. So we went over there, got some cash out, we went back (it had taken us a few minutes to find), and their machine had just broken and they werent' sure when it would come back up. The look of dissapointment on my fiance's face was so palpable, it was sad but pretty funny actually too! Luckily an hour later we were walking by and saw that they had reopened, so it turned out to be a good day in the end!

I must admit - all this talk of Dole Whips has me making some plans to stop by the Dole Hut when I get there. They look so tasty!!
