All About Dole Whips

You’ve probably (at least) heard of a Dole Whip.

It’s one of the Disney Parks’ most famous snacks.

It’s a pineapple soft serve dessert. It is served alone or as a float with pineapple juice. It is a really unique consistency though. It’s not quite a sorbet or sherbet, and it feels lighter than soft serve ice cream. It’s just one-of-a-kind.

Other flavors are sometimes available too. In Disney World’s Adventureland restaurant, Aloha Isle, you can buy pineapple, vanilla, orange, or a swirl of two flavors. My personal favorite is an Orange Dole Whip Float. Yum!

This quick, little video shows a Cast Member’s day at the Tiki Juice Bar in Disneyland, serving Dole Whips. (I love that they made “My First Dole Whip/Float” celebration buttons!)

Also, did you know that you can find Dole Whips (called Dole Soft Serve) in other places?!

I live in the Midwest and I’ve found orange Dole Whip in a frozen yogurt kiosk at a mall and raspberry and pineapple flavors at the St. Louis Zoo. It’s fun to be able to have a bit of Disney flavor away from the parks.

A (Slightly Over-the-Top) Tip: I packed a little, single-serving can of pineapple juice along to the zoo and turned my Dole Whip into a float! It works best if you have an extra cup to put it into though, since there isn’t room in their little sundae cups. But, it’s so worth the trouble! I enjoy it much more as a float!
