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!

It’s a healthier snack option.

I love to indulge in sweet treats or jumbo turkey legs at Disney World, but the Dole Whip is a healthier option.  Did you know that it is:
