Instead of sweet soda, the liquid here is Dole pineapple juice with a swirl of coconut and pineapple soft serve. I stuck with something close to that original flavor in the form of a Pineapple Float. In its pure form, Dole Whip is a creamy pineapple soft serve, yet nowadays there are all sorts of variations, sundaes, and flavors. This is where the famous Dole Whip can be found giving hints of Polynesian culture and flavors. While everybody else stopped for typical soft serve in Fantasyland, I made a bee-line back to Adventureland to the Aloha Isle Refreshment stand right behind the Enchanted Tiki Room. I’ll spare you all the details, but it turns out my son is an adventurous thrill seeker when it comes to rides but less so when it comes to food.
We spent three full days at the parks with my entire family. I didn’t love it when I tried it then, but when returning to Disney World with my family and young son, I thought I should try the original and see what I had been missing all these years. So it’s not completely surprising that my first introduction to Dole Whip was actually in New York at an Hawaiian poké restaurant attempting to emulate the iconic theme park treat. Sure, I remember eating at Epcot’s Morocco and Germany when I was a kid, but my other Disney food memories are mostly burgers, pizza, and Mickey Mouse shaped ice cream. Although my family were not terribly adventurous eaters, you would have thought I would have fully explored the food options at the Disney theme parks. Growing up in South Florida, we went to Disney World a lot.
