Why We Love the Dole Whip & Where to Find it at Walt Disney World

The Dole Whip is one of the most popular treats at Walt Disney World. You may not know what we are even talking about, but we are going to tell you exactly what it is, why we love it, and where you can find yours at Walt Disney World:

What is Dole Whip?:

The Dole Whip is a non-dairy pineapple frozen soft-serve treat. It is served in a cup and can also be served as the Vanilla Dole Whip or the Dole Whip swirl with pineapple and vanilla. There is also the float, which many guests refer to as the Dole Whip float. This is your choice of soft serve with pineapple juice over it. Some locations will also feature alcoholic versions where you can get the soft serve with different types of alcohol poured over the top or blended with it.

Why we love the Dole Whip:

The Dole Whip has become an iconic staple at Walt Disney World. It is extremely refreshing and light compared to many of the treats and snacks in the park. On a hot Florida day, it is a treat that will cool you off and leave you feeling more refreshed. It is eligible as a snack credit for guests on the Disney Dining Plan (not applicable for the alcoholic versions), too. It used to only be offered at one location but has become so popular that Walt Disney World spread it around to other locations all over WDW to help ensure that all guests can enjoy this fan-favorite treat. If you haven’t had one, then you absolutely have to give it a try!

Where to find the Dole Whip at Walt Disney World:

1 – Aloha Isle – Adventureland, Magic Kingdom

This is the classic Dole Whip location at Walt Disney World and used to be the only location where you could find this delicious treat. You won’t find any alcoholic versions at this location since it is in the Magic Kingdom, but you will find the Dole Whip and Dole Whip float varieties.

2 – Swirls on the Water – Marketplace, Disney Springs

This new location offers the Dole Whip soft serve options as well as the Dole Whip flight. It is definitely a great way to cool down in Disney Springs.

3 – Tamu Tamu – Africa, Disney’s Animal Kingdom

Not only does this location offer the Dole Whip, but it also offers a version where you can enjoy your favorite Dole Whip with a short of coconut rum. I don’t know if it gets any better than that!

4 – Pineapple Lanai – Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort

It makes complete sense that this delicious pineapple treat would be available the Polynesian. The soft-serve Dole Whip options are available in a cup or in a souvenir tiki bowl (for an added charge). You can also get the Dole Whip Float in all flavors or in a souvenir tiki cup (for an added charge).

5 – Trader Sam’s Grog Grotto – Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort

Check out this lounge area for another great adult beverage option. The Spiky Pineapple is available and is made of a blend of soft pineapple serve and Barbancourt Pango Rum for the perfect drink to enjoy the tropical surroundings of the resort.

6 – Pineapple Promenade – International Flower & Garden Festival, Epcot

Guests will be able to find the Dole Whip soft serve available along with a version of the Pineapple Float that includes Parrot Bay Coconut Rum.

7 – Everything POP Shopping & Dining – Disney’s Pop Century Resort

Over a Pop Century, guests can enjoy the Dole Whip soft serve options. There is also now a version that includes Captain Morgan rum for adults.

8 – Snack Shack – Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon Water Park

Next to Typhoon Lily’s quick-service restaurant, you’ll find the Snack Shack, which features a good selection of Dole Whip flavors: raspberry, strawberry, mango, and the classic pineapple flavor. Often, specialty cones are also available. Typhoon Lagoon is open seasonally and does not operate all year. Be sure to check the operating hours.

Bonus: Sunshine Tree Terrace and Trilo-Bites

While not the traditional pineapple flavor you may be used to, Sunshine Tree Terrace serves “Dole Whip Orange.” This creamy orange-flavored Dole Whip is another fan favorite. I absolutely love the Orange Cream (Dole Whip Orange and vanilla swirl)! You can also find this combination at Trilo-Bites at Disney’s Animal Kingdom.
