food IS a theme park
When it comes to classic Disney World treats, it doesn’t get much more iconic than a Dole Whip!
Dole Whip
Pineapple Dole Whip is the quintessential flavor, but guests can find plenty of other options around Disney World if they want to switch it up. In fact, we love trying out different Dole Whip flavor combos! And we just spotted a swirl option that’s perfectly refreshing for the summer heat.
Attention: Dole Whip fans!
Aloha Isle
You may know how much we LOVE Dole Whip here at DFB. Watermelon Dole Whip, strawberry-chocolate Dole Whip, Dole Whip floats…we’ve tried it all. But when we stopped by Aloha Isle today in Magic Kingdom, we noticed yet another Dole Whip option that we HAVE to tell you about!
WHOA!!! Do I ever owe DFB Reader Lauren F. a HUGE thank you!
She informed us of some VERY good news… she JUST got a Pineapple and Vanilla Dole Whip SWIRL from Aloha Isle!!!
You may recall when Aloha Isle and Sunshine Tree Terrace switched locations in Magic Kingdom’s Adventureland well over two years ago. But the locations weren’t the only thing that changed at the time: there was a change to the Aloha Isle menu, too. The option to swirl your Pineapple Dole Whip with Orange (or order Orange on its own) was removed from the menu.
In fact, the only flavor on the menu at all was simply Pineapple. And even though Pineapple Dole Whip — often referred to as Pineapple Soft Serve — has been popping up in various locations around Disney World (like the latest beverages at All Star Resort bars, for instance), the only place you have been able to swirl flavors since the location change was the Polynesian’s Pineapple Lanai.

We happily confirmed Lauren’s findings with a visit to the Disney World’s website where Vanilla does, indeed, appear on the Aloha Isle menu! [Read more…]
SUPER BUMMED that you can no longer get a Dole Whip Float with Vanilla ice cream at Magic Kingdom’s Aloha Isle?

Believe me, I feel your pain (though, for me, it’s the option for Orange Swirl that I miss).
Well, one of our clever DFB Readers, Farley N., came up with a way to get that pineapple/vanilla combo at the park, and kindly shared the strategy with us on our DFB Facebook Page: [Read more…]
Call it a little Disney Magic!
Mind blown? Yeah, mine too. You’re not seeing things…two of Magic Kingdom’s most beloved snack stops have switched places!
We’ve heard rumors, and now it seems to be happening: major changes are underway in Adventureland.
We’re still awaiting confirmation that a brand new restaurant might be coming to the area, but in the meantime, Aloha Isle and Sunshine Tree Terrace have swapped real estate.
And we have lots of brand new pictures of the change as it’s happening right now!
Here’s FIRST LOOK at the brand new Aloha Isle Sign! Clearly, the Dole sponsorship is still firmly in place.
