food IS a theme park
This weekend marks the official beginning of summer, and yes, it’s really starting to feel like summer here at Disney World (it’s hot, y’all).
Trilo-Bites
And we’ve already started to indulge in some summery treats including a Watermelon Dole Whip, a Memorial Day cupcake, a 70’s-inspired cocktail, and ice cream from the new ice cream shop at Disney’s Boardwalk Inn! But we just found a new summertime treat today that actually TASTES like summer!
It’s baaaack! The Watermelon Dole Whip has officially returned to Marketplace Snacks in Disney Springs!
Marketplace Snacks
Just a few months ago, we tried the Minnie Dole Whip Watermelon Cup (which had a bit of an identity crisis…) and we snagged a cup FULL of watermelon Dole Whip on its own, but now this special Dole Whip flavor is back and in a new parfait form. Is this new creation a Dole Whip must-have or a total pass? We’re bringing you all our thoughts right here!
Have you ever had a “nope, not today” moment in Walt Disney World?
Some days aren’t always perfect in Disney World.
Maybe you had plans go awry or you experienced something that wasn’t nearly as “magical” as you hoped it would be. Or maybe it felt like the park was quitting on YOU (like when a favorite ride has a weird malfunction!). Today, we’re sharing the times that we had experiences like that in the parks because we’ve seen some pretty bonkers things!
Disney keeps dreaming up different things to do with the ever-so-famous Dole Whip. And you can’t forget about the totally DELISH Citrus Swirl.Â
Citrus Swirl
You can find several Dole Whip and Citrus Swirl creations at Sunshine Tree Terrace in Magic Kingdom’s Adventureland. We tried one of their more unique offerings recently and are here to tell you all about it!
Just a few months ago, we were wondering what it would take to get watermelon DOLE whip in Disney World, and then BAM! Our wish was granted!
Watermelon Dole Whip!
We’ve already tried the secret menu Minnie Dole Whip Watermelon Cup (which didn’t exactly taste like watermelon to us…)Â and we grabbed a cup FULL of watermelon dole whip on its own earlier this year. But now the snack will be coming BACK in a special way!
Okay, so y’all know we are ALL about some Dole Whips at Disney World, right? There’s a reason this classic snack has been around as long as it has, after all!

BUT…we’ve found that there’s so much MORE to Dole Whip life than the classic Pineapple Soft Serve most Disney World guests usually get. In fact, we’ve unlocked a whole world of Dole Whip flavor combos that might even make you forget about just having the classic pineapple. And now, we’re sharing some of our favorites with you!
When you think of Dole Whip in Disney World, you probably picture Magic Kingdom. Right?
Dole Whip!
After all, what’s better than walking around Adventureland with that pineapple soft serve swirl in hand? Well, it actually can be better. You just might not realize it yet. Dole Whip is a park STAPLE — trust us, we get it! But you’ll have to head OUTSIDE of the parks for some more unique creations. If you’re craving Dole Whip but don’t want to settle for an ordinary soft-serve, float, or (gasp!) pineapple flavor, go for one of these options instead.Â
Mother’s Day is this Sunday! To celebrate, Disney World has rolled out a series of delicious treats for us all to enjoy!
Disney Springs
Already, we’ve snacked on the Mimosa Miniature Gâteau and even a Mother’s Day Cupcake. (Okay, make that more than one Mother’s Day Cupcakes…) Today, we’re heading to Marketplace Snacks at Disney Springs to try the latest Mother’s Day-themed dessert!
One of Disney’s cardinal rules that it has more or less lived by across their theme parks has to do with sticking to the story of a particular land. For example, you’ll never find a Ronto Wrap for sale in Toy Story Land, and you wouldn’t see a Tomorrowland Cast Member walking around in their costume in Adventureland.
Disneyland
However, those principles were put to the test in 2021, when Disneyland welcomed guests back to Disney California Adventure with A Touch of Disney.
Alright, alright, we know Season 2 of The Mandalorian has been out for quite some time now, but the obsession for Baby Yoda continues!

We’re not the only ones who still love him because Disney has released a new Baby Yoda hat (with ears that MOVE), Baby Yoda party decor, and even an entire streetwear collection dedicated to the little guy. But instead of being on more merch, we found Baby Yoda in Dole Whip form, and it is too cute for words!
