food IS a theme park
When it comes to Disney snacks, some stand out above the rest.
Classic DOLE Whip
Sure, you’ve had an acceptable Mickey pretzel here and there, or maybe even a really, really great corn dog. But, there’s nothing quite like taking that first bite of Dole Whip on a swelteringly hot Disney day! And if you think this snack’s praises deserve to be shouted from the rooftops — you’re in luck because the DFB-exclusive Dole Whip shirt is BACK!Â

What’s better than a frozen Dole Whip on a blistering hot day in Disney World? Nothing, that’s what.
AAAAHHH… DOLE Whip!
Dole Whip is one of the most iconic Disney desserts ever, with its own full history and even its own merch! You probably know about the classic OG Pineapple DOLE Whip, which is the flavor most people think of when they think of Dole Whip, but there are actually a LOT of flavor options these days. There are also a LOT of places to grab a Dole Whip in and outside of the parks, so let’s break down where you can get EVERY Dole Whip in Disney World!
It’s time to get a taste of what’s happening around Disney Springs!
Disney Springs
Can there ever be too many Dole Whip creations? Disney Springs has put this question to the test with their Disney Springs’ Flavors of Florida event, which brought some special Dole Whips to the area. (Spoiler alert: there is no such thing as too many Dole Whips. 😉 ) But it’s not just unique Dole Whips that have arrived — we’ve also spotted some returning food offerings, new merchandise, and…ice cream perfume?! Let’s take a trip to Disney Springs to see what’s going on!
It’s Dole Whip Day, everybody, and it’s time to celebrate!
Key Lime Dole Whip Martini
We’ve been celebrating in Disney World by trying out some fun creations like the Key Lime Dole Whip Martini and the Sangria Float. A lot of the treats available for the holiday are only around for a few days, so ya gotta act fast! And we’re here to tell you if a returning Dole Whip treat is worth it or not, so let’s go!
If you’re anything like us, when you need a frozen treat in Disney World, you fast-walk (safety first, treats second) to your nearest Dole Whip location.
Orange Bird Dole Whip Cone
Fortunately, that isn’t a difficult task, as Disney World has tons of places that offer Dole Whip creations — Aloha Isle, Storybook Treats, Sunshine Tree Terrace, Auntie Gravity’s Galactic Goodies, Refreshment Outpost, Tamu Tamu, Swirls on the Water…the list goes on and on. And, in celebration of Dole Whip Day (July 21st), Disney World is offering even more creative Dole Whip treats all around the resort. So today, we tried one at Disney’s Old Key West Resort…but it’s only for adults!
It’s one of the best days of the year: Dole Whip Day!
We love you, Dole Whip!
Dole Whip Day is the third Thursday in July and celebrates all things Dole Whip! Whether that’s the classic pineapple swirl, or something more wild like the Dole Whip Watermelon Taco, today is all about the popular Disney treat. Today, we had the opportunity to head to Swirls on the Water at Disney Springs to try a fun Dole Whip creation. Here’s what we thought!
DOLE WHIPS! Do we have your attention?
The Pineapple Upside-Down Cake with Dole Whip!
One of our favorite, classic treats around the parks is the Dole Whip — as well as the various forms it comes in. We’ve seen Dole Whips of all different shapes, sizes, and colors! And the best part about this treat is that you don’t even need a Disney park ticket to grab one. That’s right…you can grab a Dole Whip in Disney Springs too. So, let’s head over there to see what you can get!
Did you know that July 17th is a huuuuuuge holiday?!
YUUUUUUM
Okay, maybe not as huge as Halloween or Christmas…but it’s a big deal to us. That’s because it’s National ICE CREAM Day! It couldn’t be hitting at a better time, as the heat has us dragging, and who couldn’t use a cold treat right now? And, of course, we would be doing you a big disservice if we didn’t share ways to celebrate — we are Disney FOOD Blog, after all. So, without further delay, here are 6 ways to celebrate National Ice Cream Day!
Disney World has been going HARD on the snacks recently!
Orange Bird Dole Whip Cone
We’ve been getting new treats in the parks and resorts for seemingly every holiday, from Father’s Day to 4th of July. Now, Disney is prepping for Dole Whip Day (yep, that’s right, we’re excited too!) which will take place on July 21st. And to celebrate, you KNOW that we’re going to get some new snacks!
Sometimes we have to wait a LONG time for new treats in Disney World, but we FINALLY have an update about one today.
Doc Cone
Snow White and ice cream fans might remember the plans for the Seven Dwarfs Specialty Cones at Storybook Treats in Magic Kingdom, but so far we’ve only seen two Dwarf Cones (Grumpy and Doc), and it’s been over 6 (!!) MONTHS since we got a new one. But today’s the day! There’s a NEW Dwarf Cone in Disney World, and the star of this cone is none other than DOPEY!
