food IS a theme park
Oh, DOLE Whip, beautiful DOLE Whip, how we love thee, let us count the ways… .
We love you so much
Whether you’re classic pineapple or part of a delicious float or watermelon or lemon and lime, or well, ANYTHING that is considered a DOLE Whip, you will always be one of our favorite things to eat at Disney World. But now, we’re having our minds BLOWN because we’re mixing up our very own DOLE Whip creations. Say what?!?!
UPDATE 9/9/11: Peter’s Polar Parlor may have discontinued Dole Whips per a reader comment below. BUT, see the list below — and the comments section — for updates on where other readers have found Dole Whip throughout the USA!
Believe it or not, Dole Whip — that delicious frozen treat that is the true Disney food for many of us — can be found in many other places around the country.
Scott Thomas, who runs the legendary website PSCalculator.net, told me a few months ago that his area has several spots that serve Dole Whip. These include Peter’s Polar Parlor near the New York State Fairground:
Peter's Polar Parlor in New York State
Peter's Polar Parlor Sign
Scott says he’ll send “proof” photos of the Dole Whips in the Spring; right now all of the ice cream places are closed for the winter…brr!!! 🙂
Now, about a month or so after Scott told me that New York State was riddled with Dole Whips, I was thrilled to see my very own outside-of-Disney-parks Dole Whip during my first trip to Hawaii!
These are from Zack’s in Kaua’i:

And Kilohana Grill in the San Francisco East Bay area (San Ramon) has just started serving Pineapple Dole Whip (as of June 2011).
Note: You can also purchase Dole Whip Mix online and make your own…but I think it’s always more fun to buy one from a vendor!
