IYKYK: Why DOLE Whip Experts Never Get the Basic Pineapple Flavor

Dole Whip is a staple of the Disney World parks — that’s a fact.

Pineapple Float from Aloha Isle

This tasty, refreshing treat is not only perfect for cooling you off on a hot day but is also a great nostalgia inducer — a lot of our team grew up eating Dole Whip around the Disney World parks on our family vacations, and now when we grab it as an adult, it brings back those happy memories. While we love the classic Pineapple Dole Whip, we have to be honest — we NEVER get it.

OK, I guess we shouldn’t say NEVER. Sometimes a good, classic pineapple DOLE Whip hits the spot perfectly. But here’s the thing: There are SO many other exciting options and combinations you can grab around Disney World property! We asked our team what their favorite Dole Whip flavors and combinations are, and BOY do we have a fantastic list for you.

Zazu Dole Whip Lime and Coconut Float

Starting out strong, we have the Lime Dole Whip Margarita, which can be found at Barefoot Pool Bar at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort. It’s made with Corazón Blanco Tequila blended with DOLE Whip® Lime and Chili-Lime Seasoning — for those of you who drink alcohol, it’s a must-try!

We also love the Tropical Serenade at Aloha Isle in Magic Kingdom! This is made with Pineapple-Orange-Guava Juice, Coconut Soft-serve, and an Upside-down Pineapple Cake Pop. In general, the Coconut soft serve is a big favorite flavor of ours — please give it a try the next time you see it! It’s not technically DOLE Whip (it’s soft-serve), but we love it anyways.

The Tropical Serenade Float

Over at Good’s Food To Go at Disney’s Old Key West Resort, we also highly recommend the Key Lime Dole Whip! This is vanilla soft serve and Key Lime Dole Whip swirled together with graham cracker crumbs sprinkled on top. Yes, it’s basically Key Lime Pie as Dole Whip and we love it.

Key Lime Swirl

Over in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, you used to be able to grab the Simba Sunset at Tamu Tamu Refreshments, which was another favorite. This is Pineapple Dole Whip topped with a red syrup flavored with strawberry, watermelon, and coconut, and there was an alcoholic version available as well! (Please bring it back, Disney!)

Some other options that we’ve loved to grab in the past that are either seasonal or just aren’t currently available are:

  • Chocolate Covered Strawberry Dole Whip (we’ve typically seen available around Valentine’s Day)

A Valentine Swirl

  • Raspberry Pineapple Swirl at Aloha Isle (Cast Members can typically do swirls of flavors that are in the same machine, and sometimes flavors in different machines, but that’s not a guarantee!)

Raspberry Pineapple Swirl Dole Whip!

  • Pineapple Coconut Swirl (Always a classic, delicious combination!)

Coconut Pineapple Dole Whip Swirl

  • Orange Watermelon Swirl at Swirls on the Water in Disney Springs (If you love Dole Whip, you HAVE to check this spot out!)

Orange and Watermelon Dole Whip

Swirls on the Water at Disney Springs is an amazing haven for DOLE Whip fans. They have DOLE Whip flights, so you can try a few different flavor combinations! These switch out every month or so, so there’s always something new to try.
