How did we ever miss this in past years?
Disney will be celebrating its third annual DOLE Whip Day on July 20, and will keep the tasty party going through July 23. Honestly, though, in order to get through all these specialty treats, we’d need at least a month.
Disney explains that this fete takes place the third Thursday of July each year, and it’s “been officially designated as National DOLE Whip Day by Chase’s Calendar of Events – an official compendium of holidays worldwide. Not to mention this year marks the 40th anniversary for DOLE Whip.”
For our family, we’ve always leaned toward the iconic Pineapple DOLE Whip cup, eaten on the sidewalk in Frontierland in Magic Kingdom while waiting for the parade to come through. Though, truth be told, we can also be talked into a DOLE Whip float, or even the DOLE Whip swirled with vanilla ice cream for a change of pace. Once, we even ventured into the DOLE Whip Pineapple Upside Down Cake thingy, but that was just going a bit too far – no one wanted to move in the Florida heat after that overly sweet treat. Some folks like to add a touch of alcohol to their DOLE Whip, but for us, the added price has never really livened up the classic experience, though the Frozcato at Wine Bar George with its pineapple DOLE Whip was a delicious alternative with dinner for our group.
Back in the day, you could only get a DOLE Whip in the classic pineapple flavor, but now there are myriad variations served up for different holidays and celebrations, from coconut, to lime, watermelon, and even chile-mango whip. You might find one themed after a princess or villain for extra fun. There was even an order of DOLE Whip “nachos” at Disney Springs.
And gone are the days when the Magic Kingdom was the only place to get this refreshing treat (at least here on the east coast.) Now, the DOLE Whip and its various iterations are available at certain resort hotels like the Polynesian (love you, Pineapple Lanai!), the Disney Cruise Line, the overseas resorts, and Aulani Resort & Spa. (But really, Aulani is in Hawaii, home of the DOLE Plantation, so that one really makes the most sense!). Some say that there are also DOLE Whip wannabes in certain big box store food courts, masquerading under similar names.
If you are a true DOLE Whip fan, and need the merch to prove it (ahem… note to husband… just sayin’), there is a fabulous “Disney100 Jungle Cruise Dessert Bowl served with DOLE Whip” up for grabs this year on the west coast (please, please bring it to Florida!), or a special tiki mug filled with DOLE Whip, also a west coast only treat. (Insert sad face here!)
For those of you ready to embark on a DOLE Whip adventure this year, Disney has supplied a handy “DOLE Whip Foodie Guide” to help you discover your new favorite DOLE Whip flavor. It includes both the existing DOLE Whip locations, as well as the limited time offerings for this year’s celebration. Oh, what a chore it will be to suss this one out! But eat fast – it’s Florida and it’s summer. That DOLE Whip swirl isn’t going to last.
