Dole Whip Magic

[mechanic]

Recipe sounds good. But might be a bit different since its whipped cream instead of soft serve.

Even a little close will help. I miss WDW.

I bought my mom an ice cream maker for Christmas. Can't wait to try out this recipe.

Glad you discovered this treasure! I could sure go for one right now!

You can also pop into Poly if you are over that way and get one! I love them, too!! I kept reading about people on here loving them and like you, I was a Floridian and never paid much attention. I have to have at least one (or 2, 3...) now on each trip! I like the pineapple floats a lot too and if you like alcoholic drinks, you have to try a lapu lapu some time at Poly lounge, they serve it to you in a pineapple and it is fantastic, it's my "mommy" splurge when there
PS I used to work at Mease/Morton Plant Hospital where you live

Since we aren't going to Disney this year we will have to get our Dole Whip on at the Dole Plantation in Hawai'i as we stop there on our cruise in September

LIES! Couldn't stay away! Dole Whip on schedule for Halloween 2012

Is it more of an ice cream or more of a sherbert? I had one before and it seemed less creamy than what others are saying.

its a soft serve ice cream... but I can see where it has a slightly similar texture to sherbert. Have you ever had an Orange and Vanilla twist at a Dairy king/queen? its similar to that.

But i would also compare it to a soft serve frozen yogurt in consistancy

[PAYROLL PRINCESS]

I think it's more soft serve than it is sherbert.

I used to walk by the stand and never knew there was a little bit of heaven being served there. Now I have to have at least one each trip. Hopefully more than one!

Okay - I know I'll be getting one and my DD - well she doesn't like pineapple - so stinks to be her on this one.

Last trip we stopped for our essential Dole Whip fix at MK. We had several first timers in our group who dislike pineapple but tried a bit of ours and, amazingly enough, they were the ones dragging us back for more a couple of days later.

So be wary, they can be converted

I have researched this. If you buy a soft serve home ice cream maker, you can purchase the exact same mix from dole that Disney uses. You order it directly from Hawaii. It's a little on the expensive side since you need to purchase a decent machine and you HAVE to get the one that does the swirl with vanilla!

[ronandjulie]

I have the link to order the mix in my profile.

Besides the vanilla and pineapple, Aloha Isle used to have chocolate soft-serve. My all-time favorite used to be a chocolate-pineapple swirl, and every time I ordered one, the CM's gave me a hard time about it ("We only have vanilla-chocolate swirl...you can't swirl pineapple and chocolate." "Wanna bet?" ).

Oh - and besides Aloha Isle, there are/were two other flavors:
Orange-vanilla swirl (much like Orange Julius, if you know what that is), found at Sunshine Tree Terrace (just outside the exit of Tiki Room), and strawberry-vanilla, found at Enchanted Grove/Chesire Cafe' (or whatever it's called now), over by Tea Cups.

My husband is a huge fan of Dole Whips. He insists on getting one every time we go, even when it was freezing outside.. 40 degrees and first thing in the morning!!

[mom2Z&A]

mmm...Dole Whips...mmm...Dole Whip Floats. Told some friends about Dole Whips as they had never heard of them.

They were "kind" enough to text us photos of them enjoying Dole Whips and Dole Whip Floats last Thanksgiving when they were there.

[mechanic]

Can anyone confirm location at poly where its available?

[Disneywarrior]

Yes...Dole whips can be found at Captain Cook's Snack Company at the Polynesian Resort!
