Charity Craig Dole Whips are one of the most popular sweet treats since Dole partnered with Disneyland in 1976, in fact, plan on waiting in a line at any given point. If you’ve never heard of the Dole Whip, then let me introduce you to a whole new delicious world of pineapple soft-serve (All together now, ‘Yuuuum’). There are three places you can snag a Dole Whip while visiting Disney Parks:
Disneyland
- Tiki’s Juice Bar – This is a small walk up bar next to the Enchanted Tiki Room show in Adventureland. Grab a Dole Whip to enjoy while watching the iconic animatronic birds sing!
Walt Disney World
- Aloha Isle – It’s located at the Magic Kingdom near the Enchanted Tiki Room in Adventureland. Again, get your Dole Whip for the show!
- Captain Cook’s – Captain Cook’s is at the Polynesian Resort.
When creating your own Dole Whip at home, you must have patience. It’s a super simple process, but it takes a little time to create the cream soft-serve consistency than, say, when making a smoothie. When running the blender I had to stop every few seconds to stir the frozen mixture until it was all finely blended together. I caution to resist the temptation to stir your Dole Whip while the blender is running. You may loose a spoon…or a hand. Stop your blender often to mix. Be patient, it will get there.
- 2 cups pineapple chunks, frozen
- 1 cup coconut milk, chilled
- 1 tbsp condensed milk or desired sweetener
- Pour coconut milk and condensed milk into blender.
- Add pineapple.
- Blend until smooth.
- Serve immediately.
- Be patient. You'll need to stop the blender often to stir the mixture. You're looking for a soft-serve sorbet consistency, so it's going to take a bit longer than usual to blend the ingredients. Replace the condensed milk for another sweetener to make it vegan and dairy-free.
We used straws for the picture, but we ate them with a spoon! Be sure to pin this recipe for later, and don’t forget to tag us on Twitter or Instagram using the hashtag #yohotasteofdisney when you make your own Dole Whips.

Wanted to add that you can also get Dole Whips at Animal Kingdom at Tamu Tamu Refreshments. This seems to be my favorite spot because there is hardly ever a line and nothing beats the humid air at animal kingdom like a Dole Whip. Thanks so much for this awesome website and blog post!
We totally went and tried these out this week, and you were right, literally no line. Thanks for the suggestion. 🙂
This is my husband’s most favorite Disney sweet treat. We ALWAYS head to Aloha Isle when in the Magic Kingdom. Who knew we could also get this at the Polynesian!!! Thanks for sharing that info. and an at-home recipe.
