Where to find Dole Whip at Disney World
Dole Whip is an iconic Disney treat that has been around since 1968. If you’re wondering where to find Dole Whip at Disney World, you’re in the right place. In this post, we’ll discuss where to find Dole Whip at Disney parks, resorts, Disney Springs, and more.
I like to go into detail about everything, so first, let’s cover some basic Dole Whip FAQ:
What is Dole Whip?
Dole Whip is arguably the most popular sweet treat at Disney World. That is saying something because Disney has a lot of sweet treats.
Dole Whip is also completely gluten-free as well as dairy-free making it a great ice cream alternative for both lactose-intolerant guests and vegans. We’ll talk more about that in a bit.
If you are getting anything other than “regular” Dole Whip, make sure to ask about gluten, dairy, or any other allergens.
Although Dole Whip is a famous Disney snack, you can also find it at Universal Orlando! More on that later.
How much does Dole Whip Cost?
A simple cup of Dole Whip starts around $5, but more elaborate or alcoholic versions can be up to $15.
If you make it all the way to Disney’s Aulani Resort on Oahu, grab some Dole Whip at Little Opihi’s! This is an example of a more “elaborate” Dole Whip at about $12.
Is Dole Whip covered in the Disney Dining Plan?
Dole Whip usually counts as a snack credit under the Disney Dining Plan. However, alcoholic versions of Dole Whip are excluded from the Disney Dining Plan.
Is Dole Whip Vegan?
Yes! Dole Whip itself is vegan. It is coconut-based! However, not all Dole Whip treats will be vegan. Anything mixed with vanilla soft serve is obviously not vegan.
Vanilla soft serve, even the Dole Brand, is milk-based and, therefore not vegan or dairy-free.
Make sure to ask if you have anything added to plain Dole Whip.
Dole Whip is also gluten-free; although toppings may not be if you follow any special diet or have allergies, always ask when ordering.
Disney is fantastic with accommodating allergies and dietary preferences.
Where to find Dole Whip at Disney theme parks
First things first, let’s talk about where to find Dole Whip at the Disney theme parks. Dole Whip is a great way to cool down on a hot day; check out how to keep cool at Disney World for more tips! Also, make your Disney vacation more fun by staying close to the theme parks! Check out the closest Disney Resorts to the Parks to learn more.
Magic Kingdom
Aloha Isle
The first place that most of us think of when we want Dole Whip is Aloha Isle in Magic Kingdom.
Aloha Isle is located in Adventureland and is the original Dole Whip location. Generally, you can buy regular pineapple Dole Whip or pineapple Dole Whip swirled with vanilla soft serve.
Occasionally you’ll find souvenir cups and other Pineapple Whip flavors offered at Aloha Isle.
Storybook Treats
Storybook Treats offers Lime Dole Whip and is located near Princess Fairytale Hall and Friar’s Nook.
Sunshine Tree Terrace
Sunshine Tree Terrace offers orange Dole Whip and is located near the Swiss Family Robinson Treehouse.
Animal Kingdom
Tamu Tamu Refreshments
You can fold cups of Dole Whip at Tamu Tamu Refreshments in Africa. Adults can also add light or dark rum to the Dole Whip (for an up-charge, of course.)
Tamu Tamu Refreshments also offers the “Simba Sunset,” which is Dole Whip, strawberry, coconut, and watermelon syrup. “King Cooler” is the same thing but with rum added for about $5 more.
EPCOT
Although Dole Whip is not always offered at EPCOT, you can often find it during the festivals. If you’re visiting EPCOT during a festival, make sure to check the festival booths.
During the Flower and Garden Festival, you may be able to get your hands on Dole Whip with rum at either the Refreshment Port or the Pineapple Promenade Booth.
Hollywood Studios
You’ll find Galaxy’s Edge, The Tower of Terror, Slinky Dog Dash, and a lot of other popular attractions at Hollywood Studios. Check out things to do at Hollywood Studios for even more tips for enjoying the park.
However, if you’re looking for where to find Dole Whip at Disney Hollywood Studios, sadly, you will not find any Dole Whip in the entire park. Since this is my favorite Disney park, I hope that they will add Dole Whip someday. For now, try blue or green milk—also vegan, very different from Dole Whip.
For now, the closest place to find Dole Whip is Boardwalk Joe’s Marvelous Margaritas which will be discussed later.
Typhoon Lagoon
If you’re hoping to find Dole Whip at a Disney Water Park, you’re in luck! You can find Dole Whip at Typhoon Tilly’s in Typhoon Lagoon.
Disney Springs
Marketplace Snacks
Marketplace Snacks offers either a cone or a cup of Dole Whip. Adults can also add rum if they would like. Yes, adding rum to Dole Whip is very popular.
Marketplace Snacks also offers a Dole Whip Float, which is Dole Whip + pineapple juice.
Sometimes other Dole Whip offerings will pop up around Disney Springs, but your best bet is Marketplace snacks.
Where to find Dole Whip at Disney Resorts
If you’re staying in a Disney Resort, you may be able to get a Dole Whip without going far. Most people know that you can find Dole Whip at the Polynesian, but other resorts offer this popular treat too.

Polynesian Village Resort
If you’re trying to figure out where to find Dole Whip at Disney, one of the first places that comes to mind is Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort.

Although Dole Whip is generally served with rum, The Barefoot Pool Bar also offers a frozen margarita with lime Dole Whip.

Where do I find flavored Dole Whip?
Flavored Dole Whip, such as lime, raspberry, lemon, and others, are seasonal and tend to come and go. If you see a specialty Dole Whip, make sure to get it because it might not be offered anywhere else!
Where to find Dole Whip outside of Disney in Orlando
