My personal fav is Sunshine Tree Terrace so I can get the lava float dole whip

We had Dole Whip at the Polynesian a few years ago. As I recall, they take the concentrated mix from a large sealed bag and pour it into the freezing/dispensing machine. Wouldn't every Disney location do the same thing? Not sure why the different locations would matter.

"Consensus" and "DISBoards" are not good bedfellows.

My favorite is wherever there are other flavors than pineapple. Aloha Isle because the coconut is my favorite, Sunshine Tree Terrace, Swirls on the Water at DS.

Well I am not sure. Is that the case?
Would they be the same everywhere?

Coconut Dole Whip at Aloha Isle is superior to all other flavors. Sorry, I don't make the rules. That's just how it is.

I think the only differences might be the variations on what comes with it--juice? Booze? Some kind of topping? I wouldn't think the basic mix would vary. People say the Dole Whips from the Dole Plantation in Hawaii are superior but that's a separate trip.

I don't know for sure, but it seems to me that as large a place as Disney would have the food service well organized and likely many things are done centrally for distribution. I doubt each Disney place serving Dole Whip makes it from scratch. Dole Whip is a non-dairy product and has no fruit pulp in it. Those copycat recipes you can find online that start out by whizzing fruit in a blender is NOT how the real thing is made.

You can also buy the dry mixture on Amazon if you want to make it at home.

They sell it in the grocery store now but it’s $10 for 4 cups.

Aloha Isle has one where it’s POG juice, coconut dole whip and a pineapple cake pop that I love. My DH gets it too snd switches out the coconut for reg pineapple dole whip and that’s good too.

 

[RanDIZ]

Pineapple Lanai. It wouldn’t be a Dole Whip if it wasn’t at the Poly.

 

[pinnocchiosdad]

Aulani has pineapple and watermelon swirl dole whips!

 

[ajwilhorn]

Marketplace Snacks in DS used to have something called Dole Whip Nachos, but I don't see it on their menu anymore.

 

[Lisa_lvspplmvr]

Aloha Isle for the pineapple coconut swirl float ! While I love being at the Poly and getting Doke Whip there, the pineapple juice for the float is never cold .

 

[greeneyedchick]

Disney Springs so that I don't have to go into the parks. And they have a variety of flavors

 

[Flashfacts]

At WDW, I like Pineapple Lanai the best.

I'll say, I'm at Disneyland night now and today I had a pineapple dole whip at Disneyland Hotel and a pineapple/strawberry swirl at Tropical Hideaway and the pineapple does taste a little different. The one at DLH is just a little creamier and had a bit more of a punch. I thought the same the last time I was here and didn't get the swirl. I'm wondering if its just slight differences in the machine, since I assume they use the same mix.

For my money, nothing beats the classic pineapple soft serve at Aloha Isle.
