Beloved Disney Parks DOLE Whip is Coming to Your Grocery Store!

That’s right, soon you can enjoy DOLE Whip treats by purchasing them at a grocery store, all without having to plan a visit to the Disney Parks.

Almost thirty years after Disneyland debuted, the original theme park that started it all got just a little bit more magical with the introduction of DOLE Whip, a pineapple-flavored soft serve, at Walt Disney’s Enchanted Tiki Room. Created by the DOLE Packaged Foods LLC, a long-time distributor of tropical fruit flavor, through a sponsorship with the Disneyland Resort in 1984, the dairy-free delight quickly skyrocketed to stardom, becoming a staple of Disney Parks cuisine.

Since then, Disney has added three more flavors, DOLE Whip-themed desserts, and beverages, and even celebrates DOLE Whip Day on July 21. Frequently, Disney Parks will even release specialty DOLE Pineapple Whip flavors for a limited time at exclusive locations such as Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort’s Pineapple Lanai, Swirls on the Water at Disney Springs, or Disneyland’s Tropical Hideaway.

But what about some delicious DOLE from the comfort of your home? Previously, Disney fans jonesing for their soft serve fix outside of the Walt Disney World Resort or other Disney Park would have to find a local ice cream or frozen yogurt location offering the licensed product, as DOLE only sold its DOLE Whip mixes in industrial size bags.

Moreover, if they didn’t have their own soft serve machine or ice cream maker, they would have to settle for homemade copycat recipes, whose flavor profile and authenticity often paled in comparison. Now, DOLE Whip lovers can rejoice because it seems like soon, a real DOLE Whip that’s easy to find and consume could be coming to a grocery store near you!

In fact, all you’ll have to do is walk into your grocery retailer’s frozen foods aisle, according to a new company press release. Explicitly, “Dole Whip®, a tropical frozen treat, will soon be available in three delicious flavors (pineapple, mango, and strawberry) in the freezer aisle at your local grocery store.”

Dole-Whip-Softserve

Furthermore, attendees of next week’s Southern California Expo West in Anaheim will get the first taste of the new natural product from March 7 to 11, 2023. Consumer-ready DOLE Whip, along with other unique items such as smoothie bowls, juices, dehydrated fruit snacks, and probiotic sodas are slated to hit grocery stores later this year.

Two Fan-Favorite Dining Experiences Are Changing Soon

Whether visiting Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, EPCOT, Hollywood Studios, or a Walt Disney World Resort hotel, a significant portion of the Disney experience is the dining.

Walt Disney World dining is an extra way to create memorable moments and experience that one-of-a-kind customer service and immersion that comes with a Disney vacation.

Quick service dining locations are convenient and, well, fast! But making advance dining reservations to eat at the best restaurants is a surefire way to enhance the Disney vacation.

EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival

However, the high prices can easily drive some Guests away, so the Walt Disney Company has found ways to sweeten the pot and make the experience even more enticing. This includes Character Dining as well as all-you-can-eat buffets.

That being said, the COVID-19 pandemic forced many Walt Disney World restaurants to limit their offerings. Character dining and buffets were nowhere to be found, even when the best restaurants began reopening.

Luckily, two of Walt Disney World’s most beloved dining experiences are about to return, making the exorbitant prices worth it again.

Cinderella’s Royal Table in Magic Kingdom will return the character dining aspect to its full potential. After this restaurant reopened, the princesses would simply wave at Guests as they walked past.

Beginning on February 28, princesses such as Ariel, Snow White, Jasmine, Aurora, and Cinderella will offer traditional meet-and-greet opportunities during the Character Dining experience.

Chef Mickey's

Over at Disney’s Contemporary Resort, the signature restaurant, Chef Mickey’s, was one of the first to reopen during the pandemic. The characters were missing at first, and so was the buffet style. However, now that the characters have returned, it’s time for the buffet dining style to reappear. Beginning on March 1, buffet-style dining is again offered at Chef Mickey’s!

If you’re visiting Walt Disney World soon, prepare to get the full Disney experience at Cinderella’s Royal Table and Chef Mickey’s!

Disneyland Reveals New Dining and Merchandise Options

According to the Disney Parks Blog, Mickey’s Toontown will debut new and delicious dining options when it reopens later this month and will have some exclusive Runaway Railway-themed merchandise too!

Mickey’s Toontown has been a Disney Park staple for Guests of all ages since the 1990s, offering visitors the chance to live like a Disney cartoon character, exploring the homes of the Fab Five and whirling around in a taxi cab through scenes from 1988’s Who Framed Roger Rabbit? The themed space features hilarious cartoon gags and characters from franchises like Disney Afternoon’s Rescue Rangers.

Today, Disney has expanded the land, creating two new spaces, the El CapiTOON Theatre, and CenTOONial Park, as well as opening the new attraction, Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway. The Toontown additions come as part of the Disney100 Anniversary Celebration and the Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resort’s 100 Years of Wonder festivities.

In fact, Toontown will reopen with more sensory-friendly spaces for play, such as Goofy’s How To Play Yard and Donald’s Duck Pond, along with more green spaces for relaxation… and nothing’s better for that than the Perfect Picnic in the Park! Disney fans will soon be able to purchase exclusive merchandise items, such as the Perfect Picnic Blanket featuring Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse and the Perfect Picnic Basket, a novelty item that comes with three snack items.

For instance, choose from applesauce, a yogurt smoothie, granola bars, Cuties Mandarin Oranges, or a gluten-free fig bar for those with allergy restrictions, plus a Minute Maid juice box or small DASANI water. Moreover, a new quick-service location, Good Boy! Grocers will offer even more tasty treats to make your picnic perfect.

With fast grab-and-go options, this “friendly roadside stand” at the Toontown Farmer’s Market provides yummy bites such as whole fruit, Mini Babybel cheese, Coca-Cola beverage products, Topo Chico Sparkling Water, bottled water, gluten-free cookies, fruit bars, and the classic Disney Parks pickles. In addition, the second new location opening this month will allow Guests to experience Daisy Duck’s “expert culinary skills” at Café Daisy.

Choose from a yummy selection of different flavors, such as the Daisy Dog all-beef foot-long hotdog, the Cheesy Pizza Flop-Pver or Pepperoni Pizza Flop-Over, and even the plant-based Spring Garden Wrap, which mixes quinoa and romaine lettuce with creamy lemon dressing and toasted pumpkin seeds. Plus, Daisy’s Dressed-up Dogm, which features chili-cheese sauce, mac & cheese, and parmesan potato crispies, is something more adventurous to pair with your Picnic Time Watermelon Lemonade or Specialty Cold Brrr-ew with Joffrey’s Coffee & Tea Co. Caramel Mudslide Cold Brew!

What’s more, all meals come with a side of house-made Toontown ‘Tater Chips and you can even add chili-cheese sauce and finish it all off with cinnamon sugar Daisy’s Goody-Goody Donuts. Of course, Café Daisy will offer both onsite service as well as mobile order accommodation.

Disneyland Park Guests can enjoy all these goodies and more when Mickey’s Toontown expansion is finally complete on March 19, 2023.

If guests love cuisine inspired by the Golden State, then they are going to want to check out this Foodie Guide because we’ve got a first look at the full menu for the Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival. This returning flavor favorite will start serving up can’t-miss eats and sips on March 3 and will run through April 25, 2023, at Disney California Adventure park.

From mouthwatering treats to must-try sips, there is plenty to taste across 12 festival marketplaces.

If they are looking for plant-based options, this year Paradise Garden Grill will be serving up a plant-based menu for guests to treat themselves too!

The festival marketplaces aren’t the only places guests can indulge in some delicious flavors. All throughout Disney California Adventure park and even at Downtown Disney District, guests can taste their way through California staples. If they want an enhanced feasting experience, they may consider the Sip and Savor Pass, a special, commemorative credential that lets them try up to eight different food and non-alcoholic beverage items at participating locations anytime throughout the festival. Whether guests use all eight tabs yourself – or split with a friend – they can purchase theirs at various locations throughout Disney California Adventure park.

For those wanting an even more special experience, there are unique bookable experiences available at both the Disneyland Hotel and Disney Grand Californian Hotel & Spa as well! Over at the Disneyland Hotel, guests will find the Trader Sam’s Tiki Mixology Seminar where they’ll learn to make one of their legendary libations – the HippopotoMai-Tai – then enjoy some sweet-and-spicy snacks and get a souvenir tiki mug to take home with them. Meanwhile, the Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa Food and Wine Experience is a can’t-miss. Here, guests will be able to meet the chefs, sommeliers, and art historians from the resort as they sip on expertly paired wines and plates from the Hearthstone Lounge. Be sure to check availability for these exciting experiences offered this year.

As everyone can see, there’s limitless foodie fun to have at Disneyland Resort for the festival this year and all across our Disney Parks!

Now, let’s get to the good part, shall we? We now present to you the Foodie Guide to the Disney California Adventure Food & Wine Festival. Bon appétit!
