Happy Dole Whip Day everyone! One of the best treats at Disney Parks!
Did you know the Dole Whip started back in 1976 when Dole Package Foods become the sponsor of Walt Disney’s Enchanted Tiki Room at Disneyland serving Dole pineapple juice and fresh pineapple spears? A few years after that in 1983, they also become the sponsor of Aloha Isle at Magic Kingdom Park serving the same kind of treats as in Disneyland.
But it was a year later in 1984 where the Dole Whip first appeared at Walt Disney World, and two years later at Disneyland Park. Years later in 2011, the classic treat arrived to Aulani Resort and finally in 2017 at Disney Cruise Line. Now 45 years later, we keep enjoying this treat during our Disney vacation.
