Disneyworld was so right this time, for so many reasons. First of all, the kids are finally old enough to go on the teacups alone. 
That saved the Quiet Man and I at least 72.3 arguments. No one had to make the supreme dizzy sacrifice of taking two wild and crazy kids on such spinning madness. They're also old enough to go on some roller coasters. I begged everyone to go on Space Mountain with me. 
Oh please oh please oh please it will be so much fun and you'll never regret it. Oh please oh please. They all loved it. Except me. (I did the same thing on Tower of Terror, Mount Everest, and Thunder Mountain. I just can't seem to accept the fact that I am not a teenaged roller coaster lovin' screamer anymore. Sigh.) It seems that Dumbo is just the right amount of thrill for me. 
And even that makes me a little dizzy, but don't tell. I don't want to ruin my reputation completely. I love it all. I'm happy just walking around and taking pictures
and eating. Look at this shot the Quiet Man got. 
Just in case you think I post only good pictures of myself on my blog. Oh, I've got lots of doozies to share with you this week. But speaking of eating, while in line for the Magic Carpet ride, we heard someone singing the praises of Dole Pineapple Whips. Apparently, Dole Pineapple Whips are available in only four locations worldwide: Disneyland, Disneyworld, Disney's Polynesian Resort, and the Dole Plantation in Hawaii. After eavesdropping, we jumped out of line and made a beeline over to Pineapple Whip paradise. Have you had one yet? It's a slushy, refreshing sweet frozen pineapple treat. Once you have it, you know there are only four locations in the world where you can be completely happy. (See list above.) The minute I got home, I jumped online to find a copycat recipe. Yes-it's out there! So now you can add home to that list of locations where you can be completely happy. Home Sweet Pineapple Whips. Join me this week while I share my favorite recipes from all over Disneyworld. (I'm also trying to crack the Butterbeer recipe from Harry Potter world-more on that later.)

Prudy,We love these! These are the only whips allowed in our home. These are Heidi's kryptonite, we get them every time we go to Disneyland while we wait in line for the Tiki Room Show. Ivy likes the little umbrellas and I like getting the last drop at the bottom of the cup after everyone has had their alone time with the Pineapple whip. They are much better tasting than the Klausen dill pickel whips found over in adventureland. Mikey
This is the only food at Disneyland that I will NEVER miss. I love the whips. I've never had the float, but oh, the Dole Whip! I'm pretty sure that their version doesn't have the heavy cream, though, because I've asked for the nutritional info before and it's very light on calories. I wonder if it could be made with evaporated milk? Hmm. I might have to try it. But if now, c'est la vie-- now that I can have a Dole Whip without dropping $1000 to take my family to Disney for one day, I think things are looking up for us!:)
(I'm getting too old to enjoy many of my old favorites, too. The teacups? NO WAY am I getting on those!)
Can't wait to see more of your recipes. Looks like you have a wonderful time.
Michal-the original recipe has no milk or cream. Who knows how they do it? You could try it with evaporated skim milk. Bet it'd be really good. I miss you. Let's make some this summer when you are here for a visit!
Mikey-I can tell you that I'd rather stand in line with someone eating a DoleWhip than with someone eating that pickle. Hee hee. Ivy does like that little umbrella. We have still a ton left over from Reeve's sixth birthday. We always forget we have them, but your kids always find them when they are here.
We did the Disneyland thing in February and had a Dole pineapple soft serve. Best thing I had the whole trip. Might just need to try your recipe.
Those look very good. I would luv them.
Oh. My. Gosh.
This looks so good! I cant wait to try it.
This was our absolute favorite thing from our Disney World trip in November. My daughter will definitely be asking to make this!
Prudencito,
Speaking of standing in line with people eating interesting things at Disneyland (could be a whole new topic for another day including things people eat on airplanes) How about those huge turkey legs? It’s like Thanksgiving every day at Disneyland! I am a huge carnivore but even those leave me scratching my head in wonderment? Not to offend your readers if they are participants, but seriously it appears to always be a pasty person in a muscle shirt with yep, you guessed it a hairy, hairy back (or maybe that was a Chewbacca costume they picked up from Star Tours area) and some random fluorescent Goofy and Mickey 3-D foam hat from the gift shop in line happily knawing on the turkey leg one group in front and one behind you trapping you. And not to mention the aforementioned types look dirt poor but are obviously loaded. Where do they get all of the money (lawsuits??) to buy drumsticks and Neon 3 D foam hats and the souvenir soda cups? Oh never mind, bless their hearts. Sorry, you started the standing in line food topic.
Mikey
Mikey-Yes, the turkey legs are very Henry the VIII. I have to admit that they smell good and I just keep waiting for the day when Shane breaks down and buys one. This last time I felt like the Emperor coaxing Luke to pick up his lightsaber-"You want this, don't you?" But Shane wouldn't budge. He claims he's not interested. I can't believe you two fellas wouldn't want to go get a couple of turkey legs on a Saturday night after a rough week.
We actually got the turkey leg for our Henry the last time we were at Disneyland because it was on the gluten-free menu. He hated it because it was kind of smoky- barbequey instead of more like rotisserie chicken. The truth is that even though Disney makes a great effort to accommodate alternative diets and allergies, Henry had spent all day looking at things that he couldn't eat, so he had a mini-meltdown over the turkey leg. But the point of this story? Jared ate it instead and loved it. And I submit that both Anonymous Mikey and the Quiet Man would love it as well, if they were forced to eat it rather than waste the money:)
Prudy, I CAN'T WAIT for our visit. I am already sad about how short it will be, but so excited to see you again.
There is a frozen yogurt/ice cream joint near me sells Dole Whip..in pineapple and mango.
This trip is looking like such a good time, and since we couldn't go with you , I am glad you are recreating some of the Disney food for us.
As for the giant turkey leg, my mom gets that. We call her Ghengis Kahn as she gnaws away at it. I actually love the little Dole pineapple hut, but I usually just get a pineapple spear since ice cream is not my thing. This is a fun recipe to have though, because I remember Leslie suggesting a Disneyland at home day with churros nd popcorn and movies. This would be a great addition to a Disney party.
I can't wait to see more of your trip. I am dying to get to Harry Potter World and have heard the butterbeer is delicious.
You have no idea how much I love pineapple whip. I'm obsessed. I'm going to make this once the weather warms up!
You were in my neck of the woods!
We had our first and only pineapple whips in Magic Kingdom last time we were there too...so refreshing on a hot day! I have to make these for the fam at home!
You can actually buy the mix for the Dole Whips from Precision Foods and another place in Hawaii but Precision is cheaper $21.31 and that includes shipping. I actually bought some and tried it over the weekend in our ice cream maker and it was the same as what you buy at Disneyland. But much cheaper per serving! I've heard to make it creamier you can use milk instead of water but we used just water and it was really creamy. Here's the link of where to buy it http://www.precisionfoods.com/foodservice/branded_solutions2.cfm?id=103
yes, I've bought from precision too! it's the exact same stuff and sooooo delicious :)
Prudy, I followed this recipe exactly for a dinner party and they were a huge hit. Very refreshing. Next time I am going to try using partially frozen Cool Whip to see if I can make it a little lighter in the calorie department.
Hey, I just found this on Pinterest!! it looks delicious. I'm wondering, do you serve this over soft serve ice cream? Or did you pipe the frozen mixture to look like soft serve?
The Disney Dole Whip is actually dairy free. They sell the mix online at http://www.precisionfoods.com/foodservice/bnd_products_details.cfm?skuid=10922&id=103
You can make it in an ice cream maker or just freeze it in a bag and squish it around too.
I'd rather have whipping cream than all the chemicals in the pre made mix!
You know I am going to be trying this! We adore these, especially the floats! Yummmmmmy! These are our favorite Disney treats too, one every morning for breakfast!
i'm pretty sure they just use water for their dole whips! i worked at a frozen yogurt shop and we used the exact same "dole pineapple froyo" that they do for the frozen part of the whip...all we ever did was add water!
Since my main pregnancy craving is pineapple, I can't WAIT to make this! But I'd Also like to ask.... What is the liquid it's served in? The smaller one is just the whip. What is in the one with the liquid AND whip?
LOVE your blog, LOVE this post, LOOOOOOOOOOOOVE those whips!!! We get one every time we go! We are a bit Disney obsessed and they are a favorite treat! Thanks for the recipe!
Oh wow, I remember have these as a kid in Hawaii. You are awesome, we are making these this weekend.
Im a little confused... the juice over the frozen concoction, is that jist pinapple juice? The recipe just says to reserve 2Tbls of juice. Definitely want to try this!
