My grandfather, Dr. Ferdinand Mehrlich, was a food scientist and the Vice president of research for Dole Pineapple. His team was tasked with coming up with methods of marketing the pineapple juice which for the most part was seen as a waste bi-product. His work led to the creation of the Dole Whip. It brings me great joy knowing so many love his invention. Thank you for sharing some of its history.
@@MidwaytoMainStreet RedEyeFlyGuy 2 seconds ago Well, people called being fed lobster cruel and unusual punishment at one point and apparently, tomatoes were poisonous. Moral of the story: people can be misguided but ultimately, they will see the way forward...eventually.

For many people, getting a Dole Whip is a tradition in the same way that getting a Mickey Bar is. Being in the parks is what makes it special. You could have Mickey shaped icecream outside of property, but it's just not the same. As someone who went to Disney every couple years when I was little, I never had this tradition of getting a Dole Whip because no one in my family was aware of it. Having finally tried it this year, I was blown away by how good it was, and it's incredibly refreshing in the Florida heat.
I made the mistake of totally forgetting about the pineapple Dole whip on my first trip to Disney a couple weeks ago 😓 I got a floating citrus whirl (orange and vanilla ice cream with soda) and it was not good. The line was huge and a Disney worker even came to warn us it wasn't for the pineapple flavor and he didn't want us to wait so long and end up disappointed. I didn't think once about it 😱
well since they changed the ice pop from soft ice cream to hard chocolate cover I am very sad and lost the last thing that held me to Disney when young.
You could go to a place in Epcot to get dole whip short lines normally idk if it is still there but it is dole whip maybe called pineapple ice cream or something but it's at the first Port Refreshment on your right at the entrance to the World Showcase
The reason people say that there is a difference between Dole Whip and Dole Soft Serve is just one has the Disneyland/World environment to influence them on a subconscious level and the other doesn't but tastes the very same,people.
Having been well-traveled and a big fan of Dole Whip, I can proudly say that I've had Dole Whip at Disneyland, Disney World, and the Dole Pineapple plantation and I had a point to writing this but a bird just hit my window bye
Ok let's be honest. Dole whip twist (vanilla and pineapple) is the best. They sell them at the Polynesian resort and Aulani. They are not called Dole Whip's though. They just call it soft serve ice cream.
There is a restaurant across the street from my office in Seattle, WA that has Dole Whip on sale and it is dangerous to be so close to it, I get it probably once a week (at least). There should be a Dole Whip-ipedia out there, a site where people can drop a pin at a location that sells Dole Whip outside the parks so Disney fans know where they can get their fix between visits.
I really enjoyed this video, looks like you have a new series on your hand! The random food at Disney. My vote is the random turkey leg / chimichanga stalls. I love Disney's chimichangas. Also The frozen bananas at Disney are the absolute best! I don't know why or what's different about them, but they're awesome!
I’ve always had this tradition of eating mini donuts right before we went on our first ride, which is and always will be Pirates of the Caribbean at Magic Kingdom, with my grandpa ever since I could remember m. I feel like if I at mini donuts outside of Disney, it wouldn’t be the same, cause the tradition will always be in my heart.
I only recently found out that you could get a dole whip outside of the parks, I just happened to stumble across it in a froyo shop. I kid you not, I almost cried.
FYI - In 2012, Kent Precision Foods (the manufacturer) told me that they use no peanuts in any of their products, so Dole Whips are effectively peanut-free. They do have coconut oil in them, so keep that in mind if you are allergic. Also they are dairy-free for you vegans.
Awesome timing! I just went to Menchies here in Penfield NY (suburb of Rochester, NY) and got a "Dole Pineapple Soft Serve Sorbet" (aka "Dole Whip") to see that Menchies now carries "Dole Whip Pineapple Float"... ACTUALLY CALLED DOLE WHIP IN THE STORE!!! WHOOOO! I of course already had served my huge bowl of 'whip, so I'll have to go back to get a float. :D :D :D
Nice! Similarly, I was inspired to make this video after going to Long Beach Island for a weekend this month and saw Dole Whip being sold at an ice cream shop!
As for it being fresher in Hawaii, all Dole Whip comes from factories in the US. So any Pineapple products are shipped here and the Dole Whip mix is sent back.
I had one in Disneyland earlier this year and I didn't think it was that special like I'd go around to all my friends going "Ohh you've got to have a Dole whip!"
first food item at Disney is always churros and then a Dolewhip before lunch, I think it's the ambiance that make the unique to association with Disneyland
There was a Dole stand at the Minnesota State Fair last year (it might’ve been there previous years, idk) and they had Dole Whips there! I got two, yuuuuummy!
What perfect timing! Last week I was comparing Disney memories with a buddy at work and I was amazed to hear he has never had a Dole whip and has never been to the Tiki Room (he has been to the park numerous times too)! I sent him this video and is now going to experience both in September when revisiting Disneyland on his honeymoon. Great video Rob!
I prefer the Citrus swirl. That's been around longer than 1986. Can you do a video on that? My text notification on my phone is the monorail safety message, and my ring tone is the tiki room. Ole.
I first had one in the late 80's / early 90's at the PNE in Vancouver, BC. The last time I saw it here recently, was at an event or hockey game at the Colosseum.
I was so thrilled when the Pineapple Lanai opened at Polynesian! Dole Whips are a trip staple for my family, but I can only take the Magic Kingdom in very small doses before my nerves start fraying. It's such a relief to be able to hop a monorail to Polynesian and get a Dole Whip float that can be enjoyed in the peace of the outdoor seating area instead of the screaming hectic chaos of the Magic Kingdom!
Great video man! I'm West Coast and though I've tried other people's Dole Whip many times, I've never been willing to wait in the massive line that wraps around Disneyland's Enchanted Tiki Room. For some reason, a lot of Disneyland fans are convinced that that's literally the only place to get it. Haha. Thanks for the info, now I'm prepared for a rebuttal next time one of my crazy Disneyland fan friends tells me it's exclusive to Anaheim;)
I've had annual passes since I was a little girl and never heard of dole whips until they moved orange bird into the bigger tiki hunt and dole to the little one by the tree house. The lines were huge and I could only assumed they were a new thing. So interesting to hear they aren't. I had my first dole whip a couple months ago (with the cool skull cup!) and it was pretty good! I've been missing out! (But I could do without the juice haha)
Yes don't dis the Dole Whip, most people think its made from Pixie Dust and Unicorn poop. But just like sausage if you like them don't look up the ingredient list. ;)
We were just talking about Dole Whips the other day! There aren't any other variations to Dole Whips at Disney, right? It's just the regular style and the float?
From what I’ve seen at the dole plantation and at Disney world, they’re mostly the same, with the only difference was that (if I remember correctly) they had a banana split dole whip, and a dole whip in a special plastic pineapple cup at the plantation
I like Dole Whips, but I can get them at the Minnesota state fair and several county fairs as a pineapple / raspberry swirl and that is the BEST. Yum! I usually get the citrus swirl at WDW, I have not been able to find that anywhere else and it is my favorite treat in the parks!
Hey rob I was playing mc magic and you know there's an apartment made for u if you don't know what it is just say take me to the secret comedy club or do /warp se. I think you really deserve it for all the amazing Disney stuff you have done for Disney you make me laugh so much and you made me a better disneyfreak so thank you!🙂
Six Flags over Texas has a similar item called a Dole Swirl. It tastes pretty much the same I think but it obviously tastes better when being eaten in front of Jungle Cruise.
I for one make it a staple to get one every day I'm at Disneyland. I usually make a clockwise-ish loop of the park and when I get off the jungle cruise attraction, I get in line for a Dole Whip. I don't get them any other time. Just like the mint julep and beignets, near the Haunted Mansion.
Yall know the greatest thing about Dole Whip... It IS served in two locations in Disney World one at the Tiki Shack and another at Epcot (Really!) It is in an unassuming port stand right on your left in the Canada Pavilion near the entrance to world show case but doesn't come as a float but if you're fast enough you can put Pineapple Fanta into the Whip from the coke place
I've seen dole whips at a lot of Middle East and Indian restaurants. Usually they have the classic flavor and Mango(which is better imho). A lot of things I have heard people call "Disney" food is really just fair food. I've heard people attribute corn dogs and turkey legs to Disney and neither of those are anywhere near exclusive to the land of the mouse.
You just made me incredibly thirsty, unfortunately I'm about 5000 miles from Disney so I'll just have a beer 😢 I must congratulate you on your videos Rob. They're succinct, informative and entertaining. Best of all I can watch them in the time it takes to make a nice cup of tea.
That end part made me crack up so much where he said were the kind of people to take a million photos in front of a purple wall and buy a t shirt of the Spanish monorail safety msg
Rob I think you didn't mention that Dole Whips were originally not dairy free, then changed towards dairy free and also vegan too! This Disney wiki is pretty old but, I did read that they changed it some point between 2013-2014 for guests with different food allergies. disney.wikia.com/wiki/Dole_Whip
There's a frozen soft serve place at my nearby Stater Brothers and it happens to sell the flavor. It's not even a fancy place. In fact, it gets pretty cramped rather quickly. Rather surprised such a small business even has it.
I just took my 5th trip to Disney last week and I had my first ever Dole Whip. I never knew they existed until I started watching Disney vloggers. It 100% lived up to expectations
living 3 hours away from Disneyland and multiple trips a year from the time i was a small child untill now, a grown adult. I've never hand the dole whip, this has to change on my next trip!
I just came from Honolulu Hawaii a few months ago, and Dole Whip was everywhere! In fact I had them at the Dole plantation, but I didn't find them all that fantastic, I mean it was good, but I can imagine on a pineapple float would be much better!
I work at an ice cream shop and we sell dole whip :) we'll sell one flavor at a time and currently the pineapple flavor is available. Strawberry is a nice flavor. Most of the flavors are very tart so strawberry is a nice sweet change
When I went to Disney world during my senior trip I had never heard of the dole whip but tried it on suggestion from one of my former teachers. I freakin loved it. The perfect treat for a hot day in the magic kingdom :)
Your video just popped up this morning; so glad it did as I was seriously in need of a feel good story. Lifetime DL fan (I'm a good bit older than Dole Whip), and DW is in my top three must have treats when visiting DL or MK. Eat it with a pineapple spear; it's heavenly.! Thanks so much for posting this. You get a new sub (me!) as a reward... lol
I'm one of those crazy Dole Whip purists who will tell you that Dole Whips outside of Disney and the Dole plantation often don't taste the same. I personally think it has to do with the machine used to produce the product. We have a food truck in my area that sells it and it is spot on exactly the same as Disney's. However the two frozen yogurt shops in town sell it and it is not as good, the consistency and flavor are off. Which leads me to believe that either the frozen yogurt shops aren't measuring and mixing correctly, or their machines produce an inferior result.
your conclusion is very accurate. but the reason we do this i feel is more due to "disney magic" when ppl ask me why i need a dole whip when here in vegas we have so many food feasts that have dole whips. i always say bc it has Disney magic sprinkled on it lol. but i love this video. lol. you channel is a recent discovery and im glad I found it. i enjoy it alot.
I was penpals with the man who did the birdcalls in the Enchanted Tiki Room. He was A. Purvis Pullen, and he performed under the stage name of Dr. Horatio Q. Birdbath. He was a skilled animal mimic, who did bird & animal mimicry in cartoons, and played clarinet and did animal mimicry in the 1940s-50s comedy band, Spike Jones & His City Slickers.
I have tried dole whip and i have never actually been to any Disney parks. It's because my city has a midway sort of thing and there is an Icecream booth that claims to be "the home of the original Dole whip" or something like that sells Dole whips. So i was aware that Dole whips were not Disney exclusive. (Also is places claiming something as their own as the place claimed they were the home of the Dole whip even allowed?)
They sell Dole whips at the theme park I work at but they're so overpriced, the regular price gets you basically a shotglass filled with Dole whip and the only other option is a small float. I think Disney is a little more generous with how much Dole whip they give you.
My grandfather, Dr. Ferdinand Mehrlich, was a food scientist and the Vice president of research for Dole Pineapple. His team was tasked with coming up with methods of marketing the pineapple juice which for the most part was seen as a waste bi-product. His work led to the creation of the Dole Whip.

That's so awesome! Also as someone who loves pineapple juice, it's crazy to me that it used to be seen as a waste byproduct.

Same with the roasted turkey leg...
So true on that last part of us taking weird things and obsessing over them
It is! I love how he zoomed in on the Tiki Room trashcan because I have the same thing just in ornament form! Like yep.....we totally do that!
Truth
Having been well-traveled and a big fan of Dole Whip, I can proudly say that I've had Dole Whip at Disneyland, Disney World, and the Dole Pineapple plantation and I had a point to writing this but a bird just hit my window bye
Is the bird okay?
Me too! I also had some at Disney's Aulani as well.
Same 👍🏻
So which one is the best?
Ok let's be honest. Dole whip twist (vanilla and pineapple) is the best. They sell them at the Polynesian resort and Aulani. They are not called Dole Whip's though. They just call it soft serve ice cream.
Average Fanboy 1128 actually just soft serve. Legally they can't call it ice cream since it has no milk fat.
i never knew i wanted this video until it was made, and i'm happy about it!
This is approaching peak Disney fetishism. Look at the ingredients, it's the same fake-food chemical soup that we all eat: sugar, starch, gums & oils.
Fnu Lnu That could be said about almost all foods, though. The difference is the way they're put together and with what flavorings and in what form.
Elyza Ware Definetly. It’s kind of huge.

Lucky! Have a good trip!

I had one last month

Right next to the Aladdin ride at Disney World, if anyone is wondering!! Had two yesterday ;)
I've still yet to have a Dole Whip.
Matthew Schooley WHAT!?!??????!!
Dude, it MUST be your destiny!
Yeah; I've lived in Orlando my whole life and yet never had a Dole Whip.
Matthew Schooley same
Head on over to the Polynesian and grab one at the Pineapple Lanai. No park ticket needed.
Mixing actual pineapple juice with the Dole whip however, is AMAAAAZZZZIIIINNNGGG!!!
Fanta pineapple and dole whip is better

Wait what we do? Where. I need to head on by to get one..
Timmy Jung Kings Dominion has them too
Busch Gardens started?
Sweet.... (pun intended)
how do you make them at home????
I lived by the Tampa one when I was young. I didn't know there were others.

After a long hot day of tripping on acid at Disney World, one of those felt like a gift from the god.
ThomasRocksU Tripping sounds potentially terrifying at a theme park. I almost did it at my grad night, but someone got caught.
ThomasRocksU I suggest you don't do that.😂😂😂😂😂
Please, no acid on disney property. The mouse might try some.

Captain Cooks at the Polynesian resort used to have a self serve dole whip machine.
You can get one at Pineapple Whip in Springfield, MO
When I went to Disney world during my senior trip I had never heard of the dole whip but tried it on suggestion from one of my former teachers. I freakin loved it. The perfect treat for a hot day in the magic kingdom :)
Your video just popped up this morning; so glad it did as I was seriously in need of a feel good story. Lifetime DL fan (I'm a good bit older than Dole Whip), and DW is in my top three must have treats when visiting DL or MK. Eat it with a pineapple spear; it's heavenly.! Thanks so much for posting this. You get a new sub (me!) as a reward... lol
Thanks! Hope you enjoy the videos!
Oooh, so that's why I never had Dole Whip when I was at Disneyland when I was a kid... I'm old.
I'm one of those crazy Dole Whip purists who will tell you that Dole Whips outside of Disney and the Dole plantation often don't taste the same. I personally think it has to do with the machine used to produce the product. We have a food truck in my area that sells it and it is spot on exactly the same as Disney's. However the two frozen yogurt shops in town sell it and it is not as good, the consistency and flavor are off. Which leads me to believe that either the frozen yogurt shops aren't measuring and mixing correctly, or their machines produce an inferior result.
this is absolutely my favorite disney youtube channel, you are the best dude. keep making these excellent videos!!
your conclusion is very accurate. but the reason we do this i feel is more due to "disney magic" when ppl ask me why i need a dole whip when here in vegas we have so many food feasts that have dole whips. i always say bc it has Disney magic sprinkled on it lol. but i love this video. lol. you channel is a recent discovery and im glad I found it. i enjoy it alot.
You can get this stuff at the Minnesota state fair! It’s the best!
Had something like a Dol Whip at my State Fair. It was so good and it was in a pineapple 🍍 so even better.
My Menchie's has it often! Toss on some gummy bears and I'm happy as a clam.
I was penpals with the man who did the birdcalls in the Enchanted Tiki Room. He was A. Purvis Pullen, and he performed under the stage name of Dr. Horatio Q. Birdbath. He was a skilled animal mimic, who did bird & animal mimicry in cartoons, and played clarinet and did animal mimicry in the 1940s-50s comedy band, Spike Jones & His City Slickers.
There's a chain of ice cream parlors called Lappert's that sells Dole Whip.
I have tried dole whip and i have never actually been to any Disney parks. It's because my city has a midway sort of thing and there is an Icecream booth that claims to be "the home of the original Dole whip" or something like that sells Dole whips. So i was aware that Dole whips were not Disney exclusive. (Also is places claiming something as their own as the place claimed they were the home of the Dole whip even allowed?)
You're videos are awesome, Rob! Thank you so much! :)
Dole whip now available on Disney Cruise Line!
They sell Dole whips at the theme park I work at but they're so overpriced, the regular price gets you basically a shotglass filled with Dole whip and the only other option is a small float. I think Disney is a little more generous with how much Dole whip they give you.
The first time I saw dole whip at Menchis the illusion was shattered :(
I am heading to Disneyland tomorrow, 1st thing I always get is a Dole Whip Float !
OMG I NEED THAT DOLE WHIP CANDLE FOR MY COLLECTION
I love dole whip! 🍍🍍🍍 I would love to see more videos about dole whip. ☺ 🍍🍍🍍 pineapple is my favorite.
This has got to be my most favorite channel on TH-cam. I've learned so much.
Why thank you so much! Glad you enjoy the videos!
