This is a great spot to stop for a treat while visiting the Polynesian Resort. Located right outside of the lobby on the way to the pool area is this stand. The line seems long, but moves quickly. Our table tried the vanilla ice cream, the dole whip float and the holiday float which was pineapple and lime. All of them are great and we loved the treat during our visit. read more

Love having this spot as a quick treat option when staying at the Polynesian Resort! The options here are limited and certainly not expansive as the spots within MK. You can get either vanilla or pineapple soft serve, you can make it a float with pineapple juice, or you can get a float + rum. I would love if they had POG juice to try here. Everyone always raves about that. They do have a few tables that are covered if you are interested in enjoying your treat there. The tables did get very dirty though and crowded. The line does get really long in the evenings surrounding the fireworks so just be sure to plan ahead if need be! read more

Pineapple Lanai - Desserts Near Me - Orlando, Florida

I have loved Dole whips since I had my first one at the Dole plantation on Oahu. I love that Disney has multiple places to get Dole whip. Depending on where you are in the parks or resorts they have seasonal flavors and multiple options at a time. This Lanai at the Polynesian is very nice. There are just a few tables and it was a good, relaxing spot while visiting the resorts during Christmas. The prices weren't bad. I like that there are dairy and non-dairy options so there is something for everyone in your party. Its absolute must if you are on property and crave a Dole whip. read more

An amazing bonus when staying at this hotel, having our own dole whip on property! The line can get longer I believe closer to night time but when we got ours, the employee Jacob made my bday memorable with these dole whips! Obviously very delicious and couldn't go wrong with the special dole whip that they had: Mickey Pumpkin Soft serve (pumpkin spice with coconut-haupia with caramel drizzle, graham cracker crumbs and a white chocolate mickey shaped pumpkin on top)! We went when there was no line (around 4:23 pm on 09/02/25) so that was even better! read more

When you are visiting the Polynesian resort, definitely indulge in a sweet treat here! After having such a big dinner, my mom and I still made room for a pineapple dole whip. This is a walk-up window right outside the back door of the lobby and to the left. Ordering was an easy process. I got the small pineapple dole whip. There were plenty of tables to sit at outside. The sweet treat was delicious. The pineapple flavor has a real pineapple flavor and is not artificial at all. It is mixed with vanilla ice cream that was creamy. Definitely get you one. This is a great location because it is on the way to the pool or back into the hotel. The seating is covered, which is great due to the unpredictability of Florida weather. This spot really makes you feel the Polynesian vibes. read more

Yum! There's nothing bad about dole whip! Pineapple Lanai sits just outside the main lobby area of the Polynesian. It's a little walk up window with some tables and chairs. Their menu is limited to dole whip, dole whip swirl (with ice cream) and dole whip float (with pineapple juice). You can also add a rum floater to any of them. Dole whip is, of course, delicious either on its own or in the float. If you get the rum floater, they give it to you in a little plastic shot glass and you pour it yourself. It's a little awkward but certainly not a deal breaker. Portions are generous-I always get the float and then always struggle to finish it. Prices are maybe a little bit high but then again, it is Disney. read more

While staying at the Polynesian Resort during our visit at Disney World, my family and I had to stop by the Pineapple Lanai at least one day! This spot offers dole whips at the Polynesian Resort. The line can get lengthy, but it does move pretty quick! At the Pineapple Lanai, you can get traditional soft serve swirls and floats! You can choose a souvenir Tiki Sippers as well! The flavors are pineapple, vanilla or swirl. If you're looking for the Pineapple Lanai, it's outside the great Ceremonial House at the Disney Polynesian Village Resort. Service was quick and the team members were friendly! The prices aren't too bad, between $5-6 depending if you choose a soft serve or a float. The dole whip was delicious! My husband got a pineapple float and he enjoyed it! I'd highly recommend stopping by here if you're visiting the Polynesian or looking to take a quick break from the theme parks! read more

During our stay at the Polynesian, we always had to come here at least once a day, sometimes even twice a day, lol. It beats going to the park, and you can just relax while having your dole whip.

Pineapple Lanai - Outside sitting area/ line - Desserts Near Me - Orlando, Florida

We came to the Polynesian Resort knowing it was one of the only places that have Dole Whip outside the park (at least off the top of my head). To start, this place is located outside of the resort and there isn't much seating in front of Pineapple Lanai. We got a Pineapple Float to share and the guy at the register offered us the add on of a shot of Rum on the side to which we said, why not. It's about what you expect as far as Dole Whip in pineapple juice but the rum definitely went well with everything. Very big portion so I'd recommend sharing if you just want a pineapple sugar bomb. read more

Perfect for that Dole Whip craving! There are also special Dole Whip flavors you can't find at the park or other resorts! Super convenient location too! Just go straight into the resort, then go back out the next set of doors and turn left. I was in the mood for some soft serve and ordered a swirl: pineapple and vanilla. From the texture to the refreshing and comforting fruity/cream flavors, I enjoyed every bite! I was also tempted to try the 'Olu Mel float because it's lime flavored, but I couldn't eat that much sugar in one sitting :(. Hope someone enjoys one for me! read more

Pineapple Lanai - Pineapple float - Desserts Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Dole Whip... at a resort... with the option to add booze. I mean... how is this NOT a five-star review automatically?! Okay, in all seriousness, this really is a great little spot. If you're at the Polynesian resort, main house, go towards the back in the main lobby and out the sliding glass doors. Turn left, and there it is, a little gem situated in a resort instead of in a crowded park. Dole Whips have their own cult following, and I have to admit I get the fever. They're so tasty! This location can also do swirls with vanilla soft-serve, and they also make Dole Whip Floats (your choice of DW or soft-serve with pineapple juice). So good! They also offer a Dole Whip Float with a shot of coconut rum! Yes, it's delicious, though honestly the rum hides very quickly with the size and flavor of the float. But, that's okay, you can just take the shot separately if you want, they serve it on the side. That's all they serve: ice cream, Dole Whip, floats, and mixtures between the above. It's that simple. And simply delicious. Whether we're staying at this resort or just stopping by for a meal, we have to go to the Lanai for a Dole Whip! read more

Dole Whip, you invade my dreams!! Everyone in Magic Kingdom has the booth slammed waiting for Dole Whip. Standing in the hot Florida Sun, preposterous! Why wait when you can go to the window at the Polynesian hotel and get your whip on? They even have tables and chairs to enjoy you pineapple confectionery creation. I must point out, the country is divided? So are the Dole Whippers. Some say Dole Whip should be pure as the snow. Pineapple only. Ain't nobody got time for that nonsense! "I" prefer the swirl, half vanilla soft serve ice cream. It cuts the pineapple sharpness and the end result is quite lovely. It's the only controversy left that Disney didn't muck up. Don't get your pineapples twisted, choose what you like and don't let the influencers make a choice for you. read more

Pineapple Lanai - Pineapple Dole Whip - Desserts Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Nice little tucked away kiosk at Disney's Polynesian Resort that serves Dole Whip. It comes in 3 flavours now, not just pineapple: lime, vanilla and pineapple. Rumor is there are also other flavours but that yesterday's offerings. You can also get it with a shot of coconut rum if you're over 21, and make it into a delicious concoction. (I highly recommend this). Stop by, get the kids a pineapple whip and yourselves an adult one to enjoy. You will thank me. read more

I've had the Pineapple Whip at Magic Kingdom and it was decent. I was reluctant to give it a go when visiting the Polynesian, but SO glad I did. The Pineapple Lanai would be easy to pass by. Don't. The staff was super friendly and rolled with my handful of questions with ease. My twist was superb and truly a great value for a Disney treat. Light, tasty and it knocks it out of the park! We ate at the Polynesian Beach watching the boats come in and the sun beginning to set. Truly couldn't ask for a better vibe or dessert. Its worth a hop on -hop off the monorail. read more

Pineapple Lanai - Desserts Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Wow, wow, wow! This tucked away little spot at the Polynesian Resort is right next to Captain Cook's although it sits directly outside under an enclosed patio. This is the only place you can get Dole whips offsite from the theme parks. Be aware of the fact that due to popularity of this place expect very long lines!!! The only time you may get to avoid these lines is when it rains which is exactly what I did. My husband and I had just finished eating at Captain Cook's and seeing the rain looked over at Pineapple lanai and only one person was in line!! We got in line immediately. I ordered the " 50th celebration" pineapple Dole whip that came with a white chocolate edible medallion and a tiny umbrella for garnish while my husband had the regular pineapple Dole whip. We were able to sit right there in the small seating area to enjoy our treats. They were so good!!! You can also get it as a lime whip but I prefer the traditional pineapple flavor. It wasn't heavy and made the perfect dessert for us. In addition to the Dole whip you can purchase a pineapple float, a Dole whip with rum floater, soft serve in either pineapple, vanilla or swirl soft serve, and finally a pineapple float in a souvenir Tiki sipper. The menu isn't extensive but just enough to satisfy my Dole whip craving. Dole whips are dairy free as well! They are definitely worth the wait! read more

A little gem here on WDW property, a great spot that offers the exclusive Dole Whips at the Polynesian Village Resort. It's a great price $5 for the huge portion size you get. The line can sometimes be long but they only serve ice cream so it ends up going by fast. And is well worth it for the delicious pineapple soft serve ice cream. A must visit whenever nearby riding around on the Monorail or staying at the resort. read more

This used to be the only location outside of Adventureland at the Magic Kingdom and Disneyland where you could get Dole Whip. While that is no longer the case it is well worth a stop if you are visiting the Polynesian Resort. The traditional Dole Whip is Pineapple Soft Serve Ice Cream. My favorite version is swirled with Vanilla Soft Serve and served with Pineapple Juice as Dole Whip float. However I don't think you can go wrong with any of the traditional options. On this most recent visit knowing that I would have a chance to get my favorite version at the Magic Kingdom later in the week I decided to try a new option that they had called the Te Fiti. Te Fiti (based on the character from Moana) consists of Lime Dole Whip topped by an edible flower. Pineapple is still my favorite but I enjoyed the lime as well and would order again. read more

Pineapple Lanai is a Dole Whip stand located in the Polynesian resort right by their pool. Usually Dole stores are inside Disney parks but I was so happy to find one here. Dole Whip is a pineapple soft frozen dessert. It can be serve by itself or with pineapple juice. You can also get it with a shot of rum. I love dole whip. It's so refreshing and it brings summer memories back. What's amazing about it is its completely vegan and gluten free so everyone can enjoy it. Here in Pineapple Lanai Dole Whip is $4.99 or $11 with a shot of coconut rum but prices may vary with location. ESPAÑOL Pineapple Lanai es un stand de Dole Whip ubicado en el complejo polinesio junto a su piscina. Por lo general, las tiendas Dole están dentro de los parques de Disney, pero estaba muy feliz de encontrar uno aquí. Dole Whip es un postre congelado de piña. Se puede servir solo o con zumo de piña. También puedes conseguirlo con un trago de ron. Me encanta el Dole. Es tan refrescante y trae recuerdos de verano.

So it's not secret I love dole whips. They taste amazing and are dairy free which this lactose intolerant girl loves. It's nice to have an option to get them outside of the magic kingdom. On a Saturday night this place is popular. The line moved fairly quick. Tonight they had pineapple, vanilla, lime and cherry. I was able to sample the cherry and decided it tasted pretty good. They also allowed me to get part cherry and part pineapple. So the service was excellent and of course the quality. I will continue to return here on my trips to Disney. read more

This is a pre-COVID review. Nice that WDW lets you swirl flavors. They give your the option of pineapple, lemon, lime, and sometimes they have another specialty flavor. We got the classic Dole Whip and again, it is ok, but I prefer to have the citrus swirl. I will say that I like that WDW and the Pineapple Lanai let you swirl vanilla soft serve with your pineapple dole whip so I will say that is a positive point that goes to WDW's version of the treat. It is super convenient to visit the Pineapple Lanai when you are staying at the Polynesian Resort and it's nice that you can get your fix of dole whip without going into the parks. read more

The Pineapple Lanai is located in a small space outside the Polynesian Resort (first floor through the sliding doors). You can only get the classic pineapple Dole Whip or vanilla combo swirl here - cups ($5.49), Pineapple Floats ($6.29) and Rum Floaters ($14). For other flavors, go to Disney Springs Swirls on the Water or Magic Kingdom Aloha Isle. The Pineapple Floats are delicious - plus you get more Dole Whip with the floats (compared to many of the posted photos, the cup portion size served here has shrunk to barely two swirls). read more

Along with Trader Sam's Grog Grotto, this is the best thing to ever happen to the Polynesian Village Resort. I personally feel that the Poly is the least "deluxe" out of all of Disney's deluxe resorts (sorry not sorry). But it has one thing that other resorts don't: the Dole WHIP. Yes, the infamous Dole Whip - the creamy, refreshing, pineapple soft-serve that's only sold two places on Disney property: at Aloha Isle in the Magic Kingdom and now here at Pineapple Lanai. The WHIPs used to be sold at nearby Captain Cooks, but sometime over the past few years there were major renovations at the Poly and they built this beauty which is just steps outside the Great Ceremonial House. While they basically just serve the Dole Whip, you can get it a number of ways: plain, swirled with vanilla soft serve, in a float with pineapple juice, or infused with rum - ahh! Cool, refreshing, and not that bad calorically (really - I looked it up). You must stop here if you're staying at the Poly or if you're just anywhere in the vicinity. Disney knows what we like, and they totally came through. read more

Pineapple Lanai - pineapple fantasy! - Desserts Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Refreshing One must try while at Disney's Polynesian Resort is the Dole Whip, a smooth frozen pineapple treat. Similar to a soft-serve ice cream, I found this cup to be cold and refreshing. On these hot Florida days, this was a welcome relief. Pineapple Lanai is a small counter place just behind the Great Ceremonial House with some tables. They offer a few other items besides the Whip, like a float with pineapple juice. The person taking the orders and making the desserts was pleasant. My one gripe is their ability to make this great looking twisted cup of whip with a hollow center. We had several and with each, the whip roping around the outside up to a point looked pretty, but more could have been included in the center part of the cup. read more

One of the few places you can get Disney's famous dole whip, this small kiosk is nestled within the Polynesian Resort. They also offer pineapple and vanilla soft serve which you can enjoy while taking in the beautiful ambiance of the hotel. I prefer getting the dole whip with vanilla ice cream or even the swirl. It balances out the acidity of the pineapple juice quite well. Regardless of your preference, if you're craving a Dole Whip this is the place for you! read more

Never did I ever realize you can nosh on a sought-after Dole Whip anywhere aside from Magic Kingdom! Ah yes, it's true! I swear Bob Varley from The Dis made these the legend they are! If you're at the Polynesian Resort and have a hankering for the fruity treat, head to Pineapple Lanai (opened in 2014) right outside the main lobby of the Great Ceremonial House on the first floor. It's simply a quick service window you go up & order from and the line can get long! They have some patio seating around the window or you can grab your whip and nae nae away. The menu is super simple - you either get a Dole Whip or a Dole Whip Float (which is a dole whip pineapple juice). Then you pick Pineapple or Pineapple swirled with vanilla. Done and done. What the heck is a Dole Whip anyways? It's simply pineapple soft serve but on a hot Florida day, it's a perfectly refreshing dessert under $5! Pro-Tip: Grab a Dole Whip and head to the Polynesian beach to watch the Electrical Water Pageant roll by. read more

I believe that this is the only place at Disney World to get Dole Whip outside of a theme park. Service is from an outdoor window and there are nearby covered tables and chairs just outside the rear entrance of the Great Ceremonial House (the Polynesian's lobby). A yummy pineapple Dole Whip is especially refreshing on a hot summer day. Now things got more complicated because they also offer lime flavor as well. I like the lime Heart of Te Fiti Cone that is served with an edible orchid. Here is a little secret, they also have lemon flavor. It's not on the menu. You have to ask for the lemon-flavored Dole Whip, but they have it. You can also get a cup of half lemon and half lime swirled in a cup. read more

It doesn't get much better then a Dole Whip, especially while strolling the grounds of the tropical Polynesian Resort. There are a lot of places to get a Dole Whip throughout WDW, but this is probably my favorite. It just feels so.... on brand. It's a tradition to ride the monorail, stop at the Polynesian, maybe grab a drink at Trader Sam's, and finish it off with a delicious Dole Whip while sitting outside enjoying the scenery. The menu really only has one thing - so the question is how do you like your Dole Whip? Personally, I stick to the original swirl. read more
