    mickey pumpkin soft serve and pineapple swirl!
    Shaianne P.

    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!

    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.

    When here, get Dole Whip! There really isn't much else to say about the Pineapple Lanai. Anytime you want a Dole Whip, you can get it here! Swimming in the pool... get a Dole Whip Eating lunch... get a Dole Whip Shopping at the gift shop... get a Dole Whip You get the idea, right?! Service is fast and friendly. Lines and be long but move quickly so be ready to order. It's a walk up window with a few tables outside to sit and enjoy your treat.

    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. People who worked there were super nice and even told me about the seasonal offerings they had.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    While at the Polynesian Resort Hotel at Disney World we stopped at the Pineapple Lanai and had some treats. The service was great the price reasonable and the treats were great. Will return.

    I love dole whip and I love the accessibility to it at the Polynesian resort! It's so refreshing and light and just the perfect treat to combat the Florida heat and humidity. Just make sure you eat it quick because it melts so fast and they fill your cup full so it just runs all over your fingers.

    Service was quick! It's not the real dole whip like in hawaii but it is what it is. 3 different option to buy, ended up with the dole whip float.

    Delicious

    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.

    Best Dole Whip ice cream is at Disney! We always grab one from Pineapple Lanai when not at the Thene Parks. It's especially delicious on a hot day!

    We forgot to take a pic of the Dole, but eating at the Polynesian made it even more enjoyable!
    Erin L.

    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.

    Last time there the parking lot was only for Polynesian guests so just going for a Dole whip was not allowed. Is this still the policy?

    Believe so, they scan your magic band.

Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted by the hostess and checked in. Since dinner service had just begun, we waited about 15 minutes before being seated. Once at our table, our Cast Member welcomed us and took our drink orders, followed by the bread service, which was outstanding. The warm, soft-yet-crusty sourdough paired beautifully with the butter topped with toasted Himalayan sea salt. For cocktails, I ordered the espresso martini while my wife enjoyed the Grand Margarita. Both were expertly crafted and delicious. For our entrées, we chose the surf and turf--although I jokingly turned mine into a "surf and surf" because I couldn't resist doubling up on the butter-poached lobster! My wife's filet mignon was cooked to a perfect medium-rare, and the lobster tails were absolutely phenomenal--tender, rich, and practically melted in your mouth. The accompanying sides were equally enjoyable. The aged Gouda scalloped potatoes offered a unique twist on a classic dish, while the smoky cauliflower added great flavor and balance to the meal. To finish, we shared the restaurant's famous almond-crusted cheesecake, and it absolutely lived up to the hype. It was the perfect ending to an already fantastic meal. From the service to the food and atmosphere, everything was exceptional. We'll definitely be back on our next visit!

The Lobster Bisque was not only presented beautifully, it was delicious. There was plenty of lobster in it. 4. Even the bread was perfectly flaky. 5. I think the calamari is a must appetizer, the pickled vegetables with it off a lot of flavor. 6. Many employees told me that the shrimp bucatini was their favorite. The noodles are made in house and the sauce was fresh. They did not give a bad recommendation at all, I loved it and am still dreaming about it. Con: The server handed my daughter the menu and told her to pick out her birthday dessert. The dessert was added to our tab. (I do not expect a hand out, but this was not something we asked for or were informed of)

From the moment we walked in, he made sure to ask us questions and give recommendations because it was our first time. He let us know that these were the best burgers in Orlando, and he wasn't lying. The food, although a little pricey, was absolutely amazing. I ordered the Bangin' Shrimp as an appetizer, which blew me away. The shrimp had a tempura fry to it, giving it a perfectly crispy crunch. The sauces that were drizzled on top helped to amplify the flavor of the dish. For my main course, I ordered the Shroom N Swiss burger. I love how thick and juicy the burger patties are. It's hard to find a good burger place that has thick patties, and The Whiskey delivers that meat. Another thing that blew me away was the mushroom that came on top. Usually, mushroom burgers have little slices of mushrooms, but this burger had a big fat slice of mushroom on top. And it tasted so good. This is a perfect atmosphere to come in, grab a couple drinks, eat good food, and maybe even catch a sports game or live music. Only thing I will say is that it may be a little loud for some, making it hard to hear conversations. But if you love a loud atmosphere, then this place is perfect!

The meal is a set offering and includes a salad to start followed by a plate of assorted meats (sliced turkey, ham, and pot roast) and a plate of sides (mashed potatoes, stuffing, vegetables, and mac and cheese). This is followed by a bread pudding dessert (but I believe we received a different dessert due to a birthday celebration). You can ask for more of anything if you wish. Everything was delicious! I really enjoyed the turkey which was tender and juicy as well as the super tasty and tender pot roast.

Especially if you're doing the Magic Kingdom Park for the day... You have to come here for lunch or dinner. It's no secret that Magic Kingdom is notorious for not having the best food options. This will save your trip lol. Take a boat over and enjoy an amazing meal. I went there twice in one vacation. That's how great this place is. Not only are the view scenic, but it's a covered outdoor bar as well as a restaurant inside. I would highly recommend that the weather permits to sit outdoors. You get a wonderful breeze and a beautiful view of Magic Kingdom/Bay Lake. Now let's talk food. I have yet to get something bad from here. Every single dish has been fantastic. The fish was flaky, and the sauce was a great combination savory/slight tart from the lime. It's a very refreshing and filling meal. Now this pork shank... This pork shank changed my life lol. You can go ahead and put your knife to the side because you will not need it. It falls off the bone. Combine that with the garlic rice and you're an absolute heaven. My mouth is watering just typing this out lol. The octopus is my favorite appetizer I've gotten. Is very easy to overcook octopus but they do an amazing job making sure it cuts like butter. And sweet potato hummus is a great pic for a healthier option. Now let's just dedicate a moment to the chocolate cake. I have yet to have a dessert on property that tastes as good as this dessert. The combination of the chocolate sponge cake with a caramel mousse, and whatever the hell else they put in this thing... If I had no self-control, I would've eaten the whole thing by myself lol. They garnish it with a brûléed banana... which is just...*chefs kiss* I cannot recommend this place enough. I will say from what I've seen on the app. It is tough to get a reservation here, but I've lucked out the last couple of times. We're just walking up and getting direct seating. From what hotel concierge has told me, if you are staying at another resort, but would like to come here, you cannot pull up to the gate and say you would like to eat here. You have to have a reservation. So they recommended taking a bus to the Magic Kingdom or transportation and ticket center and heading to the Polynesian from there. OK, that's everything I got for you! I cannot wait to come back and eat here again!
