food IS a theme park
There are certain Disney World questions that sound boring until you’re actually standing in your resort room surrounded by damp pool towels, empty popcorn buckets, rogue mystery pin set wrappers, and one mysterious sock that no one in your family is claiming.

DOLE Whip has been a staple in Disney Parks since 1986, a full decade after Dole Packaged Foods became the sponsor of Walt Disney’s Enchanted Tiki Room at Disneyland. The treat spread to Disney Parks all over the world, and well, as they say, the rest is history.
New DOLE Whip Flight!
Now, DOLE Whip has expanded well beyond the standard pineapple soft serve treat we all know and love. Now, you can get DOLE Whip sundaes and DOLE Whip floats, as well as a variety of DOLE Whip flavors that go WELL beyond pineapple. One of our fave spots to grab DOLE Whip in Disney World is Swirls on the Water in Disney Springs because every so often, they offer a brand new DOLE Whip Flight (aka a sampler) with some new flavors. Well, a new DOLE Whip Flight just dropped, and we’re trying it out!

When thinking about Disney World hotels and places to stay, we don’t see Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort getting a lot of love. Maybe it’s because this resort is targeted more towards convention goers, or maybe it’s because it’s not perceived as exciting as some of Disney’s other moderate resorts. However, we might argue that you’re missing out if you don’t consider Coronado Springs for your next stay.
Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort
This hotel has a clear Latin influence, with a blend of Spanish, Mexican, and Southwest American cultures that you’ll see in the hotel’s decor and architecture.
