The Crew’s Cup Lounge

However, one of our favorite spots to grab a quick bite to eat without needing a reservation is The Crew’s Cup Lounge, which you’ll find right next to Yachstman Steakhouse.

REVIEW: A NEW DOLE Whip Flight Has Arrived in Disney World

By 1 Comment

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!
