It’s no secret that my family and I love Disneyland. Going to Disneyland has become a very memorable experience for our whole family, with my parents even going for the first time with us over a year ago. On one of our previous trips, my husband put together a list of foods he had to try; Foodie Mission. One of the food items that is considered a must by all who go to Disneyland, especially during a heat wave, is Dole Whip.
CAN YOU GET DOLE WHIP OUTSIDE OF THE PARK?
Dole Whip becomes something you crave when warmer weather rolls around back home, especially during the Summer months. The question many of us Disney fans start to ask is “Can you get Dole Whip outside of the park?” and recently that question was answered when a list came out of places in Vancouver you can find Dole Whip!
You better believe you went on a mission to try and find Dole Whip. We wanted to see if it truly was the same as the magical pineapple sunshine you can get at the Tiki Juice Bar in Adventureland. On a recent family adventure in Vancouver, we decided to treat the girls to some Dole Whip and try it for ourselves.

We went to Poké Time on Robson Street. We actually tried to get to the one on Howe Street but couldn’t find it. Thankfully, we only put a little change into the parking meter. The location on Robson Street is also pay parking. It’s a small little shop with cute pineapple decor on the wall. We were able to grab a small table on the left as soon as we walked in and Jason went to order the Dole Whip for us.
IS IT TRULY LIKE DISNEYLAND DOLE WHIP?
This is what we wanted to find out, was it truly like the Dole Whip we’d had in Disneyland? The answer… no. I found the consistency to be different than what I’ve had in Disneyland during my trips there. I found it to be a bit more icy than creamy like in Disneyland.
While it’s not the exact same as what you’ll have in Disney, but you are saving the cost of travel, hotel, park tickets, and exchange rates. If you are not planning a trip to Disneyland anytime soon, I would say it’s an acceptable substitute and it’s sure to quench those Dole Whip cravings. There is just something about pineapple soft serve that makes everything better.
I’ve had pineapple frozen yogurt before and it was really good!
I would love to try the frozen pineapple yogurt,looks so yummy !
My husband raves about Dole whips, and they sound delicious, but I’ve never had one. I’ll have to see if anywhere near me sells copycats. Mmm.
ooh yummy… dole whip is so good. I’m gonna have to try this!!
Your girls are adorable and look like they hard so much fun at Disney! This is a great resource for families looking for a yummy snack in the park… especially on a hot day!
I have never had Dole Whip at all! We still have not taken our four kids to DIsney but I will put Dole Whip is a must have there once we do go!
Ive heard so many good things about Dole Whip and someday when we make it to Disney it’s definitley on the list of things to try!
Yum! I’ve never had Dole whip, but these look so delicious!
