How to Make Disney’s Vegan Dole Whip at Home Disney released the cult-favorite recipe so you can transport yourself to the parks anytime I grew up in a house that had rules — and they were reasonable ones. No sugary cereal, no staying up past 10:00 PM, no computer time until after homework was done. But on vacation, there were no rules. I remember standing outside the gates for the Tomorrowland Speedway in Magic Kingdom, watching kids crammed into brightly-colored cars bump along the track. The Florida sun made the day muggy already as I bit into the Mickey-shaped bar, chocolate and ice cream dripping down my hand faster than I could slurp it. It was 9:30 AM. That was only the first ice cream stop. As we worked our way around Magic Kingdom, we finished up the afternoon in Adventureland. Still singing “Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate’s life for me!” we waited in line at the colorful stand at Aloha Aisle for another round. What emerged from the dispensers wasn’t ice cream, but a deliciously creamy pineapple treat. Disney has been serving Dole Whip at Walt Disney World since 1986, but on the day I discovered it, it was like what Aladdin sings to Jasmine on a magic carpet ride: a whole new world. Dole Whip is a cult-favorite snack at Disney, and I’m not exaggerating when I say it’s the best snack the parks have to offer. You can only find it in a few places at the parks — so I always make time to wait in line for a chance to cool down. I’m holding out that I’ll still be able to return to Disney later this year, but until it reopens, I’m whipping up my own Dole Whip at home, thanks to Disney releasing the recipe on the My Disney Experience app.
