The Lowdown On Aloha Isle
First things first, if you are after something substantial to eat, Aloha Isles isn’t the place. If it’s a quick bite of a sugary pineapple Dole Whip float you are craving, however, you are in luck. A Dole Whip is a popular frozen treat that is blended with sweet flavors, including the aforementioned pineapple flavor, as well as vanilla and raspberry, too.
Perfect for cooling the kids down after a morning exploring the resort, these floats from Aloha Isle are a famous staple of the Orlando resort and certainly shouldn’t be missed by anyone!
Besides serving the famous Dole Whip, Aloha Isle also provides refreshing pineapple juice and water. Although the menu is limited, it’s a popular stop for many people.
Therefore, like many places in the Magic Kingdom, you might need to queue at Aloha Isle. But let us tell ya, it’s 100% worth it.
