If pineapple isn’t your jive, Disney offers so many flavors of DOLE Whip, genuinely making it a favorite for all fans. Some flavors are strawberry, mango, raspberry, and orange. Serving DOLE Whip as soft serve in a cup, a cone, a sundae, float, or with alcohol, Disney has all the options. This delicious treat inspired the classic cupcake sold at Contempo Café in Disney’s Contemporary Resort.
