Get Your Dole Whip Fix at Aloha Isle at the Magic Kingdom

If there's one snack that is always on my must-eat list every single time I'm at the Magic Kingdom its Dole Whip. For me it's the quintessential Walt Disney World treat! And while it is available at Disney's Polynesian Village, and at Sunshine Tree Terrace, and sometimes even at the Animal Kingdom's Tamu Tamu Refreshments I always have to stop at Aloha Isle or it just isn't the same.
