In two of my posts a while back, I talked about when you should plan on going to Disney World. The one was titled We have to Wait until the Kids are Out of School. In that article I talked about travelling to Florida in the summertime. Of course there are drawbacks to being there in 95 degrees and 95% humidity, but if there is a Thirsty Thursday way to make this time of year bearable, it would be a trip to Aloha Isle.

Aloha Isle is the little refreshment stand across from the entrance to The Swiss Family Robinson’s Tree House. This stand isn’t very big and doesn’t offer a

whole lot of refreshments, but it is the place that you want to visit (you’ll find that many people agree with me, when you get there and see the line) especially when it is hot outside.

The Menu features, Coco-Cola products, some hot drinks (coffee and tea or cocoa) cut pineapple, chocolate or vanilla soft serve ice cream and chips. But

this isn’t what the people wait in the line for; no they wait in the line for the other two items on the menu; the Pineapple Float and the Dole Whip. The Dole Whip is Soft Serve Pineapple ice cream (you can also get a Pineapple Vanilla Swirl Dole Whip). The Pineapple Float is a Pineapple Dole Whip with pineapple juice. These two pineapple concoctions are unbelievable!

Another great drink for a hot day in the Walt Disney Resort is the Frozen Lemonade. This drink can be found at different places throughout the parks. I think we had our first one at the snack stand in Frontierland in the Magic Kingdom, but we also had it in Epcot and Animal Kingdom. The Only problem I have with the Frozen Lemonade is that it disappears way too quickly!

Both the Dole Whip and the Frozen Lemonade are on the Disney Dining Plan as a snack credit, making it easy to get one when you are thirsty on a hot summer’s day, or any other time for that matter. So when you need a cool drink, head for Aloha Isle for a Dole Whip or look for the refreshment stands that sell the Frozen Lemonade and Enjoy!
