You have very lucky grandchildren, Tamela! I bet they are getting excited to be able to visit "The Most Magical Place on Earth" with their grandparents! One of the great things about visiting Walt Disney World Resort is that they are dedicated to making sure all their guests are happy and will truly accommodate a wide range of dietary needs. Check the
Special Dietary Requests page on their website, as it provides up to date contact information. Many quick-service restaurants offer allergy-friendly menus at the counter, so always ask for one before ordering.
I happened to find a list of ingredients on the DOLE Soft Serve website, and I'm pleased (as a pineapple) to report that your granddaughter can still enjoy her DOLE WHIP! Pineapple DOLE WHIPs are gluten free, dairy free, vegan, and free of the top common allergens- just make sure you ask for it without the vanilla soft serve. My favorite way to enjoy it is in the form of a float made with DOLE® Pineapple Juice! If you plan on getting it at
Aloha Isle in Magic Kingdom Park, give
mobile ordering a try through the My Disney Experience app on your phone so that you can avoid the lines. And less time waiting in lines means more time to ride attractions!
If you'd like to enjoy your DOLE WHIP elsewhere, you can also find them at the Pineapple Lanai at Disney's Polynesian Resort and at
Tamu Tamu Refreshments in Disney's Animal Kingdom Park (I recently ordered one here with rum, and it was a great motion sickness remedy after riding Avatar Flight of Passage)!
Have a fantastic vacation, Tamela!
