  I never understood the line for Dole whip at Disneyland, but my recent visit proved me wrong. Though the line appears daunting, it moves reasonably fast. If you manage to find a table, it’s a nice place to rest and chat. The theming, of course, is well done and immersive. There were three seasonal flavors of Dole whip available, pineapple, peach, and strawberry. We ordered different combinations of all three. My favorite had to be the peach Dole whip, which managed to perfectly emulate the flavor of Peach Rings. We also tried a handful of the savory items, which, for the most part, exceeded my expectations. The char siu bao was soft and fluffy. The char siu filling was perfect - slightly sweet and tender. The lumpia, which I did not have high hopes for, tasted fresh with a crispy exterior and a piping hot flavorful inside. The shrimp and chives potstickers, however, were by far the worst item on the menu. They tasted like something you’d defrost from the freezer section of a mid-tier grocery store. They were bland. They were not juicy. I wish that the bottoms were seared or something because they needed something to make them interesting, which is ridiculous because at nearly $10, the potstickers are one of the most expensive items on the menu. Everything else, however, was great.

  I love a dole whip!! You can order via the app in hopes that you won't be waiting in line. I ordered on the app and waited 15 min and only one person was in line when I got there so that kind of sucked. Overall, still good and worth it!!

  I've been here twice and both time they messed up my order. It wouldn't have been bad if not for the enormously long line and having to fight my way upstream to get the order corrected. The servers didn't seem to know what topping went on which item. At least the ambience is nice.

  You can't go wrong with a Dole whip float. The strawberry Dome whip was fantastic, too!

  They rip you off so bad on the dole whip. They take a decent sized bowl and taper the ice cream in to a little tall point instantly while coiling it so the inside is hollow to give as little ice cream as possible. $8 bucks for a small cones worth.
