Aloha Isle Crisis!!!!

[MakiraMarlena]

Apparently the website has not been updated wtih the new menu.

I refuse to wade through 4 pages of wailing over the disappearance of fake ice cream. All I can say to the OP is that if this signifies a crisis in your life, you lead a very sheltered and privileged one. That is all.

Wow, that was totally unnecessary and rude. You really are an Unapologetic WDW world fan. Newsflash, some people preferred the vanilla swirl and it means they may not enjoy a favorite snack. Life altering? No, but annoying when you are looking forward to it on vacation. Sheesh.

Asked at aloha isle today and still no vanilla.

Is this really necessary? Why keep reading if you find the topic so offensive? Sound like you just want to be mean.

I get that this is just soft-serve, but like many people this was sort of a tradition for my family....something we did at least once a trip....get a few dole whip/vanilla swirl floats and split them. While it might not exactly be a crisis, I'm very disappointed to see this disappear even if it is just soft serve. I can get a regular dole whip at a local amusement park, but they don't have the floats so it was something special that only happened at Disney. I don't care for the pineapple floats....too much pineapple.

I agree with this. So I wrote to Guest Services. The email is:
Guest.Services@disneyworld.com

This is the response I received:

I'm sorry, but this is ridiculous. Do you complain and start a petition every time your supermarket stops stocking a favourite product?

All this over vanilla ice cream. As Charlie Brown would say, good grief.

Actually, i have never done this. This is a tradition we have in our family. I am going soon with extended family including my elderly father, who hasn't been. We wanted him to try one & I'm hoping they bring it back.

It's not the vanilla ice cream. It's like having a Mickey bar - something fun we do.
The title of the thread is unfortunate - it's not a crisis. We just like it.

Do you always post comments just to be snarky? The petition is a bit much but may be done partially as a joke.
I enjoy Dolewhip swirls and would like to know if this is temporary and if Pineapple Lanai still has them. I Believe the OP also called it a "crisis" without total sincerity but with some humor. If you don't care about the dessert, why waste your time reading and commenting?

 

[TagsMissy]

Maybe you can sign the change.org petition to bring it back........hahaha.

I've no desire whatsoever to sign any petition over vanilla ice cream.

Maybe the line will be shorter now...lets hope so!!

Food is serious business!!

I was always curious as to how it was so popular because the real deal I had in Hawaii at Dole plantation was WAAYYYYYY too sweet. But now I know the secret was the swirl!

People who don't care should just move on. I wish the rest of you good luck

And yes, sometimes getting a bunch of people to 'complain' does work. Not very often, but in some instances it does.

Exactly. The swirl cuts back on how acidic and sweet the pineapple is, especially when made into a float.

Some people are also just curious as to why it's gone and if it's temporary/permanent.

I'm LOLing at all the people who can't understand being upset about some silly vanilla ice cream, yet they are taking the time to read and post about how silly it is. Isn't it ironic?

I'm assuming the term "crisis" was meant to be tongue in cheek.

 

[Newsies]

I thought Sunshine Tree Terace and Aloha Isle were switching locations? Is the swirl still available at STT?

There is something to be said for 'tradition'.

While I wouldn't start a petition, yes, I would have no problem speaking to the manager at my local grocery store if they stopped stocking a product that I liked and often bought. While it might not changes things, it also might bring it back if enough people complained.

Look ... the word crisis is clearly over the top, but there have been a mountain of posts on this and other sites with fans venting their frustrations when Disney has taken away or changed one of their favorite things (yes, even food items) about DL or the MK. Nothing wrong with that whatsoever.

I mean, if they decided to change Mickey Bars, there would be a similar reaction. Deal with it.

 

[Fsudisney]

I also don't understand why some people comment on this post so negatively. Sure, you may not care for the Dole Whip at all but for some it is a favorite or a family tradition.
I am sure all of you haters have some sort of tradition you love that you would be just as angry about if they took it away. Let people be upset for Pete's sake. If you don't like it don't read the thread.

This is so disappointing. I was always a classic pineapple dole whip in the cup kinda gal until February. I tried pineapple swirled with vanilla and I thought back to all those years where I made the wrong choice. The swirl was the perfect amount of tangy but sweet. My heart has been broken and there is nothing that can fill my newly made dolewhip hole.

Asked at aloha isle today and still no vanilla.

Does anyone know if this is still the case?
