Swirls on the Water

Swirls on the Water is hands-down one of the best hacks for getting Dole Whip without dealing with long lines. If you’re craving it but don’t want to wait forever, this is the move. Not only is it usually quicker, but they also offer exclusive Dole Whip options I haven’t consistently seen elsewhere—most notably the cherry and chocolate swirl. They also have a Dole Whip sampler (basically a flight of Dole Whip flavors), waffle bowls, floats, and even Dole Whip with alcohol for those looking to level up their dessert. I even caught a glimpse of someone’s black vanilla waffle cone with white sprinkles, which looked incredible. It’s one of those places where half the fun is seeing what everyone else orders. I personally went simple and ordered a cherry and chocolate swirl along with a strawberry. Basic? Maybe. Delicious and exactly what I wanted? Absolutely. Sometimes sticking with your favorites is the right call—especially when the quality is there. If you’re in Disney Springs and want Dole Whip without the stress, Swirls on the Water is the answer. Great options, faster service, and plenty of variety whether you’re feeling classic or adventurous. 🍦

Great dinner cap with a pineapple vanilla swirl dole whip. The staff here were very friendly and tossed some jokes our way. We also forgot something important on the counter and they ran it back to us which I appreciate greatly. Definitely planning to return to this both for more dole whips if we return during this trip.

When you need a Dole Whip, this is the place to go! Super quick and friendly service. The Dole Whip float is a must try if you love pineapple!

Great place to grab a dole whip and enjoy the Florida sunshine. The seasonal flavors are great, my favorite being the key lime. They have it mixed with other item and on their own. Special treat near the Rain Forest Cafe, follow the volcano across the bridge. Watermelon and lime was surprisingly good together.

The "save room for dessert" stop at the heart of Disney Springs! Located off the bridges, on the water, it's the perfect place to grab your Dole Whip without going into the Magic Kingdom! It's amazing that they offer a sampler flight for only $7.99! I love how they perfectly decorate each one with unique toppings! They are constantly changing up the specialty flavors and offer a cone of the day!

What’s not to love about dole whip!? It’s creamy, cold and sweet!! Beautiful location in the heart of Disney Springs, on the water with umbrella covered tables. The service was kind and quick! The sampler was fantastic and priced at $7.99 (at Disney) felt like a steal! And their sampler has an ever changing menu with different flavors and toppings so every visit has something new to offer.

This place brings joy and you can see a volcano while you wait! Dole Whip should be part of everyone's Disney trip. I love to get the sampler. I loved all 3 flavors offered for Valentine season, but chocolate strawberry was my favorite this time. Usually, one of the 3 flavors is a dud (Halloween Pistachio). But not this time.

Mami’s idea to go here. She ordered the Pineapple float with spiced rum. Spectacular. I am a texture person but still enjoyed this drink. Service was fast compared to the crowd and how busy they were. Very limited shade while waiting so good luck.

Amazing quality of sorbets and presentation is awesome. Service Fast and easy order and pay. Ambiance Super Family, and So Beautiful, LOVE DISNEY SPRINGS.

First visit was love at first bite! Went to Disney Springs specifically to try the new Orange Bird Dole Whip Cone, and I was truly in Orange Bird Dole Whip heaven! I didn't know what to expect outside of a yummy/ cute cone and was disappointed to find it was a walk up with only outside seating. There were six tables with umbrellas, but my Dole Whip was melting faster than I could eat it. Definitely an oversight in Florida. Other than the heat, I have no complaints. This was truly the perfect treat. Will definitely be back again for another Orange Bird Dole Whip Cone (or another Dole Whip treat!)

DOLE WHIP FAMILY DESSERT ADVENTURE!!! Looking for Diary free around Disney or at Disney Springs. Swirls on Water got you covered. Even if you can have dairy you should try a dole whip!!! SO YUMMY!!! They have many flavors, but I say get the flight of three if you are feeling samply. The orange bird was the Fam fav. All the options are 6-10& with the sampler trio around 8$. They even have some w/alcohol options for around 12-13$ We enjoyed ourselves so much I forgot to take pictures after the front of the hut. Speaking of The Hut, which is on a bridge between world of Disney and Rainforest Cafe. They have few tables, but if you're lucky to get one you will be sitting next to the water with an umbrella over your head enjoying your cold yummy treat!!! The service was good. A little slow, but there was a line and the Cast members did look tired as we were there closer than closing time. The register Cast Member was very nice and efficient. If you're at Disney springs or NOT. Even if you want to just take a walk and hey, get a sweet treat in the middle of it. You should make the trip to... SWIRLS ON THE WATER AS ALWAYS TRY IT FOR YOURSELF!!!

This was exactly what I wanted! Dole whip sampler: key lime/coconut swirl; traditional pineapple/vanilla, and then a pomegranate chocolate swirl. All were delicious, although I like the pineapple more than all the others. I wish I could eat this every single day.

Swirls on the water is the BEST place to get a dolewhip in all of Disney. The flights change every week or so and are under $8 for three flavors! There is always a long line, but typically it's easy to get a seat by rainforest cafe.

Yummy ice cream great for a hot day! We loved the sampler option which came with 3 different swirled ice creams (so 6 flavors!). My only complaint was standing in the hot sun to wait in line for this treat. The area would benefit from some shade of some kind while you wait in line.

The BEST place for dole whips in all of WDW. They have a ton of flavors here (the days we went, it was pineapple, orange, lime, strawberry, and watermelon), and they also offer many different options like special cones, floats, flights, and even boozy drinks. There is nowhere else that has as many dole whip options as this place. If you love Dole Whips like we do, be sure to visit this stand!

This our go to snack location at Disney Springs. Everyone working here has always been friendly. We love that they rotate flavors and tend to have seasonal items. Normally the seasonal specials are our favorites, but it is hard not get the classic Dole Whip Float. Seating is limited and outdoors, so keep that in mind when ordering.

You can find Dole Whip at Disney Springs at Swirls on the Water. How is this my first time here? This is an area I don't usually pass at Disney Springs. It's on the older side on a bridge to Rainforest cafe. It's a small stand by the water on the bridge. I can't even say you can't miss it, bc I've missed it all this time. I just saw someone enjoying Dole Whip by Rainforest Cafe, & asked where it was. You can sit by Rainforest Cafe, or sit by the backside of Disney Springs. You have a water view and right across the water is the music stage so you can hear the music without being by the crowd enjoying your Dole Whip. It was quite perfect! And only about $6 for this tall serving that I shared. They have seasonal Christmas ones also. I didn't get to take the menu. I believe just chocolate peppermint and another flavor. Pineapple is the best!

I tried the Dole whip strawberry and chocolate swirl cone. The staff was fast preparing the order. The strawberry ice cream flavor was very good! The chocolate wasnt as good, though. I was also surprised by the good taste of the cone. It also had a flower candy which I was told didn't tasted good.

Mami's idea to go here. She ordered the Pineapple float with spiced rum. Spectacular. I am a texture person but still enjoyed this drink. Service was fast compared to the crowd and how busy they were. Very limited shade while waiting so good luck.

This food venue at Disney Springs is located across from Rainforest Cafe and the lakefront offering good views of so much. The menu options changes seasonally. You can get cones, cups, floats with and without alcohol as well as flights and specialty sundaes. We had the banana foster sundae which was delicious. Seating is limited next to the walk up shop, only negative was that seating is right next to gate where supplies are delivered and cast members delivering have large carts that are parked in the area ( this is not for an extended time but enough to notice) I definitely recommend giving it a try.

For us, Dole Whip is synonymous with Disney (as well as Lappert's Palm Springs and Hawaii). It is the cherry on top of a fun-filled day with family and friends. What I really appreciate is the ability to get some good old Dole Whip outside of the Disney theme parks. Swirls on the Water is located at Disney Springs and is a great place to get Dole Whip and soft serve. They also sell seasonal menu items like specialty flavors as well as alcoholic floats. You can get a trio sampler to try different Dole Whip flavors and feed three people with it. It's only eight dollars and fun to try. We got the Pineapple Dole Whip Float ($7), which was good, but be warned - the inside of the swirl is actually hollow. So, don't expect a full cup. Regardless, it was enough for my husband and I to share and have no leftovers. Swing by the next time you're in Disney Springs, grab a treat crafted by the friendly staff, find a seat by the water, and enjoy!

The first day we ordered ice cream our ice cream melted so fast. It was confusing because it's not like it's super hot. My mini cones melted so fast I didn't even have time to take a good picture before I had to hurry and lick up everything. The Christmas tree waffle was the best flavor! It was nice and big. The next day when we ordered the waffle it was a tiny tree and hallow inside. This place is not consistent. I watched people make bad cones. I should have asked for a new Christmas tree but I was too tired. We ordered 5 ice creams already on both days so we had a better experience on first day.

This place is THE place to go when it comes to Disney ice cream. They have the classic dole whip and a variety of other flavors that rotate, as well as classic soft serve. I tried their seasonal Valentines cone with a pink vanilla cone, strawberry and chocolate swirl soft serve with white chocolate sprinkles lining the cone and a white chocolate rose. This is my favorite cone I've tried here so far. The rose is purely edible decoration, but not too tasty itself. The strawberry soft serve and the vanilla cone are the highlights of this, both are flavorful and very pretty. The chocolate ice cream was a good accompaniment to the strawberry soft serve, but only if you like chocolate and strawberry combinations, otherwise it's not really needed. The service here is always good and quick. The place is a casual counter service, so you'll have to snag a nearby table or stand.

Dairy free!!!! I was probably thinking about the dole whip and most excited to have it again somewhere on Disney property the entire vacation. I decided to go with the classic pineapple dole whip twisted with dairy free vanilla for the win! It's always wonderful and super delicious and delightfully nostalgic for me! Love love love!

I went for their dole whip on a Sunday afternoon, there was a long line but it moved fast, I order the dole whip flight, and the others in my party got a waffle cone with pistachio dole whip, and a Christmas sundae creation. There were seats on site and and got to see the rain forest volcano going off. I liked it, and enjoy my time there definitely want to come back and try more of their menu.

So yummy! First time having dole whip! Had the Halloween sampler which included pumpkin marshmallow, pistachio, & pineapple. Service was quick, friendly staff! Delicious end of day snack !

The sampler was a great way to taste every thing and a good price! I split one with my husband and 2 kids. I liked the classic dole whip/vanilla and the kids really liked the raspberry and lime. I thought that was pretty tangy! The strawberry and chocolate was a weird combo taste. The strawberry kept overpowering the chocolate.

Still in love with Swirls on the Water. The sampler is where it's at because there's something for everyone and it's a moderately reasonable price - even by Disney standards. The service was quick and nice. There is some table and chair seating nearby and some low walls for sitting. This has become a fast favorite of ours and will be a place we return with each future trip.

DOLE WHIP IS AMAZING! If you're wanting a great, light, savory snack this is THE PLACE AT DISNEY SPRINGS! We went here 4/5 nights we were in Orlando because the Dole whip flavors were AMAZING! We had the raspberry/Lime combo for 2 nights then the pineapple the other! SO SO GOOD! Definitely stop by, the line may be long but it goes super fast!

My husband is a Dole Whip fiend, so we were excited to try Swirls on the Water in Disney Springs. We tried the Dole Whip Sampler which includes 3 different whips to try. The ones we had were part of the Christmas collection, and the menu rotates seasonally. Definitely stop here...try the sampler and get a little taste of everything!

We visited in September and were excited to try the Halloween flight of Dole Whips--I believe it was pistachio, purple cheesecake, and pumpkin spice. The service was prompt, and we liked the location with seating on the water (very appropriate with the name). However, only two of the flavors were available, so we didn't get to try the purple cheesecake, which was a disappointment. The other two flavors were good, but honestly that cheesecake Whip really would have balanced it out!

I am obsessed with dole whips at Disney and this was the place to get it at Disney springs!! It's a nice stall/stand so you just walk up and they swirl your order right there.

With changing Dole Whip flavors, they offer plenty of delicious options that change monthly! I would recommend the flight to try all the flavors, but their single cones are also pretty massive. The staff are very friendly and also very accommodating of allergies. They have a whole allergy book for each flavor. There are 6 dining tables nearby, but this place can be quite crowded, especially after dinner.

They always have a great selection of dole whip. The staff is always accommodating to make changes to the options.

Yes! What a great quick stop at Disney Springs (I still want to call it Downtown Disney- Ha! ) on a hot day. It is just a small window to order from and they have Dole Whip swirls! Mmmmmm. I don't;t really need to say more here I think :) Just place your order at the window and they call you when it is ready and few min later. We were able to take our trades and enjoy at a nearby bench. Definitely will be stooping by again while at Disney Springs.

Nice little ice cream stand the heart of Disney Springs. Not a ton of selections. And if you don't specifically say cone you get it in a dish. I felt like the service dropped the ball on that. The cashier was friendly though.

Sweet treat! Was happening to be in Disney Springs and saw Swirls on the water and got me a pineapple soft serve swirl. Love it it was so delicious and refreshing. They have different flavors and they also have floats with alcohol, samples and specialty flavors. This time the specialty flavor was Christmas tree sunday. Swirls on the water is located closed to Rainforest Cafe and Goofey candy company. Usually there are long lines but since it was a little cold did not have to make a long line. Great and fast customer service

This is a great spot to grab Dole Whip without going into the Disney Parks. They also rotate seasonal flavors, floats, and flights. Usually pretty quick service, though longer lines in warmer weather. There's a little bit of seating nearby but I usually keep moving.

Quick service, beautiful views next to the lake, located across the lake from the Lego store. $8 for the flight that includes mango, vanilla & strawberry, totally perfect snack for the summer! They also have alcoholic dole whips!!

We had been looking forward to the DOLE Whip Sampler tray all day! Our tray featured Pineapple swirled with Vanilla Soft-serve garnished with a Pineapple Wedge, Pistachio Soft-serve with Chocolate Soft-serve garnished with Shamrock Sprinkles, & Banana Soft-serve Swirl with Toasted Marshmallow-Caramel Sauce and Caramel Crisp Pearls. These sounded a lot better than they actually tasted. Nothing particularly wow-ed us. Service was fair. I think the best part was sitting on a table next to the lake!

Love the original dole whip flavor. You also can't miss with some of the limited edition items such as the matcha cone and strawberry flavor whip. My kids like eating their treats while watching the happenings at nearby Rainforest Cafe.

Best news ever once the Pineapple Dole Whip was finally available outside the parks. I've driven to Disney Springs and taken on I4 traffic and parking just to get my fix.

We've come here a few times now and we would definitely return here every time we're at Disney Springs. Swirls on the Water is located on the east side of the complex and it's an outdoor kiosk that has a variety of Dole whips. You can get the regular ones, but they always have a special cone as well as a special trio and we always get one of each so we can try all of the flavors. The prices are also very reasonable and it's a great place to snag a very fun dessert!

I got the sampler with 3 different flavors. The cashier had no idea what did or didn't have gluten and had to pull out a binder and started listing off dairy ingredients. I ended up asking them to leave off a topping at the end since I decided it was too much of an unknown. The original pineapple flavor will always be a favorite, and the other two were pretty good too. The unfortunate thing is that the banana one started melting entirely too fast and it made it hard to eat them all without making a mess. I ended up throwing the rest out.

So coming here has been on my Disney list for a while now as I love some good soft serve and that's exactly what can be found here! Of the options I totally went with the flight which is 3 of their delicious soft serve ice creams the first one was chocolate I got this instead of the peppermint one as I'm not really a fan of peppermint so I feel the chocolate was a very worthy choice as it was just what I needed to set off the balance of the other ones! One of the others was lemon blue cookie dough it was interesting like it had a sweet abs kinda a tart vibe to it but definitely super good too! My favorite of them though was definitely the pineapple vanilla as it was just soo good like two of my favorite soft serve flavors together which just totally hit the spot! Overall this was an awesome choice for some delicious dessert like you really can't go wrong coming here just keep in mind that they melt fast so definitely plan accordingly with that forever summer Florida heat!

Swirls on the Water is a snack stand in Disney Springs that serves the famous Dole Whip and other soft serve treats. Dole Whip was formerly available at Marketplace Snacks in Disney Springs, but Disney has moved it over to the former spot of AristoCrepes, and created Swirls on the Water. You can find it across from the Rainforest Cafe, just take the bridge over from the Lego store. There is a few tables out front but they need more. We ended up eating on a wall. To celebrate Halloween they created some special treats. a trick and treat come ($6.49), the Dole Whip Oogie Boogie Nachos ($8.99) pistachio soft serve, strawberry boba pearls, chocolate curls, gunny worms, orange sprinkles, whipped cream, and waffle chips, and what we ordered the Dole Whip Witches Flight ($7.49) a Hocus Pocus inspired trio of Dole Whip pineapple, purple cheesecake soft serve, and pumpkin soft serve ice cream. We didn't get the chocolate on the pumpkin soft serve. Although pretty and presented nicely we both agreed that the pineapple Dole Whip was the best. The orange one didn't taste like pumpkin at all. There is no need to mess around with what is already perfect. It was a cute idea for Halloween but next time I'll be back for the Dole Whip float.

Came by during the weekend. Was craving something sweet. Stood in line and then ordered with friendly staff. Dole whip tasted good.

I asked for vanilla and keylime flavors in one cup. They refused to put 2 flavors in one cup unless they were in the same machine. They told me I had to order 2 cups separately. I was already carrying food for my kids and couldn't hold 2 more cups. They refused to accommodate me. I would not recommend this establishment.

Another Dole Whip craving fix. Located next to Rainforest Cafe, Swirls on the Water serves the beloved Dole Whips with a rotating menu based on the time of the year. The service was quick- I as usual, got the pineapple dole whip and I also tried the blue cookie dough flavor. The pineapple is the usual classic, sweet and tangy while the cookie dough is sweet and honestly tastes like the Girl Scouts Samoa Cookie to me. I personally like that, you could taste a sight coconut taste, but it tasted great to me. The cookie dough is definitely a popular flavor for sure. I've seen many get a pineapple-cookie dough swirl which I plan to get in the future.

I keep meaning to try one of these Dole Whip flights! This time, I stuck with a classic Dole Whip float. Some of the other flavors I've had over the year like cheesecake just wasn't spot on.

Dole whip without the burden of going into the park They have a flight of ice cream that was available for just over $6. If you're looking to get ice cream, stick to the dole whip Pros: +dole whip and lemon flavors are very refreshing Cons: -pass on the purple cheesecake, it overly sweet and barely tasted like cheesecake -out of the strawberry flavor -barely iced, ice cream turns into soup within seconds. -pass on the blue butter flavoring. There's so much food coloring that your mouth will turn blue as well

The dole whip served at this small store is super good. We had gone a bit earlier in the year when they had watermelon and the special orange bird dish. Both were so good and refreshing in the heat. It's right by the Disney Springs Rainforest cafe, and we even got to see a volcano show while we were eating, which was neat. My only complaint about this place is that there is not enough seating available. Cast members were helpful even though there was a line, and were friendly. The dole whips we got were in the sweeter side, but they did tell us that some of the flavors aren't as sweet if you have a real aversion to a sweeter type of treat then you may want to ask for a suggestion from the cast members. I recommend stopping here, they also can have flights and such the make for some real instagramable photos!

Found this place through a local recommendation. We love Dole Whip so was very excited to try the all the flavors they have when we saw the menu! They have lots of options and we went with the Dole Whip flight. The pineapple dole whip is my favorite!! So refreshing and delicious like always!! Sadly the other flavors they had were okay. With the heat you got to eat it super quick!

We were in Disney springs after dinner and we wanted to walk the district. There were a lot of shops and they had a live show near the middle of this place. We were craving for some dessert, and we saw that this place served soft serve dole whip, so we had to give it a try. I only had the Regular Dole Whip Float, so I can only attest to that flavor. Dole Whip Float: The vanilla and pineapple swirl were an interesting combination. The pineapple was tart and tasted great, but the vanilla felt pretty standard to me. It had a smooth texture, but nothing fancy. They gave me a lot of pineapple juice in my float, which I had to have my friend finish it for me. Overall, it was a nice dessert to cool off with in the humid weather that is Florida. I would see myself coming back again.

Such a refreshing treat! I normally always go for cookies or ice cream whenever I want a sweet treat while at Disney Springs but had been seeing this place and finally decided to try. It was so delicious. I tried the Dole Whip Sample which gives you 3 different flavors the traditional pineapple swirled with vanilla, raspberry swirled with lemon, and orange swirled with watermelon. I loved the presentation and the colors. It was more than enough for 2 people to split. So refreshing on a warm summer evening. The employees were friendly and polite and even offered to help me carry my dole whip to a nearby table since my handles were full. If you are looking for a quick and fun sweet treat while at Disney Springs definitely worth checking out.

So happy to have these available outside of the Magic Kingdom and Polynesian resort. Taste's good, though I thought based on the map that it was ON the bridge and not so close to the Rainforest Cafe. But it was a nice walk. Next time will try a different flavor. Only negative is paper straws.
