The Tropical Hideaway

The Baseline: For theme park to-go food stands the food must be tasty, have an experience, reliable service, and be a part of the experience. Food: You are here for the Dole Whips! There are other items but I repeat… you are here for the Dole Whips. This visit was the Pineapple Upside Down Cake Dole Whips. WOW! Just… Wow! Best Dole Whip I ever had hands down. Little cakes bites with strong and awesome pineapple flavor. This is the stuff that will make me fat again. Love this and Disney please keep this on the menu. Service: Disney cast member service is super top notch service. Compliment you cast members on the Disneyland app as that is the Disney way to tip at non-sit down restaurants. Ambiance: Tropical Hawaii feels next to the Jungle Cruise with Fifi talking to you from her perch. Pure Disney magical feeling and it is great to be here at night with the tiki torches blazin’. Love the Tropical Hideaway!

Tucked away very pretty lots of seating. Seasonal dole whips, floats and soft serve. Had The matcha strawberry and pineapple upside down dole whip. Highly recommended

The place of Dole Whip. Did a mobile oder and was very happy with the speed from check in to delivery 😀. The only down side is that it is hallow and thus only looks full in the bowl but has nothing in the middle. So while it is delicious is is disappointing feel as for $7.00 I should not have been hallow.

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

I enjoy stopping in to see the seasonal dole whip. My favorite so far was the strawberry shortcake! I think they had it around valentines 2023. I hope they have it agian, it was so good! The regular dole whip is dairy free.

We did a pick up order on the Disneyland app which let us do a few more rides. We notified them when we were on our way and it was ready for us! Plenty of seating but not as much AC over here.

This is a great place to unwind and relax! The atmosphere is fun and they serve Disney’s classic dole whip along with other treats. We got the lumpia and a pineapple guava dole whip float. The lumpia was a bit too salty but the dole whip float was delicious. The dole whip float had pineapple and guava juice at the bottom, topped with mango and strawberry dole whip and fruits on top. Delicious!

The specialty Dole whips and Bao dumplings are something special. This trip I got the chamoy, tajin Dole whip and the pork belly Bao- so delicious 🤤 I'm still thinking about them the morning after. To enhance your tropical hideaway treats, eat them in the top of the tree house, right around the corner. Looking out over adventure land while eating something that touches all the buds is just unforgettable.

1. The chicken plate was huge! It was very delicious and filling! 2. The spot has fun casual vibes! The interior is spacious! 3. There are indoor and outdoor seating areas! There are a lot of tables! 4. The staff was friendly and timely with my order! Mobile ordering is not available! 5. This spot does not have their own restrooms! There is a restroom area nearby! Note: The staff will clear your table for us! Photo: Chicken Plate

We love tropical hideaway. The dole whips are obviously what brings most people in. But we stayed for some snacks as well. They only thing I don't love is the lack of mobile ordering, but they aren't really set up for that. I love the location with the jungle cruise in the background. On really hot days, shaded spots are very hard to find and very much needed. The dole whips are such a solid treat, any and all flavors are wonderfully refreshing. This year brought a pineapple upside down. This was amazing,! The lumpia and sauce were great, hot and flavorful. The bao buns were both good, but the bbq chicken was better.

The Tropical Hideaway is a must for sweet treats at Disneyland especially on a hot summer day. Nothing like getting your dole whip and going into the nice air conditioned Tiki Room and indulging yourself in this refreshing dessert. This year for the 70th anniversary they had a pineapple upside down dole whip complete with pineapple upside down cake, pineapple dole whip, caramel, and a maraschino cherry. I was a bit skeptical at first as I am reluctant to try new things sometimes especially when the original is perfectly satisfactory by itself, but I'm glad I went for it. The cake and whip paired perfectly together and I felt like I was on a tropical vacation. The only downside is that the caramel was primarily at the bottom, but I suppose it's expected to fall that way. It was very very sugary so beware but I love sugar so I was perfectly okay with that. All in all I would definitely give it a try since it probably wont be around much longer, but if you're not feeling adventurous a simple dole whip will always do the trick! I especially love that you can swirl flavors as sometimes I can't pick just one. The service is always excellent and efficient, and I will for sure be back on my next trip!

Perfect spot for a cool sweet break during Disney adventures! Smooth flavorful soft serve ice cream, floats or loaded in pineapple and seasonal flavors- mango, strawberry. Long lines go pretty quickly and there is ample seating with a tropical tiki vibe. A must when in Disneyland!

The pineapple upside down sundae was sooooo good. This is the current seasonal offering, so don't miss it! It hit the spot after walking around the park on a hot summer day. It had pineapple dole whip, caramel and upside down cake crumbles, topped with a cherry. We tried a lot of restaurants/snacks at the park, but this was definitely one of my favorite treats of the day! Unfortunately, there was no mobile ordering but the line moved pretty quickly. There also wasn't any seating in the area despite how many tables there were. We just took it over to the shaded Jolly Holiday area, which was just a short walk away. I noticed how many other soft serve flavors and snacks they had that sounded really interesting, so I'd definitely go back to try them!

This Disney dessert spot is iconic. I always like to try their seasonal Dole whip sundaes, and it never disappoints. And now that it's summer, you have to come cool off with their classic Dole pineapple whip! You won't regret it. The line can look long, but they are efficient and it gets moving. You order at the counter, and there are plenty of seating.

Get the Dole Whip! To share it or not to share it, that is the question. It is so refreshing especially on a hot day... Find The Tropical Hideaway behind The Dole Whip Stand. Mobile Ordering is available on the Disneyland App. Or you can wait in line to order & pay. They offer food/snacks at The Tropical Hideaway... I haven't tried the food yet... There's plenty of tables & seats to enjoy your Dole Whip :)

Dole Whip is a staple at Disneyland and one of my go-to treats. However, it's been widely available at food markets and ice cream shops around the country, so I decided to try something new! I'm glad I did because the Chile-Mango Dole Whip at Tropical Hideaway in Adventureland at Disneyland became one of my new favorite treats there! This refreshing treat came with mango, pineapple, chamoy, and chile-lime seasoning. Wow, it was bursting with flavors and so refreshing. All the toppings greatly elevated the traditional Dole Whip and I'm going to want this from now on. Highly recommend, especially if you're looking for a little spice in your dessert at Disneyland!

It was a hot Independence Day at Disneyland, and we took a break at The Tropical Hideaway for a Dole whip float ($7.29), a dairy-free frozen soft serve over pineapple juice. You can choose two out of three different flavors for the ice cream: pineapple, mango, and strawberry. I chose mango and pineapple. I think the Dole whip float is worth trying out, especially on a hot day. Despite the tangy flavors, it was still nicely sweet and refreshing. We also got the pineapple upside down sundae ($8.49), which was part of their seasonal offerings. The dessert had caramel and pineapple upside-down cake with a maraschino cherry on top. I wish I got that instead because it sounds really tasty. The line to wait took around five minutes, but you can place a mobile order. There are dispensers for utensils and napkins after you pay. It seemed like a lot of people wanted to cool off with a dessert because the only tables we saw open were under direct sunlight. We decided to just stand under the shade by a small bridge while we enjoyed our floats.

Nice place to take a break. The decorations are very nice and the music is chill. Dole Whip is a must. I didn't realize there were so many flavors and they just came out with Peach. I tried the pineapple upside down sundae and it was great. The sweet sticky pineapple bits and caramel helps offset the tartness of the whip. Love the cake crumbles too. Soft and chewy. There's a bunch of cake at the bottom to scoop up. We were lucky they still had commemorative 70th anniversary cups left from the Thursday anniversary a few days ago. Really enjoying the design and the material feels more solid than I expected. Only jarring things about this place are the talking bird which was too overdone to the point of annoying and the lights flickering too much.

The Tropical Hideaway is our go-to spot at Disneyland to eat soft serve, sit, relax, and enjoy the tropical ambiance. The only thing is it's sometimes hard to find a table when it's busy. People tend to sit at tables well before getting their food, leaving others already with their food without a table. But other than that, it's always a treat when we stop by! I really like the mango chamoy and mango strawberry swirl. Would definitely get again.

4+ small food area that feels like an outdoor cafeteria style ordering and purchasing (you wait in line to order food items and you take your tray to pay at a register). Also home to the famous Dole Whip within Disneyland. The people who gave us the food to the cashiers were all really friendly (pretty standard at Disneyland!) I've actually been here a while ago and I think I made a mistake by ordering the Dole Whip float the first time because I thought that was the 'thing to order' here. No disrespect, but I thought it was too sugary/sweet with the pineapple juice and soft serve for me. Glad I tried this place again and just stuck with the Dole Whip. I also ordered one of the baos as a snack. So now I'm for sure a fan of the Dole Whip (soft serve alone) and lime chicken bao was tasty. We had a large breakfast as part of my company picnic and our group had dinner plans outside of the park, so I didn't want to order or have a large meal for lunch. We also arrived a little after 1pm. The area was still crowded, but the line moved fairly quickly and we were really luck to grab a table as soon as we purchased our food. To give context, we were actually trying to get a bite at Bengal Barbecue (our first choice at the time), but the wait there was about an hour. So we just went here instead because it's not too far from Bengal and we were able to see the line/wait was a lot shorter.

I wish I could rate The Tropical Hideaway higher but it's not well planned out at this quick service restaurant in Disneyland's Adventureland. Both the the layout and mechanics of how it runs don't seem to be fully functional here. And if the eats were amazing to make up for it all, all may be forgiven. However, you can't just throw a Dole Whip on your menu to entice people (Dole Whips are always 5 stars ofc) and then not deliver on anything else. Disney fans love dole whips and they preying on us here hahaha ~ I kid. But I was lured in by the matcha dole whip seasonal special all over the socials right now. I've been here before and remembered the baos that had minimal fillings, a whole lot of bao bun and not enough on the inside. I do not recommend their bao. Today my friend and I decided to share the Lumpia which they really shouldn't be calling lumpia. This wasn't bad but it sure wasn't lumpia. They are basically spring rolls filled with pork & veggies which when introduced were $6.99 and are now $9.49. The price point no longer fits the two small rolls. Now all is usually forgiven here because they offer Dole Whips. As previously mentioned, dole whips are universally good. They will also offer special versions here of which, I was suckered into one of the Seasonal Offerings. I had their Matcha Float which was a DOLE Whip® Strawberry and Mango Swirl, topped with White Chocolate Drizzle and Toasted Coconut for $10. We had a bit but it wasn't very good and had no matcha flavor except for a bunch of liquid on the bottom. It was not a good seasonal offering of the standard version. It was beautiful though - very instagrammable snack. It did not help anything that on Mother's Day they were not taking mobile orders. My friend overheard someone asking staff if they had an alternative to mobile ordering when it was down (I'm sure the answer is no but instead of a lovely disney answer), the cast member shrugged. For such a popular spot, they don't have enough seating at all. It's a very small seating area that even at 11am (not peak lunch at Disneyland) had people camping out everywhere waiting for chairs, sat all over the ground & stairs everywhere. They need to expand the seating area to better accommodate guests because it was adding to guests' frustration. The food is just subpar here with better options other places in the park. Get your Dole Whips at the Tiki Juice Bar.

The line at The Tropical Hideway may look long, but it moves quickly. The Dole Whip ($6.49) is one of the best things you can eat at Disneyland. On a hot summer's day, it's refreshing taste is the best! There are three different flavors you can choose - pineapple, strawberry, mango or a swirl of two flavors. If I had just stuck with the Dole Whip, I would have given this place five stars. I tried the char siu bao ($6.49) and it reminded me that I should stick to Asian restaurant for baos, which are cheaper and better quality. Skip the baos and get the Dole Whip!

Makes me feel like a little bit of Trader Sam's inside the park (minus the fun drinks of course) but they do have fun dole whip and snack items! My son had said a few months ago, they should have peach dole whip! and sure enough last month we saw there was a new peach dole whip at the Tropical Hideaway so we knew we had to try. There is seating, usually pretty packed and mainly in the sun but the ambiance is so amazing! You are right in-between the glorious Tiki Room and the awesome Jungle Cruise. You may even have a conversation with a friend from the Tiki Room if timed right. Pineapple Dole Whip, can never go wrong (it's a classic of course!), Peach Dole Whip, very good but left a little bit of an after taste for some reason (would get again for sure though), Strawberry Dole Whip, sensational! My daughter and I got a strawberry/peach swirl and it was amazing! All are light and refreshing and I believe dairy free. You can also get specialty floats or something a bit more savory like a bao bun (which are also a tasty snack).

Dang this new flavor they are coming out is ! Had the pineapple upside down sundae and I freaking loved it! I want it again. So before we left Disney, I gotta have another one. So good. Worth the wait. I'm enjoying how the mobile up is making things easy to eat your favorite snacks. Also, there is plenty of chairs and tables to rest for a few minutes for going again on the Orange heat.

5 starts.... The season concoctions are always a hit and the new Chili-Mango is a KNOCKOUT. 10 of 5 seriously, must try, slaps hard, MVP, no printer, whatever the kids say these days. WOW. That's all I got, ambiance here is great, where are your favorite colorful button up, and pretend you're in the Bahamas..

The pineapple upside down sundae, I hear it's seasonal. Very unfortunate because it is soooooo good. I really enjoyed it especially since it was really hot. I think the next time I get it I may get light caramel though. It was refreshing, but for me personally the caramel kind of made it too much for me. More of a heavy dessert than a refreshing one. At the same time I was at their outdoor seating so if I was inside somewhere with ac I think I might have liked it with the Caramel. So if you plan to get it I suggest getting a spot inside somewhere nearby with ac. Also the line is crazy long all the time and it's not on the app to order which is another unfortunate thing, but I still think it's worth it. Give it a try. It's dole, pineapple, caramel, cherry, and I don't remember what the breaded part was exactly but I want to say it was some type of cake.

Came here to try the famous Dole Whip at Disneyland. Ordered both the Pineapple Dole whip in Pineapple juice and Mango Dole Whip. They were both tart and sweet and very refreshing. The mango didn't taste much like mango but it was still delicious. Overall, a great sweet treat to have especially on a hot summer day.

5 Stars for the Dole Whip! Amazing taste and texture. Nothing beats a nice cold Dole Whip on a hot day at Disneyland. $6.49 for a single serving with many options for toppings, mixes, flavors, and seasonal items too. The food here though is a miss, and would not recommend getting. The baos are not soft, the filling is very small compared to the bun, and overall it's such a rip off compared to what you can find outside of Disneyland.

I love coming here for the dole whip. All the flavors are delicious!! I had the seasonal Dole whip Float during Pixar fest which was really good, the P.O.G. Float is also really good. You can never go wrong with a Float here! I like the seating area because you can watch the jungle cruise boats go by.

Great place to get some soft serve after a long, hot day at Disneyland. The pineapple dole whip float had their classic/delicious pineapple dole whip soft serve but the pineapple juice in this float made it taste like there was just too much going on. Personally, I would stick to just the pineapple dole whip soft serve by itself next time I come here. I had the mango soft serve which was pretty good but not as good as its pineapple counterpart. Can't leave Disneyland without getting the soft serve here!

We tried one of everything! All 3 dole drinks were outstanding. My favorite was the spicy mango one, but the matcha was a close second. I know that menu changes often but that mango dole whip is *not* to be missed. The kids like the tropical one best with the pog juice, it was def a classic. The bao and lumpia are an ok treat but not authentic and not a good value.

Besides a churro, this is a staple spot to treat yourself when you visit. It doesn't matter if it's hot out or not you can never go wrong coming here! I love when they have specialty dole, especially the ones with fruit toppings. The lines can get long but they move so quickly that you don't even notice that's it's your turn to order. Oh and the baos are especially with the sauces. They are not oily, and packed full of meat. It's a great ratio between meat and bun. It's the one of the best spots to stretch your legs out on a hot day and slowly slurp or devour your dole. The talking birds are great features and you really feel like you are in the middle of a tropical island and tiki torches. Make it part of your to do list!

The pineapple dole whip is a Disney staple. So of course during Halloween, trying the seasonal Monstropolis Float was a must. For some reason the online ap wasn't functioning for the hideaway, so we had to physically get into the long line. It took about 15 minutes to shuffle through. Ordering was easy enough. Pick up took another few minutes for the staff to assemble the float. Then we looped around the property until we reached the cashier. The tables were completely packed so we just had to eat them standing up. This spooky little edible critter was certainly a hit with the family. The little beady eyes consisted of blueberries nestled inside hollowed out lychee fruit. Small palm-like served as the ears. The body consisted of a pineapple mango whip with passion fruit coconut juice. The top of the head was drizzled with ube dust. The whip swirl was super tasty. Usually the pineapple is overly tart for me but the coconut pandan was able to balance the treat with a toasted vanilla sweetness. Adding the lychee was a home run. It was meaty with that combination of citrus, grape, and floral notes all rolled into one. And as much as I love ube, all it did was contribute to color palate of the float. For about $10, this was still something fun and new that Disney brought to the table. Eating it took you on an adventure to the tropics, even if it were only for a few minutes.

The Tiki Juice Bar is the OG for the Dole Whip and Dole Whip Float. But, if you want to take it to the next level, just around the corner next to the Jungle Cruise, there's The Tropical Hideaway. They have the same offerings as the Tiki Juice Bar, as well as some notable upgrades. Flavor options include pineapple, strawberry, or mango--even the option to swirl flavors. There's several other options for desserts and snacks, but my favorite and go-to is always the Chile-Mango Whip with pineapple and mango swirl Dole Whip, Chamoy, fresh mango, pineapple and cucumber as well as chile-lime seasoning, or tajin. Perfect refreshment on a hot day in the park! The lines here can get pretty long--even longer than the Tiki Juice Bar--but the staff has service down and they keep the line moving quickly and efficiently.

Dole whip in different flavors? Yes, please! Nice spot for a cool snack while braving the crowds at the Happiest Place on Earth. Lines move pretty decently even when they are super busy.

We love Dole Whip Pineapple Soft Serve sold just outside the Enchanted Tiki Room. We normally order via mobile app so it's ready for pick up. Quick and easy. One of our favorite things to do at Disneyland is food and treats hop. Every time we are here we make it a point to have our Dole Whip Pineapple Soft Serve or Dole Whip Float. Dole Whip Pineapple Soft Serve is just delicious. You can taste the pineapple flavor and it's not too sweet. It's a little bit of tart, a little bit of citrus yet it has the perfect balance of sweetness to it. The portions are also plenty.

Best place for Dole Whip as it has normally 3 to 4 flavors on a given day. Pineapple, Strawberry, Mango and sometimes Lemon, Raspberry are seasonal or at other locations. I prefer The Tropical Hideaway since it's located right next to Jungle Cruise so you can hear the captains on their tours. There are tables and chairs where you can sit and enjoy your cold treat on a warm day. You can also get the dole whip in drink form with pineapple juice or a seasonal dessert concoction. They also have savory snacks like the Bao Buns, Potstickers, Miso Caesar Salad and Lumpia.

Stopped by for a late night dole whip and can't complain! The flavor of the dole whip was amazing! They had three different flavor options and ways to customize the dole whip to make it into floats or have a loaded bowl. I opted for the plain pineapple dole whip, and it was a great sweet treat to end the night. They are not shy with the portion sizes either, and the staff are super super friendly. Definitely an iconic Disney treat that lives up to the hype.

This was SO refreshing on a hot summer day! I got the chile mango whip, which was a pineapple mango dole whip swirl, topped with mango, pineapple, chamoy, tajin, jicama and cucumbers. It was sooo refreshing! I personally would prefer it without the cucumber, but it was still very tasty. This definitely elevates the regular dole whips! Would 1000% get again.

What used to be where Aladdin was located is now a tiki shop that serves up a variety of flavors of the classic dole whip with the pineapple juice. My fiancé and I are magic key holders (annual pass holders is what I prefer to call it) and after spending a hot summer day gallivanting at DCA and Disney, we love slipping in here for a night cap (except it's nonalcoholic). Tonight we decided to steer away from the classic pineapple dole whip and got the mango chile whip instead. I was nervous at first since we absolutely love the classic, but my goodness was I surprised. There is so much flavor in this whip! The mango flavor is all there, the tanginess comes from the tajin rim, and the sweetness from the chamoy. The fruit gives it a nice texture and a fresh, crisp taste. It was such a treat, I may have found anew favorite. Now I'm more excited to try their other flavors like the strawberry and I believe they have a Pixar themed one as well. Can't wait to come back toward the end of the week! Give this place a try if you're at Disneyland.

Don't let the long line deter you from trying this place! Cast members are efficient and work hard to make sure the line moves fairly quickly. Had the Monstropolis Float, which is a Pineapple-Mango Dole Whip, with Passion Fruit Coconut Juice, topped with "ube dust" and decorated with 2 Lychee Fruit & blueberries (eyeballs!). All the flavored meshed well together, and was much needed on a warm Disney day. Highly recommend!

Most People Don't Know, But, You Don't Have To Stay In Line To Order The Bao Buns & Egg rolls Located After The Dole Whip Line. Freshly Fried Egg Rolls, Freshly Steamed Bao Buns At Your Service. Such A Yummy Snack Hidden At The Tropical Hideaway. The Seating Can Be A Little Challenging. A Lot Of People Tend To Lounge At The Tables. The Dole Whip With All Their Different Variations Is A Total Hit On A Hot or Cold Day.

Tropical Hideaway is a quick service spot in the Adventureland area at Disneyland. The theming is great with all the Island vibes and even a talking parrot. Here they serve different flavors of Dole Whip and some little snacks. I tried a seasonal offering which was pineapple Dole Whip with a coconut float and strawberry sauce. It was super refreshing on a hot day. I do wish they offered mobile order here because the line gets super long.

Wow! Amazing food and cool atmosphere. We loved the Char Sui Baos and Lumpia. The only con was the ordering process. There are different booths to order at. Super annoying and inconvenient if you have kids. Overall, it was a great experience.

What a lovely place to grab some ice cream! The setting is nice and relaxing. I love the water fountain at the entrance of The Tropical Hideaway. It sets the scene for a laid back kind of vibe while you enjoy your dessert. The service is great here. Everyone is friendly and pleasant. The ice cream is delicious. The Tropical Hideaway is an appropriate name. Because for a short time period, you can forget about all of the chaos at Disneyland. And just enjoy your treat! Big fan!! :)

Had the chicken boa that I saw on TikTok. It wasn't too bad, has sort of a curry Indian food flavor. Not too bad.

Line is confusing and not clear whether or not the food is only for mobile pick up or ready to order. Cast members stand around talking to each other without bothering to direct customers to a specific area to order. Customers are ignored when standing around and not asked whether or not they have questions or need help. (Specifically 3 men working the dole whip area). Overall the ordering process is confusing to anyone that hasn't ordered from here before. Location is hidden away from main walkway which could be a hidden gem as they are the only location that has different flavors of dole whip besides the normal pineapple flavor. Plenty of seats to eat and hot food that you can order alongside the desserts.

If you've never had dole whip you have not done Disney right. This is a go-to stop every time we come to Disney. I'm a classic pineapple dole whip type of person. It's amazing and you can't go wrong. They have three flavors - pineapple, mango and strawberry that you can get as soft serve, as floats or in their tiki style sundaes. My boyfriend likes getting different things each time, this time he got the Monstopolis float, which is a seasonal item. It tasted very good. So I highly recommend stopping in to get your dole whip and then siting in the tiki style patio.

We got the monstroplis float, lumpia, and more! We got through the ordering part super quickly and were sitting and eating comfortable before we knew it. Great little area with nice food options.

Love the tropical hideaway the chili mango whip was so refreshing and delicious. Pro tip there's tajin to grab to add to your dole whip to spice it up a bit. It's nice to grab a table in the shade and enjoy your dole whip on a warm park day. The line can get pretty long but the service is fast and straight forward.

Always have to make it here for their amazing Dole whips. Everytime I come they have a seasonal dessert. For Halloween, they had a monsters inc themed dole whip. It had passion fruit juice and coconut powder. If you like coconut it was a nice touch. It's always so relaxing here. The only thing missing was the Jungle Cruise boats going by but it was closed for the time being.

Date of most recent visit: January 6, 2024 Sometime, you just gotta have a Dole Whip at Disneyland despite the weather - and while the Tiki Bar near the Enchanted Tiki Room is iconic for it, the Tropical Hideaway next door also fits the bill. Originally the Tahitian Terrace way back when, then Aladdin's Oasis, this quick service stop serves various soft serve goodies, as well as interesting takes on bao and lumpia. On this stop, my fiancée had the Dole Whip Swirl Float with strawberry and mango ($7.29 pre-Magic Key discount) and I went with the Chile-Mango Whip ($8.49 also pre-discount); the latter is Disney's frozen take on the chamango, with pineapple and mango Dole Whip Swirl, chamoy, mango, and Taijin, oops, I mean, chile-lime seasoning. Both our treats were delicious, though we ended up walking to the Jolly Holiday to find a table... yes, seating here is at a bit of a premium, so good luck when trying to find a seat. The riverside views of the Jungle Cruise boats passing by are soothing, and don't forget to pay a visit to Rosita (the bird of paradise chilling on a crate and underneath an umbrella). With her bad jokes, I can see why she was banished from the Enchanted Tiki Room (and hence answers Jose's question of, "I wonder what happened to Rosita?"). Stop by the Tropical Hideaway if you have the chance... especially during the summer!

Tried the mango chile lime whip which is from the loaded whip selection. Definitely loaded. It's a mango pineapple combination whip, topped with chamoy, tajin, and a variety of diced fruits. I tasted/seen pear, pineapples, cucumbers, and possibly mangos. It has a chamoy tajin rim around the cup and comes with a dried pineapple? piece. This would be sooo good and refreshing on a hot summer day. Advisory: the chamoy/tajin gives it a little kick. The staff here are fast, efficient, and friendly. There's outdoor seating and it can be hard to get seating during the extra busy hours. I give this treat a 4/5. It was good and I'm glad I got to try it but I'm not sure if I'd get it again. I'd definitely come back to try the other flavors and items offered here.

Always great to stop here for dole whips but don't forget about the bao buns. We decided to try all three on this visit which means you get the dipping sauce for free. They have a chicken, beef and veggie. All the baos were cooked perfectly and the flavors inside were great but I think the veggie or the chicken were our favorite.

This ice cream was too pretty to eat! It taste refreshing. They had good service and helpful. The ambiance was quiet and calm with serenity/forestry vibes.

Located in Adventureland near The jungle cruise ride, this is a nice outdoor area for sweet treats, ice cream and others. Assorted freezes and what not. And you get to sit outside right next to you the jungle Cruise ride which is pretty cool.
