The Tropical Hideaway

"It’s a controversial opinion but the pineapple Dole Whip isn’t all that great on its own. Add pineapple juice and turn it into a Dole Whip float, and this dessert goes into another stratosphere. The bright, acidic juice elevates the mild flavor of the frozen treat. For a different kind of kick, try the chile-mango whip, with pineapple and mango-swirled Dole Whip with Tajin, chamoy, and fresh mango. There’s also a spiked Dole Whip at Tangaroa Terrace at the Disneyland Hotel." - Julie Tremaine

"Location: Enchanted Tiki Room, Adventureland, Disneyland Surprise, surprise. The single most famous item of food at Disneyland is also the best, and if you come to the park without eating this glorious mountain of soft serve, you probably shouldn’t even tell people you came. Yes, there are lots of different flavors and add-ons these days (like the incredible chile-mango around the corner at Tropical Hideaway), but there’s still something so pure about the silky-smooth pineapple original. Whichever flavor you go with, just be sure to ask for a packet of the tajin to sprinkle on top. It’s salty, tangy, and takes this legendary dessert to a completely different level. *Only available through mobile pre-order." - Brant Cox

"No visit to the park is complete without a Dole Whip soft serve. But to experience a refreshing beverage version, get it topped with pineapple juice at the Tiki Juice Bar by the Enchanted Tiki Room, Tangaroa Terrace at Disneyland Hotel, and the Tropical Hideaway, which gives the option of three different soft-serve flavors (mango, watermelon, or pineapple) for the swirl." - Caroline Pardilla

"Bao buns, cold ramen noodles, and raspberry flavored soft-serve are on the menu at Disneyland’s newest eatery, Tropical Hideaway, which opens Friday, December 21. Most recently an Aladdin-themed character restaurant, the space draws upon its early 90s heritage as the Tahitian Terrace. The space is oozing with tiki charm, complete with torch-lined pathways and a waterfall entryway." - Carlye Wisel

"The Tropical Hideaway will replace Aladdin’s Oasis and offer views of the Jungle Cruise via an open-air dining patio. It is described as an exotic traders’ market with a vaguely pan-Pacific feel." - Farley Elliott
