If there’s one sweet treat that’s practically a rite of passage at Disneyland Resort, it’s the chilly DOLE Whip. That cool pineapple-soft-serve is part dessert, part sunshine, part “yes, I’m on vacation” moment. Whether you’re chasing a toddler, waddling with a baby bump, or just craving a break from churros, this snack deserves its own stop.

What is DOLE Whip?

DOLE Whip started life as a pineapple-flavored soft-serve dessert, developed by the Dole Food Company in the early 1980s.
Here are some fun facts:

• It debuted at Magic Kingdom Park (Florida) in 1984 and made its way to Disneyland Park in Anaheim in 1986. It was originally served as vanilla soft serve with pineapples on top!

• It’s vegan, dairy-free, and gluten-free (at least in its core form) — pretty rare for theme-park treats. 

• The Dole Whip flavor most people associate with it is “pineapple,” but now you’ll find occasional variations like mango, strawberry, or even seasonal swirls at Disneyland. In short: it’s not just ice cream. It’s a pineapple soft-serve legend.

Where to Buy Dole Whip at Disneyland Resort

Lucky you — you don’t have to hunt terribly far. Here are the top spots in the Anaheim, California resort where you can grab one:

Tiki Juice Bar (Adventureland, Disneyland Park) 

Tropical Hideaway (also Adventureland, Disneyland Park)

This newer spot offers extra flavors and swirls, including strawberry/mango combos, “float” versions, and limited-time twists. 

Tangaroa Terrace Tropical Bar & Grill (Disneyland Hotel, just outside parks)

Great if you’re staying on-site or want a break from the park crowd and still want DOLE Whip without a park ticket.

How Much Does It Cost (Late 2025 Update)

Let’s talk dollars. As you know, snack pricing shifts faster than rides get refurbished — but as of late 2025:

• Basic DOLE Whip soft serve at Tiki Juice Bar: around $7.29, not including taxes. 

• DOLE Whip Float (pineapple juice + soft serve): around $7.99. (Disneyland Resort)

• Some of the more elaborate swirls/limited-time flavors at Tropical Hideaway go up to $9.29 or so. For example, the seasonal Pineapple Upside Down Sundae DOLE Whip was $9.29 as of November 2025.

• Note: Price jumps have been happening, though, which is an increase from $6.49 to $7.29.
  

Tips for Getting Your DOLE Whip at Disneyland

• Mobile order or queue smart: At some locations, you can order via the Disneyland app, helping you bypass the line while you wrangle your stroller/kid. I ordered via the app to pick up mine at Tiki Juice Bar.

• Seek shade or grab a seat: Adventureland in Anaheim gets warm in the hotter months. The Tropical Hideaway has seating and a little more room to sit down.

• Flavor upgrade: If you’ve had the classic pineapple a million times, head to Tropical Hideaway and try something twisty (mango/strawberry swirl) or the limited Pineapple Upside Down Sundae or Peach Sundae version (recently $9.29) for a “special treat” moment. Keep in mind that these are seasonal.

• Sharing option: To be honest, the Dole Whip is kind of small already. If you’re pregnant and watching sugar, share the regular size with your partner or toddler — it still feels indulgent. 

• Best “cool-down” treat time: Afternoon after rides, before fireworks. But you can't go wrong eating it whenever.

• Mind dietary needs: Since DOLE Whip is dairy-free/gluten-free, it’s a good snack for friends with those restrictions. 

Why It’s Worth It

• It’s iconic: When you mention you’re at Disneyland, DOLE Whip is the treat people picture.

• It’s light enough: Compared to heavy desserts, this feels more tropical-fresh.

• It’s versatile: Whether you’re staying in-park for rides or popping in for a quick snack break, DOLE Whip fits both.

Final Bite

When you step into Disneyland’s Adventureland and see that Tropical Hideaway sign, you’re not just grabbing a snack. You’re buying a moment of escape. One spoonful of pineapple soft-serve, the ambient jungle drift from Jungle Cruise, your kid cheering, the sun dipping. It’s three minutes of “vacation magic” that recharge better than coffee in that moment. And at a price point that’s on par for the park-life hustle; I think it's kind of pricy for the amount that you get, but if you're at Disneyland for a once-in-a-lifetime trip, you have to get it..

So next time you’re mapping out your Disneyland snack stops, slot in DOLE Whip. Then take that first swirl and smile. Part of DOLE Whip’s charm is how simple it is. Unlike the deep-fried churros or decadent Monte Cristos, this snack is light, fruity, and genuinely refreshing.

When you’re wandering the bustling outpost of Batuu in Disneyland’s Galaxy’s Edge, you’ll find all sorts of intergalactic treats to fuel your long journey. From Ronto Wraps to blue milk, there’s no shortage of playful, flavorful, and colorful options. But if you’re seeking a captivating coffee that's both energizing and whimsical, let me introduce you to the Cold Brew Black Caf at Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo. It’s part pick-me-up, part dessert. This viral drink is much beloved, so you may be wondering how it tastes.

This isn’t just a coffee, it's something you have to experience. Imagine sipping your cold brew topped with a sweet cream cheese cloud and crunchy chocolate puffs that look like they’ve traveled across the galaxy to land in your cup. That’s the magic of the Black Caf. Just make sure to ask for a spoon as you pick up your order.

What Exactly Is the Cold Brew Black Caf?

At first glance, the Black Caf Cold Brew from Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo looks like something you might find served in a cantina far, far away. Beneath the surface, it starts with potent cold brew coffee. Then, instead of your standard splash of cream or drizzle of syrup, this one gets an upgrade: a fluffy layer of sweet cream cheese topping that’s just tangy enough to keep things interesting. Finally, the pièce de résistance are the crispy chocolate puffs (Cocoa Puffs or some knock off, it's hard to say) scattered on top for a bit of crunch and a whole lot of charm.

If you’re picturing Cocoa Puffs floating over a coffee cloud, you’re not too far off. And honestly, that’s half the fun. It’s coffee that doesn’t take itself too seriously, yet still delivers the caffeine boost you need to keep exploring Batuu. People are obsessed with this drink on TikTok.

Price and Where to Find the Coffee at Disneyland

You’ll find the Cold Brew Black Caf on the lunch and dinner menu at Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo, the quick-service spot designed to feel like a working hangar bay in the heart of Galaxy’s Edge.

As of late 2025, the Cold Brew Black Caf rings in at around $7.79. Yes, it’s pricier than your average iced coffee outside the park. You’re not just paying for caffeine, you’re paying for a full Star Wars-themed moment. Plus, in the grand scheme of theme park dining, this one feels like a fairly reasonable splurge. If you have a Magic Key Pass, then you can get a discount. Check out the Docking Bay menu on the Disneyland website.

Tasting Notes

Take that first sip and you’ll notice the cold brew base has a solid backbone. It’s strong enough to hold its own against the toppings, that is, when it's not blended with the topper. The coffee is smooth and bold, without being too bitter. Then the sweet cream cheese topping comes through, adding a velvety richness that turns your sip into something dessert-like. It's sweet but not cloying, and you get a hint of cocoa-y sweetness from the puffs as well.

The Flavor Combo - How Sweet Is It?

The best way to describe the taste is to imagine a mash-up between a creamy iced coffee and a bite of cheesecake, with the occasional crunch of chocolate cereal. The sweetness is balanced. You don’t get the syrupy sugar bomb of a flavored latte, but it’s definitely sweeter than a plain cold brew.

Texture Play

Here’s where the Cold Brew Black Caf really shines. The layers of texture keep things interesting. You’ve got the cool coffee, the fluffy cream cheese topping that slowly descends into the drink, and then the crispy chocolate puffs that bring just enough crunch to make you grin. It’s the kind of drink that makes you want to sip slowly and enjoy every oddball, delicious combination of flavors. But then again, it's easy and quick to finish.

Tips for Drinking the Cold Brew Black Caf

• Mix it up (or don’t): Some people like to stir the cream cheese topping into the coffee to blend everything together. Others prefer to sip it as-is, enjoying that fun contrast of tangy cream and strong coffee in each mouthful. Either way works! I've seen and heard of people doing both.

• Watch the puffs: The chocolate puffs start out crunchy, but they soften the longer they sit in the drink. If you like the crunch factor, snack on them early. Grab a spoon!

• Ask for no ice: Want a stronger coffee flavor and fewer floating puffs? Order it without ice. It won’t look as picture-perfect, but you won't have to fish out the puffs from the similarly-shaped ice pieces.

• Use a spoon: If you don’t want to chase chocolate puffs around with your straw, a spoon can come in handy. Think of it as part-drink, part-snack.

Why It’s Worth Trying

The Cold Brew Black Caf isn’t just another iced coffee; it’s a piece of Disney magic in a cup. It takes something familiar (coffee) and adds an imaginative twist that makes it memorable. Even if you’re not usually into sweet coffee drinks, this one is worth a try for the sheer novelty and the experience of enjoying something so playful in such an immersive setting. I wouldn't say it's my favorite coffee, but it's worth trying once.

It’s also a fantastic option if you need a caffeine boost in the middle of your Disneyland day but want something more exciting than a standard coffee. Plus, it’s just plain fun to say you had a cold brew topped with cream cheese and chocolate puffs in a galaxy far, far away.

Harbour Galley’s Pumpkin Cookies: A Fall-Tastic Treat

If you're ready to fall head-first into pumpkin-flavored bliss, Harbour Galley at Disneyland is serving up something so cozy, so delightfully squishy, you'll swear the Fairy Godmother waved her scent-sational wand to bring these to life. These pumpkin cookies are freshly baked, soft-centered, and warmly nostalgic. They are pretty thick and cakey and are the latest seasonal cookie at Disneyland’s Harbour Galley in New Orleans Square. 

Pricing and Availability

• Cookie Packs

  • 6‑pack: $7.79

  • 13‑pack: $13.79

• Optional Whipped Cream Cheese Dip

  • $1.39, but it's $1.50 after tax.
    

• Seasonal Availability

  These cookies are in stock while supplies last, and Disneyland specifically notes they’re only served through November 13, 2025. So yes—if you’re planning a fall trip, think “pumpkin cookies first, rides later.” Lines can be long, order via the app, and allow plenty of wiggle room.

Location and Ordering Tip

• Where to Go

  Nestled within Harbour Galley, located in New Orleans Square near Madame Leota’s Somewhere Beyond gift shop and Haunted Mansion. You can sit down with a view of the water.

• Mobile Ordering Pro Tip

  I highly recommend using mobile ordering to skip the long lines and secure your pumpkin goodness faster. I've seen videos where people are waiting in line for well over 30 minutes (even 1+ hour) to get these. Check mobile ordering ahead of time because this is known to stop being available too. Or the wait can be long; you just have to plan for it and around it.

Flavor and Texture: A Cozy Bite of Fall

Picture this: warm, soft, freshly baked cookies. These Harbour Galley pumpkin cookies are pillowy, and the pumpkin flavor is rich and inviting. Dunk ’em in the seasonal whipped cream cheese dip and you've got a cozy, creamy complement that elevates the dessert without overpowering it. 

Crowd Buzz and Social Media Vibes

The internet is loving these cookies. You will see long lines, viral videos, and social buzz for the seasonal Harbour Galley pumpkin cookies.

Final Takeaway

If fall had a flavor, this would be it. Whether you're strolling through New Orleans Square or dashing in with mobile order in hand—grab the 6-pack for a solo snack, the 13-pack if you're sharing (or not, I don't judge, and they are nice to bring home, too). Definitely add the whip for the full autumn experience.

Quick Snapshot of the Harbour Galley Pumpkin Cookies

The force is strong in Darth by Chocolate, the decadent parfait located at Galactic Grill in Tomorrowland, Disneyland. It’s a cosmic layer cake experience in parfait form; it’s worth booking a hyperdrive to taste. But only if you like chocolate and sweetness.

What Is Darth by Chocolate?

Darth by Chocolate is a layered parfait of:

• Chocolate pudding

• Red velvet sponge cake

• Chocolate mousse

• Crushed chocolate crème-filled cookies (I'm assuming Oreo crumbles, but it could be an off-brand, too)

• The price (as of fall 2025) is $7.59. In 2024, it cost $7.29. Magic Key holders can receive a small discount based on the tier.

• Availability: Seasonal/Halloween food Disneyland (not always year-round—check Disney Parks Blog for the current run dates).

• Order Tips: Mobile order early. I ordered via the app and then still waited a little over 15 minutes for it. I suggest ordering on the Disneyland app, marking that you are there, and then just stroll around until it says it's ready.

Where to Find It

You’ll find this sweet temptation at Galactic Grill, nestled right in Tomorrowland at Disneyland Park. It’s a quick-service, counter-style spot known for its Star Wars-themed names and inventive menu tweaks.

Quick-Bite Bullet Points

• Name and Theme: Darth by Chocolate – a Star Wars-inspired chocolate parfait

Setting the Stage: Galactic Grill’s Location and Vibe

Imagine this: you’re in the heart of Tomorrowland, surrounded by gleaming space-age architecture and whirring attractions. Just steps away from Space Mountain and the Astro Orbitor, Galactic Grill beckons with sci-fi charm and a menu split between Light Side-ish sandwiches and Dark Side-worthy desserts. It’s a perfect place to sit down and refuel, especially if you have a spot in the shade on a particularly hot day. It was over 90 degrees when I ate my Darth by Chocolate at the end of August.

Other Popular Items at Galactic Grill

While Darth by Chocolate steals the spotlight during Halloween, Galactic Grill serves up other tasty offerings to suit all tastes:

• Sandwiches and Burgers: Think cheeseburgers and fries. Classic quick-service fare with Tomorrowland flair.

• Seasonal Savories: In recent Halloween food Disneyland seasons, they’ve offered items like the Haunted Hound Dog (all-beef hot dog with bacon, fried onions) and Chile Pepper Burger with ghost-pepper salsa. Items may vary year to year, but Disneyland will often bring back highly coveted items, Darth by Chocolate included.

• Festive Drinks and Treats: The Bloody Orange Slushy with raspberry drizzle and the Iced Pumpkin Pie Chai Latte with pumpkin-pie cold foam are show-stoppers from fall menus

Drawing From My TikTok Vibe

When I shared Darth by Chocolate on TikTok, I captured that “oh-wow” moment when you first see the red velvet sponge layers peeking through. It’s chocolate-pudding heaven with a red velvet and mousse twist. Those cookie crumbs really bring it home and bring a mild crunch to the otherwise soft treat.

Whether you’re battling Space Mountain’s long lines or breezing through with Lightning Lane, the Darth by Chocolate parfait is ideal for those of us who have a sweet tooth. It is a flavor powerhouse of chocolate, red velvet, mousse, and cookie crunch. It’s a Disneyland legend that has come back for a couple of years now.

Timing is everything, though. This treat doesn’t stick around year-round. Mobile order early or plan your day around it.
