I love summertime and all it brings — even those dreaded days when the temps climb over the century mark. It does no good to complain about it; we just have to live with it. But that doesn’t mean we can’t combat it.
You wouldn’t even think about forgetting your long johns if you’re packing for a trip to the North Pole. Likewise, if the weather is hot, cool off with something cold. Like Dole Whip.
I was at Disney World for the first time in decades last year, and the others I was traveling with kept talking about Dole Whips. If you’re not among the Disney tourists in the know, Dole Whips are creamy, ice-cold, pineapple-flavored scoops of heaven in a cone or a bowl. You’ll find vendor after vendor advertising the fact that they specialize in Dole Whips. So I jumped right in, joining the bandwagon of enthusiasts who dream about the creamy confection until they once again visit the park and indulge in their pineapple fantasies.
What I discovered was a scoop that hit the spot on a warm Florida afternoon, the perfect solution to cooling off as the line for the boat chute was incredibly long — no getting a cooling splash that day.
