The Tropical Hideaway

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.

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.

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.

Also, dining at the Tropical Hideaway during the evening is magical and really adds to the relaxing ambiance.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
