This Magic Kingdom Snack is Basically Vacation in a Cup

If you’re on the hunt for a refreshing, tropical treat in Magic Kingdom, there’s one spot you’ll want to make a beeline for: Aloha Isle.

Tropical Serenade

If you are a fan of the iconic DOLE Whip, then this snack stand is familiar to you. While we LOVE the classic DOLE Whip, when we first heard that a new treat was being added to this menu, which included a cake pop and POG Juice, we knew that our hearts were about to be stolen. That’s why we still can’t stop talking about the Tropical Serenade.

First, a little Disney history: the name “Tropical Serenade” is a throwback to the original version of Walt Disney’s Enchanted Tiki Room, which actually opened under that name on day one of Walt Disney World. So right away, this snack earns some nostalgic Disney points. It’s also worth noting that this snack originally debuted during the 50th Anniversary celebration, and it became so popular that it has stayed around.

Aloha Isle can get crowded!

WE KNOW – there are SO many great snacks at Disney World! How do you choose (we don’t want to choose, but will blow our budget on Day 1 otherwise)? We’ve got you covered! We have reviewed nearly EVERY snack available at Disney World, and we’ve written a series of DFB Guides about them! You can grab our Magic Kingdom Snacks Guide below.

Now for what you’re actually getting for $8.29: a float made with creamy Coconut Soft-serve, Passion fruit, Orange, Guava (POG) juice, and topped with an Upside-down Pineapple Cake Pop. And honestly? The base of this float is fantastic. That coconut soft-serve is rich and smooth (we already know and love it), and when it mixes with the bright, fruity POG juice, it creates the ultimate tropical combo. It’s refreshing, sweet without being overwhelming, and perfect for a hot Florida day.

While it sounds good in theory, dipped in candy coating and rolled in sweetened flaked coconut, the reality just doesn’t deliver. Inside, it’s a dense, mushy texture that lacks any real flavor. Although we can see kids loving it because — hey, it’s a cake pop!

The Tropical Serenade is a MUST!

If you are using the Disney Dining Plan, we do have some sad news. This does not qualify as a snack credit, and it is actually one of the only things on the Aloha Isle menu that is not a snack credit. However, we still think this treat is worth the money as it is easily shareable, if you are willing to give up some of this deliciousness. Head over to Aloha Isle to pick one up before heading on Pirates of the Caribbean or Jungle Cruise!
