Anyway, with the swapping of booths in Adventureland as some sort of preparation for the forthcoming Jungle Cruise-themed restaurant (which is a whole other story--is this something we want or have asked for? Will the "skipper" waiters make puns of our orders? What will the cuisine feature?), you can now only find pineapple soft-serve at one stand, and orange and vanilla at another. I don't know about the floats. But I do know that pineapple-vanilla twist did not find a new Magic Kingdom home in the shuffle. It is gone.
Photo and great opinion piece from blog.wdwinfo.com.
When we asked about this, we were told that since Disneyland in CA did away with their pineapple-vanilla twist, WDW was required to follow suit. This cast member added that the Polynesian resort serves it. I don't understand why we now have to take a ferry over to the Polynesian just to get a treat that was always available in the park. (There is a very in-depth article on the new Pineapple Lanai shop at the Polynesian from Disney Food Blog--you now have the option to purchase your whip in a souvenir cup or bowl!)
Apparently you used to be able to make your own pineapple-vanilla soft serve towers at a restaurant in the Polynesian called Captain Cook's--I love this picture from the blog easywdw.com! They used chopsticks to make a very impressive tower!
I settled for an orange-vanilla twist and was sorely disappointed. At least this interaction kept us in the area long enough to realize that Rafiki had shown up for photos! Is that new?
BFFs!!
