(Continuing the fun at Walt Disney World's Polynesian Resort!) We went back to the car, Sun-Ho to shed his itchy lei, Nanea to change her clothes (something she really likes to do). Once they were all decked out in their fabulous Hawaiian tourist outfits (gifts from a friend), it was time to check out the renowned Pineapple Lanai, a cute little outside cafe inside the resort. It's what they'd been waiting for, ever since they'd heard about Pineapple Dole Whip. To find this bit of paradise, you have to walk through the Polynesian lobby and exit via the door heading to the bungalows/pool. The Pineapple Lanai is on your left, just through the doors. "Oh, Auntie, everything is so so so PINEAPPLE-Y! Little Eloy would LOVE this place! We need more Dole Whip souvenirs!" Nanea was so excited that she put on her new Mickey Mouse necklace and Dole Whip pendant (actually, she's wearing two of them, because she brought one home for Leo). She chattered away about her new "fashion accessories" while we stood in line to order. Sun-Ho wondered why she wasn't talking about food, considering that it's usually what she's talking about the rest of the time . . . and this was actually the right time to be talking about food. "Girls . . ." What?! They sell more than Pineapple Dole Whip?! Oh, no! The menu offered everything from a pineapple juice float in a souvenir tiki sipper to a lime-flavoured Te Fiti cone garnished with an orchid, but Nanea and Sun-Ho could not be tempted to sway from their original mission. They knew they couldn't go home without experiencing Pineapple Dole Whip. No souvenir sipper cups or exotic flowers would deter them. Just delectable, mouth-watering, plain, old-fashioned, DOLE WHIP! "Oh, Grammy, it's just our size, too!" It wasn't hard to find a table, but Nanea was so busy admiring her Dole Whip that Sun-Ho grew worried it would melt before they could eat it. "Just eat it, already!" The Dole Whip was everything they'd imagined and MORE. Sun-Ho couldn't wait to tell the other boys about it, especially Eloy, who would just have to carry this at his Everything Pineapple stand. Dole Whip is now Nanea's "dessert of choice". She brought home plenty of servings, so if you ever drop by to visit her Island House on Islandshire, you'll have a sweet treat waiting for you! Of course, you might have to eat some Poi first . . .
