Special Tips: Dole Whips

Dole Whips are one of those things that "Disney Insiders" insist upon every time they are in the parks. Somehow, Jer and I had missed them every trip until the most recent one.
As it turns out, I HAD actually been eating Dole Whips for the last few years--but only in secret. It was a secret, it turns out, to everyone, including myself.

Dole Whips (tm) can be found at the Aloha Isle stand in Adventureland. It's right near the Swiss Family Robinson Treehouse--right across the walkway in fact. Here's why I've never stopped there before:
The lines are always hella long, and they serve Dole Whips almost exclusively. That checks off two boxes in my "reasons never to go there" list regarding Disney attractions.  It is also well camouflaged for a food service location, those who aren't looking for it will walk right on by despite it being on the main path.

Big Thunder Mountain

We've been working hard on the book for a while now, particularly focusing on our MGM Hollywood Studios info. However, every time we ask people to pick their favorite park or favorite ride, they almost always name something from Magic Kingdom. And so, to honor everyone we know, we bring you a breakdown of one of the classics: Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. Enjoy!

I took this from the ride itself. Not recommended if you aren't good at multi-tasking.

Know Before You Go: Prepare the Smart Way!

Good News! Things are moving here at In-Betweeners...and by things I mean me, Jen.

I just made a move from my home in CT down the east coast to Jeremy's home in NJ which is awesome as it means we'll have lots more time to work on the book.

Before the move, however, I got to sit down with a couple other in-betweeners and talk to them about their last trip to Disney. My friends, Sara and Alex, will be joining us in Disney on our next trip. They'll be serving as Guinea pigs, of a sort, for our travel tips and expertise, so I decided to ask them what their biggest problems were when traveling to Disney. Their answers didn't surprise me, and their problems (and likely yours, as well,) are all easily solved with smart preparation.

Knowing your CAN'T MISS List

Disney Itinerary

This one is probably the most important part of planning the trip, aside from booking it. If you don’t know what you want to see, you could very well end up missing it.
