My husband getting our Dole Whips!

There's nothing like the feeling when you first stumble upon a hidden gem. Since I went to Disney World annually as a child, there were very few corners left undiscovered. There were some Disney experiences, however, that my family never pursued, for whatever reason.Confession: I didn't taste a Dole Whip until my Disney College Program. In fact, the first time I stumbled upon Aloha Isle at Walt Disney World, it felt like a hidden gem. It was far from it!Disney fans on both coasts salivate over Dole Whips. It's one of the unique Disney food experiences that only Disney fans know about. For Disney fans, it's a must-do on each trip, especially under the sweltering Florida and California sunshine.However, the lines for a Dole Whip can be as long as some attractions. On our trip last month to Disneyland there was a twenty minute wait for these delectable snacks! Twenty minutes!Cast members were wonderful and were taking orders and credit cards for those waiting in line. Yet, there is an even better way to experience a Dole Whip at Disneylandthe wait.The secret: Go on Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room.This is not a setup!At Disneyland, once you enter the Enchanted Tiki Room entrance, there is a "secret" line that usually has a short (if any) wait. We tried this out during our trip and were able to skip by a massive line AND see the Tiki Room!If you want to be a spoil sport and skip the Tiki Room, just turn around and head right out the entrance.This isa hidden gem of the best kind! Tell me about your favorite hidden gem in the comments section. Have you experienced the secret Dole Whip line at Disneyland?
