If you ever have the opportunity to watch Wishes from the beach at the Polynessian Resort, I highly suggest that you do. The view was spectacular and just before Wishes started, the Electrial Water Parade came out on the river and set up. They did their thing while Wishes was going off above them. Now if the 3 year old had just sat still and enjoyed it….. eh. He’s such a cutie!
Oh and I got my first Dole Whip and oh man was it good! It was the Pineapple flavor and they sell it in the food court at the Polynessian hotel.

Loved the Dole Whips. Did not know they sold them there. I’ll keep that in mind. We watched the Electrial Water Parade from the camp ground where we stayed. I loved it!
Abby says
I had my first Dole Whip last year–who knew a treat could be so invigorating and cooling?
Karen A says
I love the Electrial Water Parade!!! I think it’s one of Disney’s best secrets.
Natalie says
Love the pictures! Have a Dole Whip every day you’re there for me! That’s my plan on our next trip to..I miss them sooo much!
Kathie M says
I had never even heard of Wishes before. I was wondering what it was when you mentioned it earlier. Thanks for the pics to clear it all up.
Carrie says
Even after the moths that I work there and all of the many trips I’ve taken, i have never had a Dole Whip. I’ve explained it to all my guys and now they can’t wait to try one :)
Thanks for the play-by-play; don’t forget to enjoy your time with your family!
Kristin from Couponing to Disney says
Yes they did have the music playing! It was really great!!
Dole Whips are like soft serve ice cream with a tropical flavoring. So good!
Will definitely try the Dole Whip float!
Eileen says
We love the Dole Whip!! You can also get it at Magic Kingdom so you can enjoy another one today!
Ashley says
I am so so so jealous of you! What fun! As many times as I’ve been to WDW, I haven’t ever had a Dole Whip. What exactly are they?
Monique Rizzo says
we all look forward to Dole Whips!
Gina says
Wonderful pictures… wish I was there too. Loving all the post and pics.

tonia freed says

Laurie says
Dole Whip is a family favorite of ours – I am so jealous!!
Amy Jensen says
Can you hear the music for the fireworks from the beach? We are going in June and eating at O’hanas, so it would be perfect timing for us to do that too!
Michelle C. says
I am taking notes. That sounds like a perfect place to view the fireworks, especially with smaller kids, and those like my 5 year old son that may be on the autism spectrum, being really close to something like that can overwhelm or scare them!
Glenda says
YEAH! You got a Dole Whip! YUMMY! You need to try a Dole Whip Float. I get the one with swirled vanilla ice cream and Dole Whip with pineapple juice. Great on a hot day!

So wanna hear something really crazy weird? Another couple I’ve known for years, the husband posted on fb last night about 10 minutes after you said you were going to the Poly for wishes and said “we’re sitting on the poly beach waiting for Wishes to start” :-) ha. small world
