5. Fans of the famed frozen pineapple dessert dole whip will no longer require a ticket to their nearest Disney park to get a taste of the frozen sweet treat.

Dole packaged foods officially unveiled its first at-home version of the iconic dole whip this week.

The newly packaged dole whip is described as "a better-for-you dessert" with a creamy texture and made with real fruit. It comes in three flavors: classic pineapple, mango, and strawberry.

The frozen swirled dairy-free dessert first debuted in 1984 at the magic kingdom as part of the Hawaii-founded fruit producer's sponsorship of the enchanted tiki room. No word on when it'll be in the stores, so keep your eyes open.
