2023 marks Disney's 100th anniversary and to celebrate this historic milestone, Dole launchedrecipesinspired by the magical collaboration between companies for decades.
Many Disney fans quickly recognize Dole for its icondole whip, which first came out in 1984 and has had many fresh and tasty iterations since then.
But the Dole Food Company has deeper ties to Disney, dating back to 1976 when the famous purveyor of fruits and vegetables first sponsored "Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room" at Disneyland.
In 2016, Dole signed a long-term partnership with The Walt Disney Company to bring guests and consumers more enjoyment from healthy eating and a product-rich diet.
Over the years, Dole has worked closely with Disney to implement healthy living initiatives related to Disney, Pixar, Marvel and Star Wars films, milestones and special events.
To honor the centenary of The Walt Disney Company, Dole has re-released 20 of its most requested Disney-inspired recipes.
The brand has shared a selection of recipes with Good Morning America for families and fans to recreate some magical meals and treats at home.

Tips and Tricks
: To substitute fresh herbs for dried herbs, use one-third the amount of fresh herbs specified in a recipe. For example, 1 teaspoon of dried parsley would be replaced with 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh parsley. It's also important to note that dried herbs take a little longer to bring their flavors into a dish, so add them earlier in the cooking process than fresh herbs.
