#8: Conga Fruit Drink
On our honeymoon, my husband and I ran across this by accident when we were on a mission to find the #7 snack (below). We were waiting in like at the Cantina De San Angel in the Mexico Pavilion for a sugary snack, and saw an orange frozen concoction mixing behind the counter. We asked the girl behind the counter what it was and she said "It's a Conga...orange fruit drink." We ordered 2, and she looked at us funny and told us they didn't have alcohol in them.
These fruity delights were from the Cantina De San Angel was recently renovated into La Hacienda restaurant. (Are you sensing another theme? Snacks from former restaurants...*sigh*). That being said, I don't know if these are still available in the Mexican Pavilion. However, I did find a recipe that claims to be the same as these fruity delights:
Conga Juice
5 cups orange juice (pulp free)2 cups pineapple juice1/2 cup lime juice1/4 cup Maraschino Cherry juice
Best served over crushed ice, or put in freezer to create a slush type drink.
#7: Churros
Churros are fried dough rolled in cinnamon sugar. Tell me something about that sentence that doesn't sound delish. Fried dough? Bring it. Cinnamon? Yum. Sugar? Can't get enough. Think of it as Taco Bell cinnomon twists, except warm and soft and without that stale taste.
Churros stands are apparently a lot more frequent at Disneyland. For awhile, I think Mexico and a stand at Downtown Disney were the only 2 places that had Churros at Disney World, although that list has expanded some. There is a stand near "The Great Movie Ride" at Hollywood Studios that give out free churros to honeymooners, at least the day/time we were there!
Next time you are at the Mexico Pavilion, take a break for a cold frosty drink and some warm sugary goodness. If you can't make it to Mexcio, just use the Conga recipe above and this Churro recipe from Food Network. That is the same thing, right?
